Thank you Cochese.

Look guys, the rules are there and have always been. Dont act all surprised, it just makes you look even more guilty of not reading the rules.

I browse this site daily "at work" I have plenty of time at lunch and breaks to do this. You wanna see chicks at a car show, there are plenty of other forums you can go to see that kinda shit.

I am a car enthusiast, those who know me would agree. I goto car shows all the time and believe me Im not going there to look at the girls.

Don't post tasteless crap on a car forum, it's quite simple.

I understand you went to a car show and a beautiful model is posing with a nice car..as long as it is tasteful and not erotic...you'll be fine.

And censorship of language is totally another thing. If that will ever be enforced, I'll end my 6 years commitment to this site.

Being a member here doesn't give you the right to free speech and if you do feel they are censoring you...you can walk. Noone is holding you back.

But I'm sure you'll agree that certain type of language doesn't belong here.

If a mechanic f*cked something up.. he f*cked something up... Geez...

Have you been to a shop lately? I'm there everyday after work.. We don't hold hands and sing kumbaya.. Get a bud..and start dismantling something.

I say it's fine to use any language when you are describing something... as an adjective.. I'm all for it... But if you search any of my posts/threads I don't practice vulgarity very often. I'm quite calm and noble. So please don't tell me to take a hike.. Thank you.

People at Ramblings..no offense..their contribution to this site is limited, they are supplying entertainment. I think in 3G we are smart enough to know the difference. But I've escaped the 2G forum as it was deteriorating quite rapidly by the youth. Hoping same faith won't linger here.

well if does go downhill.. maybe we can go back to the 2G section.. the members will be older and hopefully more mature by then.. .. just a pun.

and as far as ramblings go.. you're 100% right.. lotsa red ink and butane over there.

^^LOL. I wasn't aware that I was telling you to take a hike. I was telling everyone in general that free speech doesn't exist, not directing that at you.

But I did direct to you the comment regarding certain language not belonging.

But I love it.. I've started being quite active in Ramblings.. it keeps me sane at work.... Some people take 1 hour lunch breaks.. I eat at my office..and I'm chewing and browsing.. it's all good

Do I like porn..sure... Do I like to see it on this site.. hell no.. I can't even say how many times I had to shut my monitor off fast as someone walked in... I have 3 LCDs connected..so rambling only opens on the furthest one from all..just in case. So I like the idea of enforcing NWSF. I'll miss the Funny Picture Thread

Quick question: what are the rules/policies about such "bad" content in user's avatars?

I know of at least one other forum where they don't tolerate "bad" content but users have avatars that should be considered NSFW. (I think I might have seen a couple here, as well). If they don't apply already, I think the rules should be extended to avatars as well

They are extended to avatars...

Proves a point that no one bothers to read the rules or the 3G garage.

Avatars

Avatars that fall into the following categories will be prohibited.


* Containing nudity (Full or partial) and/or acts of a sexual nature.
* Figures in a sexually suggestive position or movement (Clothed or not).
* Imagery showing private parts through clothing (Wet T-Shirts, etc).
* Imagery depicting or suggestive of drugs and/or narcotics.

I can assure this will not happen. You aint goin anywhere

We only censor it in thread titles. I cuss like a fuckin sailor. But again, its not every word I type either. If used correctly I dont think it draws any attention.

If you require further clarification regarding language, look at the rules! Again, we do not censor language but if you attack another member with foul language, your taking a vacation.

i understand, as i dont go to car shows for the women either, nor do i come here hoping to see some fine women. However, sometimes theres a dead sexy car and the only frame you got of it, there happens to be one of those girls in it.

The reason I like Acurazine so much is because of all the "policing" the mods do. They do a great job to keep the content on topic, mature, and full of as much useful information for your car as possible. Keep it up!

Moderators and fellow members, Please accept my apologies for those pics. I have honestly not heard of this rule, or I would have definitely searched it prior to posting to ensure I won't break any rules. I admittedly also have not read the forum rules entirely.

I am very sorry if my pictures offended anyone

What about edited versions of those types of pictures? If its blocked out, I don't see any harm in it....

edit: I also didn't even know about the Ramblings section Now ever more of my time will be wasted !

We need to stop these "what if" questions.. if it's suggestive then it's inappropriate. Read the rules.. don't try skirt the line.. and do yourself a favor.. just forget about anyone mentioning the Ramblings Section.. lol.

A suggestion: Perhaps make a 3G Garage section where you click "Photo Gallery...Tech and Bluetooth etc..." I know I had to devote SOME TIME just to find out where this fabled "Garage" was

I was active over there until recently...great place, very entertaining. Just haven't had the time to browse that along with everything else lately.

I have to call BS on this, or at least BS on it being enforced. I see plenty of people with scantilly clad women in their avatars...one guy has a Honda man a Nissan man. Maybe that's changed recently, but they were there in the last few months. It doesn't bother me, but if those are the rules, and we're enforcing one part of the rules (pics), we need to be enforcing the other rules, as well.
