Last time I checked, Hurricane Sandy isn't inappropriate. Maybe they took it the wrong way?

Maybe natural disasters fall into the realm of general inappropriateness next to politics and the like?
*shrug*

I was only talking about the weather! Neopets even has a whole page about the weather!

I'll try to clarify: the problem isn't talking about weather, it's talking about real-life dangers or tragedies. Saying "it's raining outside today" wouldn't be against the rules; talking about RL natural disasters is where the problem comes in. It's the same reason you can't talk about cancer and the like--it's just too heavy for neo and outside the scope of it.
Sorry you got silenced, though! I'm guessing by the fact that you were silenced (rather than just warned or given a non-disciplinary heads-up) that this isn't the first misunderstanding, so I would suggest re-reading the T&C to try to get the gist of the rules. Getting frozen is no fun at all. =(

Getting frozen is no fun at all. =( That I can definitely agree with because not only are you potentially discussing death, but other possibilities associated with natural disasters such as displacement, diseases and famine that come after a natural disaster, etc. It's just too dark/ heavy for younger people that are on the site to comprehend what's going on. Older people, yes, you just have to remember that there are young ones. |

People died a week ago in Cuba from it. Even if there were no confirmed deaths, the fact that everyone was touting this as one of the top most dangerous storms of the past decade (long before it hit) is kiiiind of an indication it's going to be devastating a lot of people. |
