Severe WX Severe Weather Threat June 19-29

RELATED STRONG
BUOYANCY (3000-4000 J/KG MLCAPE) AND INCREASINGLY LARGE
CLOCKWISE-CURVED HODOGRAPHS (200-300 M2/S2 EFFECTIVE SRH) NEAR THE
BOUNDARY WILL SUPPORT A LOCALLY FAVORABLE CORRIDOR FOR A FEW
SUPERCELL TORNADOES (SOME OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG).
 
Ignoring isn't a great feature when the person you're trying to ignore creates severe weather threads and then extends them for 10 days so he can remain the center of the website for as long as possible. I've missed several days of activity on this site now because I didn't realize he kept extending this thread. I just thought the site was dead. Out of 29 pages TEN of them are him and they're ALL Twitter posts. That's right. In a thread covering a span of 10 days he's posted TWO HUNDRED F****NG TWEETS. And in order to keep up with and participate on this site you have to put up with those 20 notifications a day, or you'll lose track of which threads are currently active. Please. Mods, I'm begging you. Moderate this crap.

I already feel bad about this outburst because idk what the solution is.

Personally, I'm leaning towards banning tweets. There's definitely some great content we'll miss out on by doing it, but there's a few users who are completely ruining it for everyone else. Sacrificing a few, scattered high-value tweets to stop the mountains of slop might be worth it?

Perhaps, if I may, provide a more median solution. I think it’s been said on this site before, but we could have a general social media post dumping ground thread. That way the main thread can be saved for in depth discussion, while people like myself who don’t wanna make accounts and wade through the mush on twitter can still see relevant things. Its not perfect, but its another solution to consider

This outburst is probably best reserved for DMs. While you acknowledge the language is a bit tense, i do agree. It seems like every time we have this conversation, this X stuff gradually begins all over again with the same tweets. I do agree at some point we need some sort of Twitter dumping thread because engaging in discussions is becoming rarer on this forum
 
We've had this conversation five times or so this year. And it's came down to either keep it strictly to genuine meteorologists or good posts but to me, nearly every single thread is becoming infatuated and molded into a X dumping ground. This is a forum for discussion, to echo other's thoughts is fine, just don't overdo it. But it seems we've done that anyway. Low effort content is overriding any genuine, thoughtful high effort content that gets some consideration.

I think there needs to be a rule about embed posts. It's getting out of hand.

You can have all the fuel you want, but wit no good forcing mechanism or something holding it back, convection will not develop. That's what happening at the 700mb level. Too warm for convection to root currently in that parameter space. Not sure SPC should've upgraded.

Now, initiation has took place but will these cells manage to mature and root like I've said. Thermodynamics will make it tough but we will see.
