Handling of the over-eager storm wishers

[Stratusxpeye]

I truely did not attend this to be mean...But I have seen alot of newbies and others getting bashed over things that are really no big deal...

Not mean. Thats the reason for the laughing faces Just funny thats all. I think this thread has obtained more posts than if somebody posted a thread with Breaking News : Hurricane alberto Just something to take up the time. Made my day at work though I dont have any harsh feelings. I have wishcast in the past or had wishful thoughs about a storm just like we all have at one point.

C'mon, let's not rag. Y'all should show a little empathy, that post was 2004 -- pre-Katrina. I don't know how many of you know where dhweather's hometown of Diamondhead, MS is, but it's about as close to Katrina's final landfall ground zero as it gets.

I know this and it was just to show he's been there before him self...Hey I live in florida I've been though the hell too...

I know people are senistive about storms especially the Gulf coast area and South Florida. I work for Home Depot and I personally volunteered to go to Mississippi,but they only alotted a certain amount of people to go. People should be able to speak their minds(America=free speech),but if your going to wishcast be sensitive to the people that lost everything and think if it were you before you just post without thinking.

It's all good, I know I had different feelings pre Ivan and feelings change after a major event happens to you.

This is not necessary. A person has the right to do as they please. Who cares if they're -removed-?

You obviously don't get "it"......

Scorpion get a grip.

I agree with dhweather

nobody should EVER have to experience the aftermath of ANY real hurricane.

All of those -removed- should be sentenced to having to go through real cat 5 conditions for 24 hours, and then deal with the aftermath

I don't think this extreme measure is necessary. If it's enforced, the moderators will be overwhelmed this year on top of their usual duties(which is already a lot).

What? Now they're getting an all-expense paid trip to the beach?

Yeah, that'll encourage folks not to wishcast.

Hey DH, I feel your pain and concern. IT was only as of 2 days ago I could again drive to work without a lengthy delay on US 98 between Destin and Fort Walton...and this was all due to Ivan and Dennis DESTROYING the road. Unfortunately -removed- will always continue until the individuals doing the -removed- are directly affected by the wrath of one of these storms. Then and only then might their perception of the "coolness" of hurricanes change!!

[feederband]

Still say we are going over board on this issue...No wishcast will ever effect a track...I'm just worried some newbie is in the cone of doom 3 days out and might think the storm is going to hit his area even though it is projected to turn 1 day out might get bashed as a wish*aster I've seen this the last 2 years...

Were still editing wishcast or did it just start up again?

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

that is not nesessay

I agree. It is not necessary. We should try to preserve free speech here.

Now if someone was taking glee in the damage a storm caused, than that is a different story

[O Town]

So busted.

[Brent]

I agree. There's a difference between being excited that the season is starting and actually being happy that a storm has destroyed something. If you implement what dhweather is suggesting, you'd have to get a whole new set of moderators just for that.
