There have been a significant number of complaints about reckless riding threads, you know, the ones where someone puts a GoPro on their bike and tries to impress everyone with how skilled and/or stupid they are.
There are two ways to look at this. Obviously, there is interest in this type of behavior, or shows like Jackass and networks like Spike wouldn't exist. More seasoned riders will either skip over it or shake their heads - I look at it occasionally, in the belief that anyone can be a role model, just not necessarily a good one.
On one hand, there are sites dedicated to this purpose (check out ridetodie.com if you really want the gory details). Some members have argued there should be zero tolerance for it on CBR250.net.
On the other hand, despite what some people think, the mods on here are generally against censorship. We get complaints because someone used a three-letter word pertaining to a posterior, and we get complaints because people can't say someone had sex with their mother. No one thinks the iPhone ads gets deleted quick enough, even though a bunch were deleted within hours this past weekend.
It's impossible to please everyone, but the mods would like some opinions. If the majority wants a change in the way these threads are handed, I'll pass the decision upstairs to the Site Masters....
So: What's your opinion of reckless riding threads?
