This is not an open forum, you can not talk about anything you want... There are mods & admin, they set the rules & decide what is Ok to talk about & what isnt.

We dont allow threads about drugs b/c they are illegal, street racing is illegal too but its ok to talk about?

I have kind of mixed feelings about this idea... As far as a way to stop flame wars, maybe, but there are premium members that do not agree with street racing so flaming will still happen...

also by making a seperate section in the dungeon for Street Racing, doesnt that give the impression that the Admin condones ILLEGAL street racing? What does that say about the kind of community we are?

Having an open section where ppl are free to post about all kinds of racing is one thing, but to say "Street Racing Stories go in here" Is kind of like saying "its ok if you do it, just dont talk about it in the general forum but we will hide it for you in this section"

If the admin does anything about street racing he either needs to leave the section as it is, and just not say anything about it.

OR Ban street racing talk.

Becuase to make a seperate "secret" area to post it is basically condoning it.

Now maybe another solution would be to move the entire war stories section to the dungeon, that way it doesnt appear to condone the action of street racing, but as a way to stop flaming in the section.

Just because something is allowed doesn't mean it's condoned.

It's sort of like MTV releasing jackass. Be entertained, but don't try this at home.

I personally think we can do without it, but I'm sure an overwhelming amount of members would like it to stay on the site in some form.

agreed But i think moving the whole section to the Dungeon is a good idea, it will cut down on trolls and alot of flame wars, not all of them but it would cut it down. Most of the war stories come from those who arent premium members anyway, so by moving it to the Dungeon would cut down on its posts considerably.
