I understand the desire to limit a lot of arcane and unnecessary one-liners that say nothing in an attempt to limit bandwidth during times of high usage. However, sometimes in one line or sentence very pertinent and often potentially important information or questions can be conveyed that don't *need* a lot of 'fluff' just to make multiple lines of text to satiate a moderators need to wield a big stick. By far and large the moderation is 'moderate' here but occasionally I do think some of the moderators forget the intent of the moderaters' hat and capricious knife wielding does occur. I really do think there should be many fewer topics, one main one dealing with the active storm and one or maybe a couple for everything else not directly dealing with the active topic which can be locked when it is no longer appropriate or needed. In general though, this is still the best place to come short of being a fly on the wall at the NHC during a storm.
