MJO812 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey, the PHL sub-forum may not have the red taggers it once did, but if you go into a storm thread, you can easily find quality analysis from...Ray. There are more posters that post in this sub forum than in that sub forum since when does meteorologist = teacher? http://weather.about.com/od/weatherfaqs/f/meteorologist.htm A meteorologist is an individual with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain, understand, observe or forecast the earth's atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere affects the earth and life on the planet. This specialized education would be a bachelor's or higher degree in meteorology or an atmospheric science. Individuals who have little formal education in the atmospheric sciences, or who have taken only industry survey courses, and who disseminate weather information and forecasts prepared by others, are properly designated weathercasters.

MJO812 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 As you can tell by my post count, I probably have 2000 posts in total from joining weather boards since 2003ish lol Im the epitome of read more, post less I have way too many posts because I'm a big weenie and I was on Easternwx 24/7 before I got a job at CVS in 2008. I have been five posted 3 times. In other hot topic for the day news, the sky had a thunderstormish look to the sky that you usually see in the summer from the showers out west. Excited for storm season baby It smells like rain. Forky can post here however he likes as long as he doesn't violate any board rules. There's no requirement that he "teach people". He should teach me how he keeps his body in great shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I agree-the contradictory and incorrect PBP's made things very annoying to read through and also sparked bickering back and forth. One person should do PBP for the Euro, that's it. People can analyze and discuss the resulting output all they want, that should be fine. But people just need to use common sense about what's acceptable and not. I agree with that. It's a pain b/c I have/had to cross over here to read ECM PBP since the PA forum doesn't have anyone for that, and I can't tell you how many times I saw "Hour X blah blah blah this is going to be way better!!!!" then "Hour Y blah blah blah no it's way worse".

MJO812 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 If you don't like the pbp, just skip over it. It's that simple. I know my posts don't mean **** at all but I gave it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rib Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 There are more posters that post in this sub forum than in that sub forum http://weather.about.com/od/weatherfaqs/f/meteorologist.htm I think that helped us this Winter but of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRRTA22 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Forky can post here however he likes as long as he doesn't violate any board rules. There's no requirement that he "teach people". Agreed. He's not obliged to do anything and I certainly don't expect anything. On the other hand, I lurk ALOT and I appreciate yank's posts also. Not everyone is perfect and I can't quite understand from my POV what this argument for the past week is about. If you guys don't like each-others posts, just simply ignore and move on. Forky brings dark humor and I dont mind it one bit. Come on guys, spread the wubs and stop the bickering :wub: as you can tell by my name, Im not one that likes to see people argue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we will become harsher on bad pbp. It's not a matter of skipping over because entire pages become bad analysis. It's really a problem. One that I hope can be solved.

It's really a problem. One that I hope can be solved.Pretty much when giving PbP of the ECMWF state what the model says at a given hour and thats it. No "going to be HECS" or "this is flat as a pancake move on" posts.

Rib Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 how many of those low post posters have multiple screen names ? Banned posters coming back under new screen names is a problem.

SRRTA22 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 how many of those low post posters have multiple screen names ? Good point. I was getting a hunch that people were creating multiple names to troll. We lasted a long time without the troll invasion of the internet, but I guess no one is safe from the big bad troll lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I agree. See, already making progress. It would clean up the threads ALOT. If you add something to it, must be constructive and not weenie-ish. Goal is to keep it as professional as possible but some humor could be allowed just not excessive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal is to keep it as professional as possible but some humor could be allowed just not excessive Humor is okay in small doses but it doesn't take much from a thread talking about the 0z ECMWF to a thread with pages of weenie jokes or some other type of "humor."

Sickman Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think you should And mine wasn't? I could have found a naked one of her but then that wouldn't be acceptable. You really think that was appropriate to post on the wx-side? That wouldn't even be appropriate in OT, let alone in a forum that's guest-viewable. You should be thankful I caught it right after you posted it, and before it got reported, and you didn't get warned and suspended. You, and a few others, need to think a little bit more about what you post. Not just pictures, but in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rib Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sickman has a point. I think people need to ask themselves, especially in storm threads, "how will this post add to the discussion?" If it's nothing, maybe you should post it in the banter thread although I think one of the main problems is some people think their posts are actually adding to the discussion when they are actually making it worse.

Yep. A couple of weeks ago I made a comment about having to start a new thread on a (non)event that was still 5 days out. The mere fact that we got to 1,000 posts that quickly should have tripped off huge alarms for a lot of people here. Too much fluff, not enough substance.

Doesn't psuhoffman or someone have early Euro access? I thought that was the case. Mostly you're probably looking out for times we're all upset at the Euro output anyway.
