Banned from Facebook

Midnight Zen.

A while back Serg started posting a babe at midnight every night on the Zen Garage facebook page. I posted up the Sasha Larina photo above and it was taken down by facebook and I’ve been banned for 24hrs.

It’s apparently against their community standards. I read their document and in regards to nudity it states:

Facebook has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and any explicitly sexual content where a minor is involved. We also impose limitations on the display of nudity. We aspire to respect people’s right to share content of personal importance, whether those are photos of a sculpture like Michelangelo’s David or family photos of a child breastfeeding.

I consider the image I posted to be sexy, but it’s classy as well and nowhere near as cheeky as some of the stuff we’ve been posting on a daily basis. I’m not so upset about being banned, more upset about not knowing exactly why the image I posted breaks the rules, and more concerned about the threat from facebook to delete the Zen Garage page for good if I keep breaking the rules… that would be fucked up!

REBUILD

Posted on 2 December, 2013 by Justin Fox

Back in Sydney, totally burnt up too as Serg scored a flat tyre on the highway home and Claudio and I had to sit in the sun and wait for him to return from the nearest tyre shop!

REBUILD the Philippines was awesome and Melbourne turned on the weather, hard. So many marshals and volunteers greeted the hoards of amazing rides into the amazing venue in West Melbourne, which almost had a Daikoku Futo vibe going on. We loved it!

Can of Worms

Posted on 28 November, 2013 by Justin Fox

I love generating discussion and I’ve been known to open can of worm discussion threads on the JDMST forums for years. Tiring for some, but inspiring for others.

The other day I had a situation on the forums where a group of long standing members banned together to blast an individual about his choice of car tuning (stance). Worst thing is they did it in the guys build thread. One of my priorities is to inspire people to create and share their builds by running a build thread/diary on the forums. I can’t have haters destroy build threads as it’ll just scare people off from creating them (takes a lot of effort to run one to be honest).

In an attempt to stand up for the stance guys I wrote a facebook status that ended up getting over 250 comments in a matter of hours, the next morning I wrote a feature which yesterday had over 23,656 views on the Zen Garage web site. Not all the feedback has been positive, but that’s got to be expected when you’re voicing your opinion in public, the main thing is I’ve generated a bit of discussion, and it’s gotten a few people thinking I’m sure.
