Administrative Reminders

It is at times like these as a system approaches the coast that the site can get quite busy. There are ways that you can help to prevent bandwidth overload and administrative actions - simply follow the site rules.

There have been way too many one-line posts and this creates a bandwidth problem. CFHC is a Forum-oriented site; it is not a chat room. One line posts seldom offer any useful information, so please make an effort to limit them. A radar cell top at 17K is not useful info - most hurricanes have cell tops at or above 50kft. Two or three frames of storm movement mean nothing - hurricanes wobble along their track. Hurricanes go through eyewall replacement cycles, so one eyewall weakens and a new one forms - perfectly normal.

Put your post in the proper Forum. If you do not, we will move it if we have time, or delete it if we do not have time. If you ask a question about the storm, there is a Forum for that. If you have a storm report, there is a Forum for that. Please use them.

Personal attacks are simply not tolerated, and since the site is getting busy and emotions are getting out of hand, I'm implementing a 'zero tolerance' approach. If you attack someone else, even just once, you'll be placed on probation for 24 hours. You can certainly question the rationale behind someone else's post, but you cannot belittle or otherwise attack the poster.

If you have a question or comment for a particular individual, please use the PM capability rather than a post.

Thanks for your help.
ED
