Probably have to be pretty old to get that one.
But for this specific case, I think it would make sense to remove the ability for individual users to delete their posts and only allow them to edit their own posts to remove info. I think thats the biggest problem is Sloan deletes all the peoples posts who have replied to them, and there can be some good insight that is flushed down the drain

@ML512 I find this forum a little unusual (but not unheard of) that members can delete entire threads...what if J Sloan started the "best 2 strokes thread" and decided to just delete it because he got bent out of shape for whatever reason. Some threads, no matter who starts them can be an archive of great info and/or memories for a lot of members.
Also...being able to delete your own post and having subsequent people who quoted you also having posts deleted is not ideal.
I think the only way people should be able to delete entire threads is via contacting a mod with a valid reason....eg "Sorry I was drunk"...."I've been threatened with litigation please remove" etc.
And I dont think people shouldnt be able to delete posts either...still be able to edit, but not affect any subsequent quotes.

The claim was ON. (Complete bike impounded)
The claim was OFF. (Bike released back to Star)
The motor was swapped.
I find it very hard to believe the AMA would be mucked about and the claim going back ON again after it had been released once.
Pit Row
1) if this was going to be Haidens last amateur race and he is planning to race the last few pro nationals, what better way then to give him the “true” factory star bike in a race situation.
2) I could be wrong but I don’t believe the claim rule is in effect at pro-ams therefore star has no concern of him racing the “true” factory star bike so they only had to get through LL and they were home free.
3)I can totally believe that mx sports (cotter) pulled Brennan into a room and told him to back off to protect star and the deegans. I have Nothing against Star or the deegans but mx sports and the industry wants him pro ASAP. Prime example is mx sports sent an email yesterday announcing that Unadilla and Budds creek are pro-am events. Yes Unadilla already was a pro-am but budds creek is/was not on the schedule. This addition gives haiden the opportunity to get enough points (60) to race the pro national at Budds Creek if he acquires enough points at Dilla or Ironman after he acquires enough points between Dilla and Budds Creek. If you don’t think mx sports intentionally is bending over backwards for Deegan to be pro ASAP I don’t know what you are thinking. Therefore if Deegan does get his pro points to be ready for Budds/Ironman he would have limited time on the true factory bike which is why I believe the bike he raced at LL was a “true” factory bike or one that is very close (not kit suspension).
Either way if Cotter had a closed door meeting with Brennan without the AMA involved in that conversation that lead to the withdrawal of the claim, that is total bulls**t and should be handled by the AMA. The head of MX sports shouldn’t bully riders when the claim was out of his juristication.
Haiden good luck at the Pro/Ams and I look forward to seeing your pro debut.
He explained that there is a leap power wise between a Star factory bike and a Star amateur bike and it takes more strength to ride the factory bike and they are trying to build it.
