Quit your bitching, don't read the street racing stories. And the site doesn't promote it. Maybe you missed the disclaimer at the top that says to keep it at the track.
Isnt THIS the pot calling the kettle black.....

and what is this?

You voted "YES BAN THEM ALL" for politics... but then when it threatens your backyard you tell us not to read it? Move on and stop crying?

UNBELIEVABLE.

Why is unbelievable for a child to act this way? Children do all sorts of crazy things that make no sence to the rest of us.

i dont think it should be deleted, i mean were not encouraging anyone to street race, but if they do, theres nothing wrong with hearing about it.... just as long as it doesnt ecourages or tells them to race, its ok i think

oh and if someone doesnt like it,, well just dont visit that section

truth is that with or without "war stories" people are still gonna street race

Or....

Someone thinks,

"Wait til I tell CSS.NET about THIS street race. Ill be FAMOUS E-SUPERHERO-DRIVING-OMFGBBQWTF PWNZERS"

and hits some kid on a crosswalk. This holds more weight than politics and should be banned for "safety" reasons. I dunno if anyone has checked the age on this forum lately but its definitley not the 30-40 range as the mean.

^Yah maybe, like i said, if the opportunity appears most people will not back out of a race just because he has nowhere to write about it, even if we didnt have this section,, he/she might think "oh ill race and tell all my friends about it"... i dont streetrace myself... but the bottom line is those who do will do it reguardless if they have somewhere to speak about it... and if it does get deleted, they will probably just write about it in another section of the forum IMO

no, it's not. politics is unrelated to cobalts. street racing at least deals with cars. they are unrelated. you can read, but not for comprehension.

"Quit your bitching, don't read the street racing stories."

So if i used that line on you with politics it would be ok? Thats your only defense.

since people are gay enough to start censoring politics we might as well censor **** that kills people.

Where is the I don't know option?

While I regret creating that section when I started the site way back in 04, I am not going to jump the gun and kill it. It was never intended for street racing, nor do I support such activities. Anyone street racing is a fool and I hope the cops get them before they hurt anyone.

But about the section, note the description, I am pretty sure it’s directed towards track wins:
“Post your racing wins. CobaltSS.net does not support or encourage street racing. Be smart and take it to the track.”

Most of the stories in the section in question is pure BS and we keep it open to members only for that reason. I am willing to consider changes to the section if someone can make a good argument keeping both sides in mind. I am also willing to assign a moderator just to that section providing someone has the good argument I just mentioned.

Now another small point. Youtube and Streetfire are full of street racing crap and they don’t remove it to my knowledge.

Keep this thread clean or it will end here

if it was never your intent for members to post their deadly street races then why do you have a "drag racing" and "autocross" section? what type of racing is "war stories"? there is a very old thread in the admin/mod section where ryan and i volunteered to clean up any street racing threads if you ban it.

youtube and streetfire are not forums. they are vid hosting sites. even if they were, does it really matter? is that the type of site you want this place to be? i'm confused.

Why are you confused? I posted I am open to change ideas. Please don’t make this a conflict. If you have good change suggestions take some time to spell them out. I am not going to just clean it up when most members voted for the section to stay as it is.
