Looking back through Page 1 of this thread - I can't seem to find a reason WHY the change was made? Even TimV said he didn't mind reports in MapRoom, so who does mind - and why?
I think you guys are overreacting just a bit. Just consider that a GREAT DEAL of discussion and consideration is going on among the mods and admin in a effort to make the best possible decision regarding these.
That said, no matter WHAT decision is made, there will be yet another thread of those that are unhappy with the decision.
As there is disagreement among the general members (even in this thread) as to the best possible way to handle this, so there is also disagreement among the mods/admin as well. On the surface, it may seem like an easy decision to come to if something needs to change and if so what, but in real application it's more complicated than that.
There will be no perfect solution for everyone, that much is assured. What is the best possible balance/handling of reports is what is being decided though.

I don't think we're overreacting, because of the quote above...that a deliberation is needed to decide this issue (that shouldn't even be an issue) is cause for alarm IMO. We shouldn't even be having this conversation.
It's not cause for alarm Shane. Deliberation on any changes in any medium that affects the majority of it's users is always prefered to making a half-hazard decision and then regretting it later.
and will check back tonight to see if anyone else feels as confused about this format as I do.
1. Went to Weather and Chasing to find reports.
2. Found Jay's first "Reports" thread for 3-4 I saw last night was mysteriously missing and a new one was started.
3. After a moment of mind confusion noticed that the first "Reports" thread slipped under while the main one now is growing, and wondering why these two threads have not been merged already. Granted in this format, reports threads will always seem to get buried in such a high traffic environment, so no wonder.

I moved Jay's REPORTS thread out of the Map Room and into W&C per the rules. His thread was not deleted (nor a new one started).
What will happen, if not already happening, is more and
more chasers will not post to the forum and will not even
bother looking at the forum. Just a opinion of mine.

Thats already happening.. I'm certainly no big deal myself.. but I've already found myself checking this forum less and less, because the quality just isnt there anymore.
