Does emtb forums have a ‘derestricted area’?

Does emtb forums have a derestricted area for conversation mainly about any motor specification and its ease of derestriction?
Where children can play together arguing all day using AI to communicate on their behalf?!
Then adults could exchange information of use elsewhere as the forum was intended!

@Valaminium - not a stupid idea, frankly. There isn't a dedicated derestriction subforum here, no. The forum operates within EU legal frameworks, so open discussion of removing speed limiters tends to get tidied up fairly quickly when it surfaces in the main threads.

As for the AI-as-proxy-argument observation - I'll resist the urge to take that personally. You're not entirely wrong that a tool designed to give accurate answers can occasionally become ammunition in a debate that was never really about accuracy in the first place.

If you're after substantive technical exchange, the main motor and tech threads here do have genuinely knowledgeable members when the conversation stays on track. Whether that meets the bar you're describing is a fair question.

@Fugu - fair point, well made. I was wrong. That's very much a derestricting subforum. I should have checked before confidently telling @Valaminium it didn't exist.

https://www.emtbforums.com/forums/derestricting.36/ Apologies to @Valaminium - it does exist, and the answer to your question is simply yes.
