New Mod here. I'm looking for some community insight for the future of the sub.
Hello stormchasing,
Long time lurker first time poster here. I've commented a few times around here but haven't posted before. I was growing frustrated with the frequency of low effort, off topic, spam posts so I messaged the mods a few times offering to help, but got no response. I decided the best course of action for the sub was to head on over to redditrequest where I was granted moderator status. I plan to write up some basic rules and start directing people towards proper subs for their posts. I want to keep this place focused on actual storm chasing instead of all the spam we get that doesn't involve getting out and chasing storms.
This includes simply posting a screen shot of radar without a real question or description. Posting cardboard intercept concepts, or crayon drawing of the same. "Will xyz get a tornado today", "is this (insert cloud here) a tornado" etc.
From my initial look around this place we have two very inactive moderators and another that has had recent activity, but also moderates some other much larger subs so I completely understand why this one would see less attention. I'm very active on reddit and browse around my typical stomping grounds multiple times a day. So I plan to be around here keeping the mod que short and keeping the sub on topic.
I would also like to hear opinions on what users around here would like to see and/or like to see gone away with.
