"performance videos", lets discuss Options

[presure2]

hey all,

we all know 6gc has a strict "NO street racing" policy, so that is not what i'd like to discuss here.
what i would like to discuss is the option of allowing "performance" videos.

for example:
speedo vids (as long as there not in heavy traffic, or racing)
flyby vids,
in car performance vids (again, as long as its not in heavy traffic or racing)
are all things i think we could allow, while still maintaining the no street racing policy.
i'd like to hear all of your thoughts on this, and just to be clear, again, this is not about allowing street racing on the site, we WILL not allow that.
lets keep this discussion on topic, and civil, please.

hmmmmmmm.


Sounds like a good way of encouraging inexperienced drivers to try to 'out-do' each other to me.

If it were me i'd keep it all legal. 0-60's and stuff, not top speeds.... People HAVE been convicted from forum vids...


Will be good to have something new on the site, as long as people are mature about it.




Plus videos of TT's must be allowed

i can see your point luke....i really dont wanna see if one of these kids can do 130 in theyre auto ST's
thats not what im looking to have people post.
im talking guys who wanna show how fast theyre cars accelerate, even if it happens to go over 100mph.
if it takes longer than a few seconds to get from 80 to 100, i dont wanna see it, pretty much. lmao
also, flying down the highway for kicks @ 100+ is not gonna fly here as well.
its a tough line to walk, i know, and there is definetly a "grey" area about it, where things will be borderline, and peoples opinions will be split, but hey, what isnt like that in life?

RJB, just shut up, you have no idea what your talking about.
you havent BEEN here long enough to talk about the "beginning"
there was a time on 6gc all the stuff ive talked about was allowed.
with the street racing rule, alot of this stuff has gone by the wayside, or has not been allowed.

i guess at the end of the day, it will have to be a mods discresion thing, pretty much.

and no, there wont be a new mod, just for vids, thats just silly.

and joe, the "one shot kill" method definetly will be part of this, anything we deem not site appropriate is.
again, liking the opinions here, people, keep them coming, along with the suggestions on the types of vids you think are good/bad.
i'd like to cover as many bases here as possible, so that we will have somthing to refrence back to if a problem comes up.

i would like to hear from more of you!

Of course this will be mods discretion, no questions about that. But my question is, would there be no videos of stock auto ST's trying to do a 0-100 run? Because that's gonna take forever and nobody is going to want to watch it. It will waste time. Like I said earlier, I think the allowed videos should be tasteful. If your car is capable of something, then post a video. But I won't be posting any vids of mt GT. I know it's not fast, and I don't want to waste everyone's time and have the entire 6GC community ripping on me for trying to do something stupid in a slow car. Presure, that quote sounds like you and I are thinking the exact same thing. So would videos of stock GT's or ST's be allowed if they aren't doing something impressive? I say leave worthless videos to Youtube and waste everyone's time there.
