SN rolls out a Ranking system

[Tyler Allison]

If you want to take away my reporting privileges fine, but you are taking away the easiest way of reporting severe weather

Note you said "severe weather". We re-enable reporting privileges all the time for folks that submit quality, but sub-severe reports. "mistakes" happen and folks forget the "rules". Sounds like you are in this boat. Drop me an email offline and we can get your account re-enabled. [email protected]

reports that I submit in order to help the NWS and the communities being affected, not some stupid ranking or to impress people;

Exactly as you should! Assuming you follow the reporting criteria we have outlined for using our system you are just the person we want. Notice how most of the folks associated with big egos in the severe weather community don't use the SN. Have to wonder about that huh? Might have something to do with not allowing them "special" privileges. Everyone gets treated the same...and I mean everyone.

If the info about sub-severe winds isn't what SN is for, I won't report it. BTW, where does it say what is and is not acceptable to report? I'm looking for it right now on the site, and maybe I'm just missing it, but right now I don't see the list.

It's in our training module. But you are correct, it's not listed on the main website in an obvious location. An oversight I will correct.

Thanks!

I have 1 perfect report and 9 acceptable reports. That doesn't also qualify as 10 acceptable reports?

eww...great question. For statistical purposes no. They are counted separately.
