• 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.

David Drummond is our first new moderator (actually an old one, as he headed up the duties over a year ago). We've closed that poll out as he won by a landslide.

However, we will take your recommendations for the second moderator. Bear in mind that this is not a direct vote. Myself and the existing moderators will probably go with someone else if we're looking for certain qualities, and certainly there will be some internal debate. We will also be considering everyone who volunteered, not just those who are in this poll. So the top candidate may or may not get elected!

With that in mind, we're still interested in what you think.

hmm

After some thought, I have cast my recommendedation for Scott Olson, albeit there were several good choices on the ballot.

FWIW, Reasons being: Scott is a dedicated chaser, and a very knowledgable candidate. He has been a frequent contributor to Stormtrack, and eager to help as well. Being temperate and balanced, I think he will be a fine candidate as a moderator.
 
I'm not REAL familiar with everyone on the list, so I just went back and looked at a lot of their posts over the past year or so. I think any of them would probably be good, but I voted for Scott Olson. He just seems very level headed and not subject to provoking any kind of controversy or flaming any fires. But...like I said, all candidates would be good.

I agree with, Steve.

This isn't a popularity contest, but I feel, in my short time here, that Scott has always been level headed with his remarks.

The ability to see all sides is one of the most important qualities to possess where a mod is concerned.

Just my two cents worth.
