Thank you for locking my topic.
My job involves keeping people inline, and I understand why you have a rule such as the no street racing threads, but I'd like to point out that I was not actually racing the camaro. Both of us were in good humor, and it was more along the lines of 'two motorheads goofing off and having a good time in the country', it was NOT a fast and furious street race.... heck, I was never even next to the camaro.
Finally, I believe our country is great due to it's democracy.... how many people here actually AGREE with the street racing thread? I agree with it on some levels, but it does irk me that a topic like mine was locked.... are the rules just made up by a select few without regarding the voice of the masses? Or can members voice their opinions to get certain things changed? - Jim |

I guess my point is this: I'm not a stupid 'kid' out drag racing my SVX at stoplights against cars with cheesy taillights and unpainted bodykits... I was simply driving my car in a 'spirited' manner giving chase to an old camaro, who was also driving 'spiritedly', so I'm kinda miffed that it was locked.

Bottom line is this - if anyone wants to post streetracing threads they can point their browser to clubsi.com or idahostreetracing.com or send a pm to SubEd.
Boondock - we realize you aren't the typical streetracer guy. Sorry your post had to be locked. Rules are rules and this is Chris's sandbox that we are playing in. If you don't cover the sandbox at night the neighbor's cat will **** in it.

This issue has been discused many times before...we even had a whole thread on it and discussed the issue. I was for having street racing threads but rules are rules and i respect that.

Cumon, tell us what the little stars mean but agreed, If it was my sand box the rules might be different, but untill then Mr President makes the rules. The horible rules and moderators that will come to your door and beat you silley if you mess up are the main reason that this is the level headed forum it is.

1 - this forum is far from level headed, and now, to top it off, it's lost it's balls too.
2 - this topic has been discussed before and will be discussed for a long time to come until we no longer feel like we are talking to a brick wall. 3 - this is EXACTLY what the moderators assured me would not happen when I said "first it's no street racing threads, then it's no threads about driving fast in the vicinity of another car...and so on". Great job. |

Despite being created to serve the SVX community, this site is not a democracy. The rules are enforced according to the moderators' and admins' interpertation of them. Were this a democracry, you'd have checks and balances to make sure those interpretations didn't get out of control. Since this is not a democracy, you've just got us. Quote:
With as much as you complain about this site, its members, and the car it was created to discuss, I can't for the life of me figure out why you visit it so frequently.

For the umpteenth time, this site is not governed by the same type of system. As for how many people agree with the ban on street racing threads, I'll happily turn that around on you - how many people are complaining? A vocal minority, I'd argue.

One difference between this site and others - here the mods don't feel the need to join in on torturing the new (or dense) members, as entertaining as it can be.

Well, we have greenmarine to torture - we get our fill in from him alone.

On other difference...
On this site, we are allowed to discuss other cars as well. Want to see some nasty moderators/members? Head on over to scionlife.com. I attribute the hostility of the site to the fact that the average scion owner is probably about 24, wants to be a ricer but doesnt want to buy a honda, and most think that having 108hp is ok but any automatic car sucks

Yes, it was the complete ban of street racing that drove Aredubjay away from the site.
