Re: Posting Rules for News Talkbacks
|
Quote:
For the storm forum, there is a thread that describes the rules for what should and should not be posted in that forum. If I remember correctly from last year, there were also posting rules that govern the news talkbacks forum as well (I know this from frequently getting posts relocated from breaking the rules). Anyway, I would appreciate knowing what is and is not appropriate to post in the news forum, because it seems that many posts (perhaps mine included) are against what I would perceive the 'rules' to be.... Another suggestion... perhaps it would be useful to have a "Personal Conversation" board where people can talk about things that are not exactly related to meteorology.
there's only 2 hard and fast rules...no cussin' & no attackin'...other than that, it really depends upon what's goin' on...since it's slow, i've pretty much let everything go so far...we try NOT to let the board turn into a 'chat' room with one sentence answers between two posters...that's what the chat room is for...speaking of which, that is where you should go to discuss anything you want with others...either that or use the pm feature. we try not to let things get too "off topic" but sometimes a couple of posts (for example global warming) will be off topic...i understand this past saturday there was a bit of a problem with the main thread having a number of posts moved (i wasn't on line during arlene's landfall); the matter has been discussed and it shouldn't be a problem...
i hope this answers your questions, but feel free to PM me if i'm not clear or you have any other questions or concerns...
