Calm
« on: June 19, 2015, 03:48:10 AM »
Will someone explain to me where the word "Calm" comes from when I post to the forum? Right below "Duncan's Grove" it always says "Calm." Other posters have "Stormy" or something else. At first I thought this was picking up the general conditions of my station, but evidently not, since my Conditions now are "Overcast." Curious--can't find a setting to change for this and don't know what it means.

It has nothing to do with your local weather conditions, but that would be a good trick. It's a designation automatically assigned by the forum software based on how many times you have posted in the forum. It's a weather related classification system. You start out Calm, than graduate to Gentle Breeze, etc. Eventually, you can get to Blow Hard.

The previous sentence was a joke, but nonetheless a good idea.

I agree: Windbag is another great suggestion for a designation.

How about an arm patch to go with it?
