- Be kind and respectful. Some of us do respond in what may seem in a straightforward and terse manner (it is hard to read emotion in posts and comments), so don’t take it personally. Don’t bully others, and check your ego at the door. Don’t block the admins for any reason, either.
- Be sure to check the Featured Posts in the group, for announcements on the forums, and to familiarize yourself with the FAQ on the website.
- Keep any discussion to Gibson Ridge software, or any general weather or historical topic. For other weather software, please go elsewhere.
- When seeking support, make sure you include which software you’re using (GR3, GR2Analyst, GREarth, GRModel) and current software version. Some of your problems may easily be solved by updating your software.
- When sharing images and video, please provide context (a description). Don’t share watches and warnings for the sake of sharing watches and warnings. We get them too.
- No discussion of, or sharing license keys, codes, subscriptions, or pirated software. Such activity will be reported, and an immediate ban will be issued.
- All placefiles, shapefiles, color tables, etc., should be uploaded to the Goodies section of our companion website and should not have any work that is copyrighted by others. If it does, permission must be clearly given.
- Unless otherwise requested in specific posts, do not tag group admins for software support. We are fellow users and group facilitators, not experts.
- Group admins and moderators have full discretion on how to enforce the rules of the group or have unwritten/temporary rules, and some of those decisions may not be popular, but rather the correct decision at that moment.
