I'm just wondering when WU is going to start blocking erroneous data and stop giving out Gold medals for wrong data!

Exactly what I'd like to see. I have a station a few miles from me that reports it's 34 degrees and it's 70 outside. I've reported the station several times but WU does nothing (as usual).
The Goldstars are a joke too - you get one little short interruption and it takes it away. That program needs a revamp most certainly.
And with everything else, I mean
seriously, this is
ridiculous how bad it's gotten.
Basic stuff doesn't work, reporting bad stations is a black hole, support is practically non-existent unless you need help doing idiot-level things, FTP doesn't work right 3/4 of the time...I mean, good Lord...the list goes on and on...and you got only two guys using chewing gum and duct tape to keep things together on a major site. WTF?!!?
WU is extremely ripe for a new competitor to take a huge bite out of it. Someone with some ingenuity, financial backing and marketing could blow them out of the water within a year or two. Get with the station and device makers with an easy to use, royalty free API to send data and backed by a excellent website and your probably set for $$$...
Now that I'm done complaining, at least the FTP seems semi-stable this week...had less errors than usual, still a long way to go though.
