That seems like judging CMWRO to me. I was told S2K also did this when it fist started out. I dont want to argue but as a member of CMWRO I just felt I needed to defend the site. I would not be a member of the site if it did do anything like this. At one time months ago there was some of this going on and it was put to a end because of a few people including myself being unhappy with it. Now we just invite friends and that is it.
Have a nice day my friends.
Storm2k grew by word of mouth, search engines, etc. It was slow going at first. We didn't mass PM spam other weather boards. We've worked hard to grow a reputable site where people can post comfortably in a friendly atmosphere. Reputation has earned Storm2k a prominent place in the internet weather world come Hurricane Season.
The owners here should be very proud to have built something worthwhile, without trying to tear down someone else's work. I'm proud to be a part of it.
The issue is people using S2K to advertise and solicit members for another board. AEPP knew that sending mass unsolicited PM's was considered SPAM and was against the rules. He chose to disregard the rules of the board and paid the price. If someone isn't happy posting here then I recommend they go find a place where they are. The most important thing is that they get the information they need when they need it.
