Exactly Why Aren't Kill Stories Allowed?

It's because my 82 isn't fast enough to beat anyone, so I don't want to read about how fast your vette is. :devil

Ok the real story....

It's sort of a liability issue..... There's always a possibility that some lawyer would try to link an injury or death back to a forum because of what is posted.

Most of us chicken administrator's would rather not even get involved to begin with.

If Bryan's see's this I'm sure he could elaborate further on the issue...

Okay, dumb question. What is a "kill story"? A story of a street race where you smoked the hell out of another car, a story of a street race where someone literally got killed as a result, a story of a race where I killed my Vette's fan belt & water pump, or killed my T-bird's tranny at Firebird, or something else?

Street racing is BAD!!

Breaking the speed limit is BAD!!

Owning fast sports cars is BAD!!

Stories are just that, stories!

Unless you have vid to back up your mouth it means nothing!

However once the vid is out there, the host and linkers can be in for lawyer crappola!!

BTW, can you turn off the HUD if I want to try pics at WARP??

Well since there's no way to prove it, I don't see how this is a kill story...

Were you going downhill when said event happened?

Ken has the real answer.

#1. We do not promote illegal racing on the streets. Most kill stories are just tales of someone out racing another car on the street.

#2. To prove you are the one that won the illegal race, most time videos or photos are included. In come the lawyers saying that a web site is promoting an illegal activity by giving space for kill stories. They also can be used against a person in the event that a lawsuit were to come up later on (person posts 10 kill videos and then gets in a car wreck where excessive speed was involved.).

#3. Kill stories are just stupid. Go to a web site that allows this crap. It's a bunch of teenagers bragging that they outraced a Vette off the line in their civic. Or it's videos of them darting in and out of traffic on the interstate as they race against another car. It gets to be where the stories are so much :bs that the site can't be taken seriously as a forum for information.

Hope this helps.
