Yes it is OK to take off car parts and a dealer like Randy can post his cars for sale. Now, as HSURB recommended, to your corner.

I've been in the corner.

Posting pics with girls - I just posted this in Co-Pilots thread but I think it important to revisit it here as a suggestion since I have been through this recently in one of our local clubs

We recently had this come up in one of our local clubs. There was one girl in the club that was offended by pics with cars and girls. The board members tried to press this issue through establishing very conservative rules that did not allow any posting of pics with girls. This created a huge backlash from the membership as 99% of them are guys and the fact that girls and cars have gone hand in hand since way back. I mean you go to a SEMA show and there are girls all around at the vendors booths, the are are NOPI events, etc...

Ultimately the happy compromise that was agreed upon was to have an area on the site that was PG13 to allow people to post and view these types of pictures. That way anyone that could be offended by it knows ahead of time what the content is and can opt not to view that thread or forum.

I think this solution allows freedom and choice as well as letting people police themselves. I would suggest site owners consider this for this forum as well.

Posting of Advertisements - Make no bones about it. This is a for profit site - and I do not have an issue with it. However, one of the main reasons that this site was created was due to the "censorship" that was happening on TS. I think it is kind of ironic that if you read through the new rules and the rules on TS site they are very similar. I am not saying they are copied. Only that when you run a For Profit site, there are certain things you must do to protect your business. I only ask that the owners beware of what they impose, let they risk falling into the same pitfalls as TS. I love this site and spend more time here than on TS, and the primary reason is because there is no heavy hammer hanging over your head when you post stuff up. Hopefully that will not change...

Advertising Services and Solicitation - Once again, I understand the need to do this as a for profit site, but one of the great things about these forums is finding out information about products that are available and where to get it at the cheapest price. That may not be in the forum store. The whole Trufiber hood fiasco on TS comes to mind here...

I would also like to point out that the freedom to put something together like we did for LSR could now be in direct violation of this section of the new rules.

Those are my comments. Once again, I am not intending to create waves here. Hopefully throwing out some food for thought. IMO this site is just feeling the growing pains as it matures.

PS - Honestly I don't think I can post this without being a paid member so I will do that today. This site has been a great forum so it is time to give back. Keep up the good work guys!

All of this crap because of one girl...

If love girls as much as much as the next guy but one of my favorite places to be on a Sunny Sunday is at my Private Golf Club that is Men Only, like Augusta.

It is important to remember that Clubs that are private and can set their own rules and if one does not like those rules they need not visit.

I agree with the rules, and will abide, but I to came here to rid myself of the hammer of idiots over at TS. I like the open forum, the vocal group, the PG13 language and the occasional chick pictures. I think so long as the language is in jest, and the pictures are not X rated, we are all adults here. If you see something that offends, leave that posting and go to the next. Sort of like cable TV, lots of channels, some worth watching, some not. If we succumb to hoping to never offend anyone, good luck. Best to post a warning that this is indeed an "ADULT" forum/site, therefore the occasional swear word, or sexually charged thread, or picture may be posted. If you are offended by that type of posting, be warned and cautious of where you surf within the forum. I also agree that maybe we have a PG13, PG18 section and limit our off handed posts in those areas only, so as not to subject the general population of posters to it, and if you choose to, you can enter that section.

Bottom line, I am an adult, and I find much humor in the off handed postings and the content.
