Similarly, posting about your high-speed escapades on public roads is forbidden.

BAM done and done

I rest my case...any speed over highway speed...100kph or 70 MPH sould not be allowed by this rule NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR WHO YOU KNOW

The rule states '...highly illegal speed...'. From what I understand about the Autobahn, at certain times there is NO SPEED LIMIT. No speed limit means just that. In other words, part of this rule is irrelevant since the video was taken on the Autobahn, with NO SPEED LIMIT. Now, the safety issue of holding a video camera is another discussion altogether.

IMHO, a topic such as this, should have been brought up to a MOD or ADMIN via PM, rather than publicly airing 'grieveances'. The rules are simple and sometimes with a gray area, such as we have seen, is just that, a gray area. The Mod in question made the decision he/she felt was appropriate.

Believe me when I tell you, there is no favortism here. We (Mods/Admins) discuss our decisions and day-to-day on a daily basis. Topics such as this get hashed out *before* action is taken.

Wesley, PM sent.
