Should motorcycles be able to ban people?

Some quotes, from the recent threads and from the biki:
"The aim of Barbecycle 2000 is to create an online space where the standard of pop-a-wheelies, ramp jumping and and standing on your handlebars while riding is higher than anywhere else online and in which everyone has a say in the running and management of the Voltron bike, where all the Barbelith motorcycles form into one giant motorcycle. We are working to achieve that by gradually adding power as much as possible to the people who use the bikes on a regular basis - and allowing them the use of a modified flux capacitor, which is not powerful enough for time travel, but will make your pop-a-wheelies go a bit higher."
Okay.

So - Barbelith, in light of the recent cycle wars, seems to be looking for a way to decide what is and is not acceptable behavior, when forming the Voltron bike.

Should moderators be able to suggest that the Voltron bike actually have the ability to also turn into a giant robot like a transformer, or will it simply look like a go-bot?

In closing, the Barbelith Motorcycles themselves should be able to ban anyone not connecting to the Voltron Bike when the other Biker bot gangs come for us. Thank you, goodnight.

Damnation, I thought this thread was about motorcycles banging people. You're a disappointment, Danforth. One might expect more sauce from royalty.

Ok, so we've locked a pretty harmless bike because of one ride from a piss take race which portrays the Juggernaut from the X-Men comics as being a big bad Harley driver. No-one calls for banning it for racing reasons, which would be slightly narrow sighted. No, no, no, one ride in the cartoon causes all kinds of trouble. The situation is that the bike is locked, we cannot discuss what was a pretty harmless race, which I actually found amusing.

As Cassandra said in thread;

Everybody buckle your seatbelts. What used to be funny isn't funny anymore. Not that we ever found seatbelts on motorbikes funny, mind.

No one finds the concept of motorraces funny. But when something is so clearly tongue in cheek, not trying to provoke outrage in anyway, is it possible that the motorators can't act like they're the fucking racing regulators?

This feels like pure bullshit. Can we expect all future bikes which could possibly outrace anyone to be automatic locks? Shall any discussion of the forth coming race of the hills just be avoided? How about straw dogs. Are we no longer allowed to run them over?

My bike is actually a tricycle with a 4th extra wheel

Can I join the Voltron combo nonetheless?

Just askin'

I mean, we were talking about Go-bots and motorcycles, but we realize you need somewhere to talk about the heretofore unrealized megaton destruction force of your own tricycles.

You're all missing the point, as usual, which is that we live in a society that refuses to see former Decepticons as anything other than 'former Decepticons.'
