If someone wants to take pictures of random emo-faggy shit, they can just throw that shit up in eye candy. This is a car site, after all.
Allowing only approved members to create threads in the newly-created section is the entire point of having the section to begin with. It's supposed to be quality over quantity. If I wanted to see 50 million threads with shitty pictures in them, I can look in eye candy for that since there are plenty already.

Re: additions to the main site/forums.
I think this is an absolutely awesome idea.
Here's my idea on how it should be:
~A seperate forum for the quality photographers with quality cars
~Only people from the 'photo crew' can create new threads
~If some fucktard from the 'photo crew' abuses it, they're out
~Anyone can reply to the threads and ask about the setting, locations, etc...
~If someone wants to be in the 'photo crew' just have them post up some pics in eye-candy, and if they don't suck, let him/her in
~Incorporate in the rules to keep the retarded inside jokes out of the forum
~Let the images be available to download for wallpapers with the DragVa logo on it (like DTMPower)
~If you want your car photographed, PM one of the 'photo crew' and if they can't do it, they'll know someone who has time
~Don't make it a private forum (i.e. let guests be able to view it, but only members can download from it)
This is only going to be sucessful in you put up very specific rules and enforce them. (The later shouldn't be a problem) For some fucking reason, people on this site are fucking uncontrolable when you don't set up rules that cover all of the bases.
This is coming at a perfect time though. We already have quite a few really good photographers (ritz, nothing, Soon2BeStangin, etc...). And there are going to be quite a few cars coming out of this site in the next few months that will give them something to take pictures of. Add that to the rest of the quality cars on here already and the photographers can pretty much choose who they want. I'm with SoulD with the need for quality pics of quality cars. Everyone thinks of this site as a bunch of 16 year old ricers with civics and fart cans, we need to show everyone that we are a maturing board with quality cars and good people. In the last few month, everyone has started to kick it up a few notches car-wise, and this would be a perfect place for them to show them off. (Or you can be like Jay and take three years, whatever) I thing it's pretty badass when I go to the NOVA DragVA meet and 300 cars show up and Drag is regularly mentioned on Bimmerforums, DTMPower, E46fanatics, etc.... (the other forums I go to) I still consider this a local 757 board and it's a trip that it's started to get the reckonition it deserves.
You can call me an idiot if you want, but those are my opinions.
