Lumpen Poison Fish. Poison Fish. TASTY FISH!!! Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 22y 2m 10d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 04/05/04 07:16 AM Share Posted 04/05/04 07:16 AM I think it's all about liability and all that. I also think that Dallas, as a MODERATOR appointed by the Forum, is well within his rights to ask politely to curb a particular notion in a thread. Particularily as I would hazard a guess that there is alot of discussion between Mods beore warnings etc are haded out.

andyturbo Member 500 Member For: 21y 2m 10d Gender: Male Posted 04/05/04 07:31 AM Share Posted 04/05/04 07:31 AM ok sorry guys I dind't mean it like that. I know street racing is bad and I know it could get this site in trouble if its organising illegal races..just what I meant was I dont think u should get to angry at the people how wanted to race, yes I agree it should have been discussed somwhere else, but if you have an xr6t then its most likely if u pull up next to another good car u will want to be the first one leaving the lights, as that's nataul for somone with an awesome car Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10447-is-the-t-boring/page/7/#findComment-118308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said. Also consider that this type of banter( and it is banter) can also create the wrong perception of the site as it is in the public domain. Last thing we want is to create the wrong public perception and attract undue attention from law enforcement whenever there is a cruise etc if we are viewed as a pack of drag racing louts rather than car enthusiasts. I am certainly not suggesting that anyone is breaking any laws , just expressing how people ouside the cosy four walls of this forum may see things.

As a small portion of their duties they will read internet forums, and I have seen some of the big operations they have run around Dandenong. Can be VERY high tech including use of digital radios (unheard of normally in Vic) to negate scanners, amongst other more secretive (wink wink, nudge nudge) measures. These ops are sometimes planned months in advance.They are kind of like a poor man's detective for traffic law, if you know what I mean.Anywhoo, the whole topic was meant to be light hearted I'm sure.

What was wrong with. "No probs mate." or "No worries that wasnt my intention, but thanks for the reminder." Why write the essay.
