More reasons to be mad at the Spotter Network

[Martin North]

Looks like a good move Tyler. The wafflers may think again....

 

[Joe Hill]

I think it's a great move, Tyler. It'll make people think twice about filing a report under the anonymity umbrella. It will make for a better SN!

Callsign working on my end. I appear to be the only person using it at the moment.

The movement will gather...

The original comment I was making was they I didn't think it fair to loose the ability to track someone, a person or group of persons working with a well structured network. Most. if not all would not
submit a report via SN, but rather through one of the multiple systems we have in place.

Tim,

If you or your group want to use some of the SN's functionality, then take the test. If your group does not want to take the test, then don't do it and move along. It's as simple as that.

I don't understand why you are carrying on about this across multiple threads.

Tyler, it's a great move!

Keep up the great work. Spotter Network is getting better and better with each change...

Maybe the name of this thread lead to it maybe?
" More reasons to be mad at the Spotter Network"

Moving along is good if you do not wish to change something
or try too.

For me the issue is settled.

Always takes two to tango.

I support this change as well. Real names give some accountability.

My situation is worse than Zach or Zarchry in an earlier post. My FCC callsign is registered to my legal name, David. Rick comes from my middle name "Derrick" and I have gone by Rick my entire life. I imagine this is relatively common.

Everyone knows me as Rick and wouldn't have a clue who David is. This includes the NWS as well as my local EOC where I serve as ARES liaison. Since I am kind of an "old timer", I pretty much have to stick with my nickname.

Since the SN form rejected my callsign entry, I just put my call in the "Note" section. I hope that this is OK.

 

[Tyler Allison]

Rick. Change your name to David. Enter your callsign. Then switch it back to Rick. I'll add a feature request for aliases to my todo list. (like callsigns)

 

[Rick Wilson]

Thanks, Tyler. Will do.

EDIT - That worked like a champ. This is a good tip for those of us that have nicknames.
