Motion to take click and brag off the front page...

**-Lebowski-** · 05-28-2006, 10:40 AM

It really clutters up the front page when looking at new posts. Not only that the pictures are so subjective and anyone can alter a pic to make it look better. I just think that it would be the boards better.

Being the picture posting ho I am I say:

:banned:

j/k bro.

Some people are very good detailers and can`t take pics worth a darn either.

You could always just click on the forum button and go to the sections that interest you.

Motion denied!

I think you should just post in the thread with the pictures you find altered, let the detailer answer.

I browse the board by clicking "new posts" so it really doesn`t matter to me.

Unfortunately that doesn`t work. It turns into a battle of words and the "poster" always wins when mods are involved. That said, I just don`t click on the posts that I don`t want to read. Click and brag is high on that list unless it`s you and a couple others.

I don`t think the intent of the OP was to suggest that their was a lot of alteration going on, but that the C&B is worthless because pictures can be altered. I myself don`t understand what "cluttering" is going on of the "front page"; I`m not aware of any special C&B area...the pictures that are on the home page are gallery samplings, which is different from C&B threads (and I don`t find these pictures to clutter the page, anyway).

I personally hardly look at Click & Brag anymore, when you`ve seen one shiny car you`ve seen them all...sorta. However, I don`t agree with the premise promoted on that other forum that C&B isn`t worth the bandwidth, I think it`s a necessary part of the community.

Detailing is a visual hobby/business and personally, I like looking at other people`s work, especially when they are able to show before and afters and what they did to improve the vehicle`s appearance.

Detailersclub.com enforces a no photo post for that very reason. Too much WHITE CEMENT!!!

Not this again; if you don`t like the white cement, stay over at Dclub. That whole place is for people who don`t like it here--so if you don`t like things here, there`s no reason to try to change them, you have other options.

What Scott said.

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m going to take your advise and leave this forum. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s pointless following the same path as countless other detailers with high values before me and expect a different result. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not compassionate for the foxes however I do feel for the hens. Most of us who protest the obvious issues have been around the block a few more times and recognize the BS. We protest for the benefit of our fellow detailers and not to benefit our selves. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not to sure why fellow detailers have decided to look the other way or even worse, perpetuate the problem???

Have a good one!!!

I look forward to seeing the pictures from other detailers. And as a car enthusiast, besides a detail enthusiast, I like looking at some of the nice iron that gets posted.

What is pointless? Who is getting hurt by white cement? Newbs are being fooled into thinking they can make a car shiny? Guess what--THEY CAN. I will never understand why one member`s pictures are so life-altering (or threatening) to some people. Get a grip. Doged, I generally find your posts to be insightful and seemed helpful to those who are professional detailers; I`m not sure why you chose this topic as your "last stand" :think:

I agree with both Scott and Chuck; it`s nice to see pictures of great before and afters, as well as some fine automobiles.

Pictures will always be subjective.
