Volvoson Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Time to lay down the law. For the most part, everyone has been pretty good about this forum. Hopefully, that will continue. Here are my rules. · Street racing. It is illegal on the street, it is illegal here. If you are cruising organized events, don't want to hear about it. I will allow the stoplight races like before, but if you are an idiot and do in traffic or with pedestrians around, I will close it.· Freeway racing. Another stupid thing, but if it is just you and some other idiot risking your lives, I will let it go.· If I don’t like the story for some reason, I close it. I will be fair about it and post the reason for the closure, but it should be obvious. You don’t like it, tough.Now for the good stuff. I would really like to see more posts about legitimate racing in here, drag races, autocross, track days, even drifting events for you RWD guys. Play nice and don't do anything stupid out there.I feel that not enough people have been reading the RULES around here, so let's refresh our memory.Please read the rules before posting in here, period. If we don't feel that your post is worthy, or unsafe, we WILL close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krepotkin Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 So "streetracing is illegal, therefore it is illegal here" yet you smack yourself in the face w/ a contridiction 12 words later. Wow what a joke. You're basically saying its ok to street race if you're only putting your life and the other driver's life at risk. This thread should be limited to off-road racing only. I think you need to rework the rules or something, but right now its just a huge cluster-monkey of contradiction and gray-areas...give em an inch, they're gonna take a mile. Unless you like closing thread after thread of people seeing how far they can push you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Unless you like closing thread after thread.I do! The reality is most of the members on this board are under 23 and have grown up thinking street racing is cool. They also can't justify spending to go race at a track or auto-cross when they can race on the street for free. They think they will never get caught at no one will get hurt. It is the optimism of youth. It only appears free to them because they don't see the real cost until they are busted by the police or people start dying. Only then do they figure out it is stupid. It is a lot like smoking. Everyone knows it is bad but that doesn't stop them from doing it.That said, if I truely closed all illegal activity in this forum, there would be almost no posts at all and we might as well just eliminate the forum altogether. I would prefer it to be totally legitimate racing, but until people start posting up real racing, its going to stay the way it is for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these damn kids can spend 1000 dollars on a downpipe, they can afford the 15 bucks to get into the dragstrip. But as long as you allow this gray area, they'll never race legitimately b/c they won't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I think we should start suspending anyone who has the word 'school' in their "racing" story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvoson Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Do what you have to do to keep people safe.Taking away the forum will not stop street racing, it just won't be talked about.Also, as it was said before, talking to mods like that will definately get you banned quickly. You are new around here, so learn how the system is before you start telling us how to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
