**Admin** · 01-16-2008, 07:11 PM

there has been some discussion in regrads to this thread.... Should we censor gory vids or photos on the site

http://www.fz6-forum.com/forum/fz6-g...bad-crash.html (Bad crash)

the question is do we want to censor things like this on the site...... Up to you all.....Majority rules.......

I say no, but make sure the vids and photo's are properly tagged as to the content.
people have different levels of comfort when it comes to tragedy....my first beheading video shocked the sh*t out of me...now I critique the camera work....

I agree with Magseal, keep the existing content and just be sure that the mods watch to make sure that it is appropriately marked as NSFW or gory of something like that.

Just mark things and let people know.

No threads marked

PUPPIES and KITTENS inside
Then open the thread and have
Puppies and kittens insides.
Thats just not cool.

I didnt like the dude popping like a grape either, but it is what happens, and is a very very good reminder to stay aware.

I think most of the members here are adults. We should have the right to decide whether to view the thread or not. Like many has mentioned, it is a reminder of reality, that death can be just around the corner. It's dangerous out there. Possibly with one exception, hope that it never will come down to this, however, if any members are to take that fatal fall, no pics.

Yes I would agree.

Personally I see enough death and distruction at work. We all need a reality check sometimes. I agree that no pictures of members should be posted in the event of an accident. After all that is about being respectful.
I would also like to offer that same level of respect to other riders.
Consider this for a moment, If the poor rider had fallen of his scooter and rolled away from the wheels of the truck. The video would still have the same impact, God that was close ect.
Has that video generated any really meaningful debate?
Personally I do not need to watch another humans last moments to realise that riding can have its risks.
If people wish to post graphic content then it should be clearly stated as already been discussed.
I may also be a little to close to this subject as my little bro was killed on his bike in a truck related accident.

great points

keep the vids gory or not. It's always a matter of choice. Watch it or NOT to watch it. Just like the scary vid about ghouls and ghost.
