What scares me isn't the footage or the report, it's that people are stupid enough to believe their crap.

"Tomorrow on Today Tonight, The new deadly craze thats luring your child into a deadly game of hit and miss"

"Their new game called why does everyone hate me, involves fully loading a revolver and shooting themselves in the head"

"Some experts say we should blame the parents for miss treating them"

"We just say that drivers of high powered nissans are at fault, how much longer will the public put up with them driving at the speed limit in a better car than TV hosts drive."

"All that and more right after these ads of cars speeding in wet weather and naked women advertising toast."

Today Tonight = Pure Sensationalism....definitely not news!

Years ago a mate of mine supplied Frank Pangalo with a pin hole camera setup to secretly film dudes that operated fish & chip shops who were selling fish but misrepresenting what they actually were. Since that time they have gotten worse & worse........if you could pick your nose till it bled they would consider it an interest to the public.

A good example is the material they source (ie drifting on Japan's roads) to sensationalize a supposed problem in our own streets. Aunty Mary & Uncle Arthur down the road think that it was filmed in the Adelaide Hills so now everytime they see an import they already have a negative attitude and misconception towards that driver.........always 1/2 truths as they get more desperate for ratings.

Chanel 7 & 9 have always been at war with each other and unfortunately we have to put up with the crud they serve all for the sake of their ratings!

I agree whole heartedly, hence my before post. The footage even though it was never said it WAS here in adelaide was definately spoken about as though that was. They never once illuded to the fact that they really didn't have a problem other than nothing else to put on for that show where they had footage of something here in adelaide.

If you get the chance people... google a song called "Sugar" by System of a down. Even if you don't like the music, just have a listen to the lyrics or even just the intro to the song and you can't help feeling a little duped and angry.

Now thats the stuff, maybe today tonight could use this somehow aswell! :P

And somehow illude to the fact that it was here in adelaide, and passes a kindergarten for special children. Man skyline owners have no regard for the law.. tisk tisk. :D

A special school and a nursing home ! :) But of course we would have to have the Japanese road signs in it though!

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
