• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

How can we make Stormtrack better for 2011?

you are not the only one who noticed this, there have been lots of great discussions going on lately and until all that crap over the IEM came up, was a pretty drama free zone for awhile.
 
I forgot if it was suggested already, but both for newcomers and as a reminder for others, it might be a good idea to have a more narrative description of how the site works, what tends to be expected, points to the various rules and FAQ pages and even general forum etiquette.

Moderators and any staff member will always show and have some slant toward other members due to personal opinions. That's human and should be understood as the nature of the beast. As Tim V. has said, contact him to discuss, or if the moderator themselves has given their name. It is my personal opinion that if you can take (without much or any resentment) the nuances of various management faults and fairness, you'll probably be a better chaser (objective viewpoint). But that is just an opinion of mine.

Add (12/31/2010):
Yes, things have been rather nice the past few months, even the off season has been good. Even the latest bit has been rather tame overall.

I have had discussions with both Tim and the mods last night and today. I feel that my concerns were heard and understood, and there has been great strides just today to improve relationships between myself and the Stormtrack management. I also feel now that steps are being taken to improve conditions here on the Track. Thank you.
