Censorship etc... have at it

Interesting idea BUT you've already skewed the result!

Good point. OK, slightly different question then, for disguise.

So what's wrong with removing Z-bo's post which could have been interpretted as personal?

Well , thats part of my point.
COULD HAVE= WAS SUBJECT to ITERPRATATION
Many of us who were involved, felt that Z-Bo's post ( even if some didn't agree with it) felt it was honest, written in the vernacular , the way people actually talk and although contoversial, brought up some valid points.
If, as I understand it, he had more generalized his statement like, " Nothing personal to those that did it, but in general , it really concens me when people who can't ski, ruin a beautiful powder face. " that would have been OK.
The people who runied the face would still have taken it personally because they knew who he was refering to and although he would still have got a lot of negative feeback the post wouldn't have been deleted.Maybe it would have because it was negative about some established TAYers??
Semantics and interpretation.
If you really examine the discourse with an open mind, it was actually the TAYers who responded in an rude, virulant and even more derogatory fashion.

PS.  what's with the pic limit gripes?  doesn't everyone have a pic account somewhere to link to?

I'd rather read a TR with rich and plentiful supporting visuals here than have just a link to your blog or picassa account.

Rather interestingly the very finest content at TGR, outside of the many instances of massive community support, huge database of technical knowledge, industry insider news, regional/international diversity and runaway sense of fun, are the picture laden TRs. In perhaps the ultimate irony Most of the authors of the highest quality TAY TRs cross post there complete with their unrestricted visual content.

The argument against such a posting style here, as far as I can gather, is that someone might be irritated at slow page loading via dial up or have too teenzy a telescreen?

Also... I've met many. many, many dedicated BC skiers who ridicule the rather too precious attitude of this place and who mostly just read it rather than bother contributing and complying. Ever notice the replies:reads ratios here?

It seems a pity that in the current TAY circle  j**k of self congratulation the fact that content and "width" is being turned off or away is completely overlooked.

Exactly, and I absolutely agree with your observations and have the same experience with lots of people who use the telemetry but think the site too "precious".
Even Lowell Skoog, who had been very dismissive of TGR in the past posts and stated his disdain for it, posts his NMJJ ( whatever its' called ) on TGR! And thats not a personal attack, just a fact.

I see your point about content. The high view:post ratio is both good and bad. If people don't have real comments to add, then we get more self congratulation if more viewers post comments. On the otherhand, ALL of my bc partners are NOT members of TAY, but do commonly view TR.

While I agree the pic limit is on the low side, can't you just url-tag as many photos as you want in a post? It doesn't take that long to do. And yes, the TR that are well-written and have more pics are more enjoyable, but for every one of those there's a 2 sentence TR with 20 non-inspired pics that are a waste of bandwidth and storage.
