Did you read his post? How do you propose Jason stops allowing people to post pictures on an open web forum?

Why don't you all hash this question and the potential answers out. The majority will come to the conclution that. "it's the nature of the internet" and leave things as they are. Unless you seriously think we haven't had this conversation before?

If you don't like this site go to the other Hummer site. It's hidden unless you join, so gets a lot less traffic and less jerks who post this crap, however it's boring.

This is not the first or last time this will happen.

This is a Hummer forum not the sewing circle forum, we can take a few gross photos I would think. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I understand it is next to impossible for one person to monitor a site, for that reason, maybe it is time to recruit moderators. Other sites that I belong do a great job in keeping this type of trash off their sites. Some use filter to filter certain words, and the moderators take care of any of these type photo posts. A good example is http://www.corvetteforum.com. You will find heated debates in some of the sections: off-topic and political, but in the general Corvette sections it is kept clean. Maybe Corvette owners are more understanding that minors do visit these sites once in a while. Maybe Corvette owners are more intelligent and considerate.
Another site is http://www.nikonians.org; photography review, Jeep forum, etc. So, it can be done.
I will be the first to say that heated debates should not be stopped unless they get into calling people names; at this time, it is no longer a beneficial debate and the thread should be locked.
So, even if it is the nature of the Internet, photos like this can be moderated and removed, and the people who post them, can be restricted.
If this was posted in an off-topic area of the forum, that had a warning, I would have no problem.

I agree this is not the first or last time this will happen; but hopefully, it will be corrected faster. Some of these photos that this jerk has posted have been around for a few days.

No, it is not a sewing circle. However, I thought, maybe I'm wrong, that Hummer owners were decent people. The ones I know who own Hummers, the ones I know who are purchasing Hummers and most of the people on this forum appear to be decent. Sad to say, there are a few who do not appear to be decent.

Therefore, I will take your advice and move on to another forum. See, I don't need this forum, and most on this forum could care less if I was here or not.
All I ever offered this forum was service information procedures if someone needed them, and GMID certificates to those who might be considering the purchase of a Hummer, and hopefully, the certificate might help them to save money, while purchasing a GM vehicle.
So, I say goodbye to the decent people on this forum, while I say stuff it to those who aren't, and I'm headed to another forum.
