The rules will remain as written, and most of us will disagree with your entire post, so I'll explain why:
The
StangNet Terms of Service are written the way they are for a reason. The no street racing threads policy is in place because, as a family site, we are dedicated to a friendly, welcoming environment. If you want to talk about your street racing adventures, have at it, but I assure you the threads will be locked or deleted and infractions may be issued at the moderator's discretion. Street racing is illegal, and often causes severe injury or death to innocent bystanders.
We want no part of either promoting street racing, or justifying someone's illegal activity. Your example of a harmless stoplight-to-stoplight blast is more often than not the same scenario that plays out in Anytown, USA where someone's mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, uncle, etc. are severely injured, disabled, or killed when someone loses control and runs them over, broadsides their car, runs off the road into a group of pedestrians waiting to use the crosswalk, and so on. We simply do not condone illegal activity and aren't sympathetic to those who partake in illegal street racing activities. That has something to do with every member who themselves, or their loved ones could become a victim of the senselessness of street racing. That is why the rule exists, will remain in place, and why we will not budge from our position regarding it.
On your issue regarding "power trip mods," you can always PM any of the moderators or administrators of the site if you feel you're being mistreated by a member or staff member on this site. The option also exists at the bottom of the page to
Contact Us to send an email message to the SN Administrators. We also have a
Feedback Area | Testing Zone where you can make suggestions on what you feel would make StangNet a better place for all of us. Not all suggestions are viable, however anything which is reasonable may be considered. The SN Staff has its own forum where we discuss site related issues, so if you have any suggestions, please post them in the appropriate forum for us to view and consider.
I hope this clears things up, and I don't appear to be too much of a "power trip mod" for you!
