Do any of you really think that the 'vs' section encourages street racing?
I really can't see why any sort of sensoring on IMOC would make our highways safer.
At the end of the day, if you don't like this section, don't read it!I accept moderators have a job to do, but over zealous sensorship?
I think you may have missed the point. The section title was changed from 'Vs' to Driving Experienes for the very reason of not encouraging people to post about street racing. Of course i do not think that reading a post will start somebody off street racing. The obvious issues are:
New users and those that browse the forums may not be left with a good impression of IMOC and may think that we condone illegal street racing. Obviously we do not condone it and neither do we as a club want to portray the image that this kind of behaviour is acceptable. Yes of course there will be those that haven't grown up yet and drive irresponsibly whether there is a 'Vs' section or not, but really we don't want this kind of thing on the IMOC forum as we are trying to promote a club that in our eyes is about and for MR2 fanatics that we hope are responsible and want to be taken seriously with their interest in the car.
I can see your point about giving the right impression to visitors and new members of the site Lauren. However I think IMOC/you may have missed the point in changing the sections name from 'vs' to 'driving experiences'.
The fact of the matter is that people will still post 'vs' stories involving high speeds on public roads.
I agree that the latter is a more appropriate tltle than the 'vs' one though.
If this section was moderated to only include trackday/drag 'vs' , then it may be more relevant, but I think you and the odd Pod phile may be the only ones posting here
