This could be enabled when you are temporarily out of bikes at one time, or searching for a bike, or you dont have one but pillion.

Are you still talking about banning people from KB?

Go start another biker site.

There are plenty of people who have joined this site with no bike and gone on to get a licence and a bike. What's the point of freezing prospective motorcyclists out of KB?

Am I still talking about it? = hmm doesent take a genuis to figure that one out now does it.

I wont but how about you make a biker site, you are more capable than I in all aspects.

Its not freezing, this little tab next to their username could go away when they receive a motorcycle via contacting a mod if it were to go down.

Good day sir.

Exactly so.

It doesn't say Kiwimotorcyclist . It says KiwiBiker. A Biker's a Biker for life. makes no diference at all if he (or she) actually happens to posses a motorcycle at the time.

Biker is a state of mind, an insight into aspects of the universe denied to lesser beings, and subscription to a code of ideals and behaviour. Possession of some bits of plastic and metal has nothing to do with it.

To the original post, mods are mods, they dont have to consult you, the site is run how they see fit, not how you see fit. And big-ups to them, its overall a pretty damn good site

And about the rant and rave stuff, its awesome, kiwis love to talk shit, bikers love to talk shit, without it more threads would prolly be taken off topic. PD is good too, for when the rant and rave threads get too out of hand!

And to those who wish to ban non-bikers, firstly i cant think of why you would want to, secondly how the hell would you accomplish it? If such people cause troubles on the site mods can remove them, if not whats the problem, chances are they will eventually get a bike, or have and intrest, I mean, they did join a biker sit for a reason.

I look at KB as "User pays" It dont cost me anything so I have no say.

Fark! Does that mean I have to actually go out and buy a bike or at least find someone who will let me pillion before I can visit this site.
James D, can I be your pillion???????

I hope people realize that the Site Admin (ahem) didn't have a bike for well over a year. Things happened (car getting run over by a bus, a wedding, etc) but I was bikeless for the best part of 18+ months. Up until 2 nights ago that is.

I'm hardly going to ban myself.

Should we start up a site called KiwiNana then?

Shit, last time I was at your place, you had half a dozen bikes floating about. Does that mean you'd get multiple memberships?
Or a set of Ginzu knives?
Shit, what about your bling? Which account would it go to?
Oh my God, I'm having an anxiety attack!!!!

Umm, what?

So add a whole additional layer of complexity to a system which is already manned on an entirely voluntary basis?

What difference does it make whether someone has a bike or not? I didn't have a bike for the first 12 months or so of my membership here.

Miss Mully didn't have a bike when she joined - and ended up buying her bike of someone on here.

I use this place as a resource for stuff I simply don't know (someone here has generally had the same problem you have faced). I've made some good e-friends and met some people IRL who I would (and do) honestly refer to as friends.

R&R posts don't count towards your post count anyway (a move I strongly supported - the biggest shit talkers had squillions of posts and never said anything useful) so I don't understand what your point is.

If you don't like/approve of R&R, don't read it. It's like those people who complain about TV programs - if you don't like them, no-one's forcing you to watch them.

Honestly, Dean. I start reading a few posts from you which are quite sensible and then you start spouting again.
