My issue is with you. Ever since you were made a moderator, you've gone out of your way to make sure everybody knows who the big dog is around here. Go ahead and tell everyone what board rules I broke. Hey, it's no problem. I get it. Fun isn't allowed..............unless you aren't around. Somehow you felt threatened by a little sports talk. So you squashed that. Next I guess a reference to "Christmas Vacation" made you uncomfortable. Would you prefer we talk about the passing cirrus clouds that are likely to show up sometime today?

That's the part you are failing to see. It's not just an internet forum. It's a community of people who have come to "know" each other pretty well. It's the back and forth that makes the forum great, not the weather itself. I'm cool with letting it go if you are. I know you have a job to do.

WinterWxLuvr Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 The weather last night for the Bengals-Steelers game was great. Looks like slightly warmer temps for the Ravens-Texans, WVU-MD and Lions-Skins games this weekend with a chance of showers. Hopefully that rain doesn't result in too many fumbles. And big series on tap for the O's in beantown. Chilly night for a game up there. LOL, awesome post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you have a job to do. Yes, and I let a LOT of that back-and-forth happen. Everyone gets pissy when it's their own precious post that gets culled. I'd suggest whenever that happens that the person who's post just got taken down take a brief moment to stop and think "is the comment I made REALLY worth getting upset about"?

WxUSAF Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It is by far the worst forum on here. All perspective really. Many people (especially red-taggers...and yes, their opinion does count for more than yours) enjoy a MUCH more highly moderated environment. Not just talking about DT either. Given that Randy and Ian are the board admins and they live/post in our subforum, I personally generally follow their lead. Both of them like a bit of banter and back-and-forth, and believe it or not so do I (I know...shocking). So, that's how I go about my business. Plus, and perhaps it's just luck, but we really haven't had any red-taggers in our subforum get upset at the amount of banter and OT disco. Wes even likes to mix it up a bit himself. That hasn't been the case as much in other subforums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know this is the internet so a little perspective is way too much to ask for. Well, you have to have some perspective yourself. If you want to know the truth, it wasn't the deletion of my post that got me started. It was the objection to a few football comments made by some of us. Perspective would have said that it would have stopped on its own. The "Christmas Vacation" post was bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't been the case as much in other subforums. I understand moderating a storm thread, or even a long range thread. But the obs thread is usually an obs and banter thread. What you alluded to wrt Ian and Randy, and the back and forth that goes on here (and from what I can see, in the NE forum) is what makes those forums the best. Just my opinion, but my opinion is the only one I can give you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 If the burning desire to blow off steam on a weather board can't be controlled, then feel free to start a monthly banter thread.

That hasn't been the case as much in other subforums. I am not going to pile on and this is my last comment on this. It seems at least to me that the red taggers on this board who do most of the contributing i.e Wes, Scott, Will do not mind the banter at all. The one mod who dislikes it is Adam, hence the Stalin-esque regime in the Philly sub forum. If all we talk about is weather especially during really boring times such as now, the board loses 90% of the reason that people come here in the first place. Just my 2 cents and im sure it does not count for much. Have a great day and let's hope the O's can pull a miracle and get into the playoffs and then me and you will go out for drinks .

Some don't mind the banter. I personally don't mind a modest amount. I'm sure everyone's personal line is different and we're actually discussing that very thing (i.e., uniformity) in the staff forum. I felt that the sports talk was starting to grow rather than reach a natural conclusion after several posts. BFD. We have a sports forum. As to the red-taggers...we'd probably have some MORE red-taggers (at least in a few places) if banter/OT talk was completely gone. It's a balance. We have ample places to have non-weather talk on this board. If people can't keep the banter in the obs/disco thread to a low minimum, then we should open up straight banter threads each month. That makes it far more cut and dry for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr's post needed to be removed. Then all this pent up angst just came pouring out of the woodwork. Not going to debate heavily here. I think at least one or two of the posts were probably worth canning.. not sure this thread is needed though, or if it's valuable to go out of your way on things that aren't reported etc. re: banter threads.. the general obs thread has historically been one it just doesn't have it in the title lately. perhaps it's not good enough as one when there's nothing to talk about anyway (and it's the main thread).
