I'm sure the mod violated some sort of privacy rule, which isn't cool at all...

I doubt it. Most forums when you register, there is usually a policy you agree to that says something to the effect of everything you submit to the forum, the forum owns.

I agree, I just think that their is a difference between what are rules and what is right.

uh, the 240 is as much of a rice bucket and brand whore car as a civic.

240 = rwd civic.

240 = *almost* a 944....that's really where you leave it.

you can make a 10 sec. civic, you can't make the best balanced street car IMHO.

There may be better more common rides....I choose to have the uncommon one.

civics are ok....not outstanding.

Many forums I've registered for say something to the effect of "We will never sell your email address for blah blah." Obviously, they technically told the truth but they certainly would have broken the implied promise

Perhaps the things you post in public, but I can't see how your personal information or PMs would be considered that way.

even the mods here have gone through PMs when they get serious complaints such as harassment.

anyone with half a brain should just assume anything they put on the internet might not be private any more.

urban dictionary on 'ricer'

1. ricer
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.

2. Ricer
Any oriental import car that has been modified for no real performance gain.
Ricer: An oriental car with no engine mods, a body kit, and possibly stickers. Made to look fast.
Not a ricer: An oriental car with a fully built engine, drive train, and suspension reguardless of appearance

yep!

Wow - you should probably edit out his Dad's SSN - although the damage is done to it already I imagine.

That's totally awesome - ruin someone's credit and possibly get their identity stolen because their son trolled a forum. :roll:

Our PCs actually perform better for our upgrades though, aside from AT's small segment of case-light afficionados.

I agree. The kid was being an immature kid. The other people in the forum were being downright criminal. Harassment on a personal level is no even-handed punishment for trolling.

well it brings to mind people who like to overclock their CPU, put out an extra 10W of heat, just to get 3 extra frames per second in Doom
