Having a little fun tonight. Ran my sport against my friends 02 turbo maxima. I actually built the maximas turbo manifold and 3" turbo-back exhaust for him. Now he's faster than me.:hick:
Uh, no...
If you want to race on the street with traffic, fine. It's not going to be seen here, though.
(Actually, it's not fine)
Street racing is as wrong as xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott's choice of buttstuffogies.
Mod EDIT - Seriously? How old are you?
excessive moderation?
Pretty sure in the terms of use we all accept, there wasnt a clause on posting street racing... inform me if im wrong?
Dont get me wrong, im all about taking it to the track... but this bugs me.
There IS a reason that a certain section that contained content which was what I can assume was similar to what was deleted was deep sixed here. As someone who owns a car website; I can totally understand why this was done.
The video showed two cars racing down a public street. Traffic was coming the other way. It wasn't like they were out in the middle of nowhere just risking their own asses.
This wasn't some unplanned stoplight "race", it was premeditated and they STILL thought it was a good idea to do this on a public street, AND film it.
I also edited Scott D's post, because it was just plan uncalled for.
I've been keeping it low-key lately, but if I need to swing the mod bat around a bit, I will. Use some common sense, folks.
you are arguing what I agreed with, street racing isn't good and I do not condone it. Stoplight roll or premeditated.
However, editing the mans post was out of line as far as moderating goes. What are you protecting? Your opinion?
The race already took place, get over yourself.
How about you go back and read the rules of the forum...
FORUM RULES (http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?2-The-new-Fox-T-Bird-Cougar-Messageboard-Commandments.-PLEASE-READ&p=2#post2)
Specifically #2 and #4
and #7 if you have any other questions.
are we talking about the original post or the childish reply to it?
I'm talking about wiping the original post... what you did to the f-bomb post is WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO DO!
The original post.
I guess I could've just deleted the entire thing, and forgone all this mess.
We don't condone street racing here, period.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Wtf
Next time, just lock it Chuck
We have rules for a reason
I understand the rules on the profanity, yet have yet to hear a decent explanation on pulling the video?
I could care less about actually watching the video- I just want to know why you're censoring material that isn't violating the forum rules. That's all.
I gave you a decent explanation. We DO NOT condone street racing here. As V8Demon pointed out, at one time, there was a forum section "On The Street", which the admins have since removed due to the nature of it. Folks do it, but that doesn't mean we're going to stand behind it, and allow a venue for them to post about it.
That is all the reason I need to give.
Wow! Chuck, there for a minute I thought you were going to say "because I said so". Good job keeping us children in line.
What part of "We don't condone street racing" is hard to understand? Why do people insist on arguing about it?
As a mod, I chose to delete that content. If folks want to post up that kind of stupidity, they can do it on their Facebook page or whatever, but not here.
Looks like it's time to amend the rules again, just to make things clear, seeing as folks seem to think I'm just doing this to piss you guys off.
I meant that as a pat on the back Chuck.
Sorry. The "us" seemed to add a bit of sarcasm to it. ;)
The post still goes out to those who are choosing to argue the matter.
Such petty stuff! Put a big X over the post. No need to explain.
From the guy doing a burn out in a school zone. Seriously look closely at his sig..
lol j/k bud :)
thats a burn out?... I thought he blew a head gasket....lol
I was eating when I read that and also spit my food across the room... Lol
Moderators should not have to explain their actions.
I like how everyone shag partyed on me even after I said multiple times I dont condone it either. I missed the part where it said moderators may edit or delete at their discresion, that was mybad. It just blew my mind that a street race video was censored.
I'll go back to being a child I guess.
i applaud chuck for removing the video.. street racing is for (dare i say) idiots who don't take anyone's safety into consideration.. if you want to kill yourself by racing on the street, at least do it away from civilization so you're not hurting innocent bystanders.. saying i don't condone street racing is putting it lightly, very lightly.. an old buddy of mine (old as in i don't speak to said person anymore, because of his stupid actions) tried racing a fellow ricer on a desolate back road.. i reached over and turned his key back, killing the car.. i wasn't having my life put in jeopardy, just so 2 morons could go tearing down a pitch black road, to see who's fecal matter didn't stink..
again, i applaud chuck for removing the video.. if i was a mod, i'd have done the same thing.. now if the video ended with both drivers being arrested for street racing, i would have left it up.. that would have been sweet, sweet justice at work! i would have then changed the title to 'street racers get what they ask for' and locked it
Thread lockdown in Five! Four! Three! Two!............
Part of not condoning it is failing to partite in the activities.
Try justifying to a 4 y/o girl why her mom's been killed in a traffic accident while you're on the witness stand. Not trying to be a prick, just sharing how I look at it.
am i the only 1 that takes notice that this thread was started by bryan163, NOT poor blain? it surely seems like it.. lol
This needs to be locked me thinks
i agree.. especially since the wrong guy is being ganged up on for street racing.. lol
Wow, just logged on and saw that my video thread was 3 pages, then disappointed that none of it was about the video and everyone is arguing. Sorry if I violated any of the terms of use here. I wont be posting any more race videos unless they are at a track. I should also point out that we were in an industrial park that is deserted late at night and the only cars there were other racers. My Youtube name is bryanmurphy26 if anyone wants to actually discuss the video in a more suitable venue.
There no school there,it's in the middle of nowhere,the sign had RR tracks ahead.
We certainly aren't the only automotive forum to ban discussion on street racing.
