The last few weeks have gotten a little crazy, while the arguing, name calling etc is good for traffic, IMO it cheapens the site and tarnishes our class. I don't say that people should not be called out,or people shouldn't be accountable. What I am saying is that we need to stay above about a 5th grade level, which we haven't done in the last few weeks on several occasions. I have no interest in banning anyone from the site, maybe a few weeks vacation here and there, but I don't want to to do that either. I truly enjoy everyone here, even Dewhurst Everyone's opinion should be heard.


None of the following will be tolerated from here forward.

No posts will be permitted that are insulting to anyone's religion, race, heritage or political views. This is a racing forum. Anything that hits on these subjects in a way that can remotely be taken as an attack or insult will be deleted. If anyone persists, they will get a vacation.

The videos have gone wild.. A video here and there, relevant in a thread is fine. But videos in signatures or constant wasting of band width of non related videos will be deleted. Please remove any video signatures. If you want to post videos, go in the video section or Charbonneaus corner. The video feature was originally for racing videos, not what it has become. While some are funny, they are annoying lots of people.

Explicit language will be edited or deleted, you can disagree all you like, call out anyone you like, but use your intelligence and try to do so with facts presented at or above a 6th grade level ( Sorry Andrew)

If anyone decides to come on for no other reason than to bash SM or particular Mazdaracers members, meaning their only two or three posts are flaming a member or the class, they will be put on a two week vacation immediately.

I want to make it clear, I DO NOT want to moderate any of you or this site, but please don't abuse it and keep this a productive, friendly place that we all enjoy coming to. I am a ball buster, love ball busting etc. I have no problem with it. Just keep it above board and avoid personal attacks. Feel free to call people out, just watch the content and language.

OK back to your originally scheduled programming.

Thanks for your cooperation
Jim

that sucks ok im going to graduate to ten

[Andrew Charbonneau]

^{do we have a grandfather clause to vidios that have been seen before now i sound like a lawer}

[Mike Asselta]

Charbs - if anyone hits play on that video, you will be solely held responsible. That could cause permanent blindness, and fully explains your posts up until now.

[Andrew Charbonneau]

wahnted to see how fast you guys were going to be

[Andrew Charbonneau]

i need more ground rules like relavent behaivor

[Mike Asselta]

Edited: Post is now irrelevant

[Mike Asselta]

And do not say "sucks"

[Bench Racer]

Andrew you know were at the head of the class because of our profile names (Jim must have realized my previous profile name was over the top because he changed it to the curent name) & being named in Jim's post. Have you ever been on vacation. Kyle has closed some ground lately with his profile name, BUT Kyle received no mention in Jim's post.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Your buddy dstevens will help you out.

How many sponsors do we need to get spellcheck, Jim?

[Jim Drago]

How many sponsors do we need to get spellcheck, Jim?

We actually have it... Some just chose to ignore the red squiggles all over his screen

[Jim Boemler]

What a hoot -- our must juvenile poster asking for a "grandfather" clause!

(All in fun, Andrew, really)

Great line in the sand, Jim.

[Andrew Charbonneau]

[Andrew Charbonneau]

I should dredge up one of my sigs from the old site: "A word to the wise: coulrophobia"

[mdavis]

Ok,. Once the clown goes old school with "coulrophobia" then I can get on board with this whole deal! So now I'm fully expecting a thread about driving versus towing to the track!

[Rob Burgoon]

Thanks Jim.

Wow, good memory! There are still a few of us who enjoy old-school racing. Then again, I used to have a daily driver that was started with a hand crank.

[MPR22]

Honestly a bit disapointed. IMHO this site has been too tame for too long. The old site was non stop trash talk between drivers, between divisions, between moderators. Looking for animal house and we are in boarding school. I should be able to call a cheater a douche bag, that's what they are. I agree we shouldn't hit race religion ethnicity. Since I honestly don't understand half of what Von C says and I watch even less of his videos I'm not sure if he crossed the line. That's what the moderators are for, we haven't needed a moderator on this site in 2 years.

Von C you never know where the limits are until you go off the track.

Gary, I need lawyers from time to time, are you a good one? Hell I might even need a Porsche instructor someday if I ever graduate from these chick cars.

Drago, do what you need to do but keep the energy on this site flowing.

Danny, not all conflict is bad, great ideas can come from arguments.

Blake, fix your car and get your attitude back and go beat someone.

Clown and Stevens don't take yourselves so seriously.

Craig Berry, slow the f--ck down!

Finally Big Ern. Seriously get real, we are not stupid, riding dirty will only get you so far. Let Jr earn all those sponsors and paid rides. Do you really think the PRO teams won't be able to evaluate his true talent when they put him in a car for a test drive.

To my wife, yes I love this man drama. Since I don't have a race for 2 mths what else is there to do.
