I am not going to sit here and articulate what happened back at the G8X’s inception. If you can’t understand the difference between a casual comment that might ruffle a feather and an incessant, tiresome influx of comments solely intended to disrupt the natural flow of conversation, I’m not going to waste my energy trying to convey it to you. Lastly, yes, moderators and admin staff make the decision(s). After all, they are tasked with policing the forum and making the environment enjoyable for everybody. If this forum is run anything like the forums I moderate, there’s a section where moderators and admin staff get together and discuss issues. During those discussions an approach is agreed upon and implemented. This isn’t rocket science. P.S. Regarding your comment about “small groups of people rendering decisions based on their opinions at the moment,” that sounds a lot like how our court systems run in this country (…e.g., lower courts, the USSC, etc.). An opinion today could, and often is, ruled invalid at a later time. |

Some CSL grilles with hexagon shapes look pretty interesting. One thing I never understood - arent people afraid of rock chips? I actually installed a mesh behind grilles on my car because of all the rockchip damage to radiators at the track risk. Here it is wide open.

Strong, vulgar, obscene or otherwise harmful language, Racially, ethnically or otherwise, objectionable language, Harassing, intimidating, stalking or threatening other community members, Libelous, defamatory or otherwise tortious language What’s strong or harmful language? Calling a car ugly? Or a piece of crap? Or calling the owner an idiot for buying such a car? In all the posts I’ve read in this forum none have risen to the level contained in these terms and conditions. Childish, crude and filled with profanity? Sure, but that shouldn’t be reason to ban anyone, even if they do it over and over again. Especially if it’s about how a car looks. The moderators aren’t Judges and their work definitely doesn’t rise to that level. As I said above, private entities can put rules in place for behavior but that still doesn’t mean we all check our freedoms at the door of a forum. What happened with the G8x debates did not violate the terms and conditions. All it was, was a bunch of people who couldn’t handle other people calling their car ugly. Say all you want but comments solely intended to disrupt the natural flow of conversation are not banned in the terms and conditions. |

I’ll say it again since you don’t seem to understand the context and concept of free speech: being on this forum is not a right……it is a privilege. It is privately owned and operated; it is not a government entity. At any time and for any reason (…or for no reason at all) your access to this forum can be revoked, and the owners are well within their right(s) to do so. Most speech is governed to some degree. Sometimes it’s a minimal intrusion on free speech and sometimes it’s a significant intrusion. Stop mentioning the idea of “freedom” here while trying to apply the same protections as we have in the tactile space known as the real world. You very much check your freedoms at the door when you join an online forum. |

Great thread idea & clearly a big help to those contemplating such a change, shame it got somewhat derailed by ‘ignored users’.
Well done IND & FWIW I think the CSL options are the standout design choice.

Great thread from ind for sure. I voted with my dollars for the vorsteiner abs grill...installed it last weekend. I dig the Csl and others too. Cool to have options.
Amazing how such a good thread can be turned into an absolute Dumpster fire by a couple of members. Starting to see a pattern there... |

So if I have a 6MT car, I already have this? Or I have it on the top and just would buy a second one to protect the bottom?
