Hi Tort,
Thanks for the response. With the growth of the web, the life of a forum mod is a lot different than when I first went online. At the forums I frequent they all seem to be overworked now, and with little recognition to boot.
I've literally not seen overt spam (of the hit and run variety) here, but I don't read every thread in every forum, and like you say, the mods get a lot of it before we see it. I hope you guys are planning some sort of message to inform new users why their post isn't going through though. I can find little info on this policy, and actually have no clue what the limitation is precisely.
That hood is a '00 Si that never saw anything but tunnel washes for at least 4 years. My post was going over the history of the car, my intro to Autopia, what I'd done and what I plan to do, as well as things I'd learned that surprised me. But I'd just washed it and the light was late and nice, so I was motivated to take some pics, then go inspired to post. Maybe next time I wash it I'll get reinspired LOL.
Thanks for all your and the other mods efforts, I know it's not an easy job.
