Just a reminder that this is NOT an open site, it is a moderated site. Various levels of control can be applied in order to maintain the quality of the material that is posted on the site. The Rules of Engagement are quite simple:

1. No posts are allowed that represent an attack against another poster or against the site itself. You can certainly disagree with another individual's opinion (we do it all the time), but you cannot slander the individual.

2. Crude and offensive language is not permitted...period. In other words if you disagree with someone, be civil about it.

3. Post your material in the proper Forum. If you are unsure where to place your post, if its Weather related, the Main News Page is probably okay. If its not, don't put it there - it probably belongs in the Everything and Nothing Forum. As an example, sports related comments do not belong on the Main Page or in the Storm Forum.

Thats really it - nothing too complex to understand. Every year sooner or later the site will go into a restricted posting mode and Unregistered Users will not be allowed to Post - which is at least one good reason for becoming a Registered User (there are others, including the Private Message capability). When you register, you do not need to fill in the entire Registration Form if you do not wish to do so, however, an email address and a User Name of your selection are required. Try to keep these three basic rules in mind as we head into another enjoyable season of storm analysis and tracking.
Thanks,
