Love them, hate them? Or would you rather just be on topic about hurricanes.
Let me know how you feel about the stricter moderation here. Know that I don't like to do it, and know I don't like the board being cluttered with junk to make it too difficult to read.
Everyone is welcome to post, but please think about what you put going on. We're very leniant. In fact too leniant in many cases and when storms approach people get... hurricane edgy. Which totally gets off the point of the site. That's why we're cleaning it up, and why we created the Forecast lounge.
We want to know what you think, but we're trying to keep it organized.

I'd like to see moderators editing posts come to an end.
I'd much rather have my posts deleted to or responded to than have what I said changed to what a moderator wants it to say.

Hi Ed -- moderators only edit posts in the following cases...
1) When a one-line reply is sufficient to answer a poster's question. This is in following with the overall board rules discouraging one-line replies and helps reduce clutter amongst the board, plus gets the answers to people faster.
2) When there is meaningful content in the post worth keeping, but also some content that goes against the board rules. Mostly, this gets deleted as well, but there are instances where it is not.
3) To clean up excess information, like someone posting the entire TWD or an advisory from a storm. These are available on the front page and from numerous other websites and not needed...but there's no need to just delete the posts.
Anything bad/banned gets deleted.
Edit: just for clarity, I meant this as more of a "this is what I've seen" as opposed to a "this is our standard operating practice" type of post. Sorry for any confusion!
Just my thoughts on the matter...

I'd prefer mods to send PMs about why something was acted on rather than editing it into the post, myself. But it's really up to them, it's all judgement calls for the most part. Sometimes the edits make sense.
