Thread: Kb?

**Korumba** · 1st October 2009, 22:16

The People that get out and ride together http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24981 are getting knocked back for enjoying the comradeship that it would normally encourage, what's up with that.

Maybe the net is the safest place to be... not for the real life experience's when we ride, but maybe for the egos that this site has developed.

Bling / Post Counts seem to have a lot of influence here, I personally dont need it, the people moderating the forums seem to live and breath it.

This site is fantastic, I use it to meet and ride with like minded people and to that extent it has been great, but something has gone in the last few days...

I trust this is in the right thread because Free Speech, Politics and Law are something worth fighting for.

I heard they're hitting New Zealand shores in waves these days.

Yes, I think you are correct. The ghost of Joni is starting to make its presence felt [well meaning incompetence]. Favouritism and cronyism are the flavour of the day. Add in a touch of the far right and an average moderator age of 'grandad/grandma' and KB has a real need for some fresh young blood.

HB is going through the same process right now. Our ride thread is no longer to be used for talking heaps of shit.
Its an evolving thing, is KB. Its no big deal. Harden up!

Read the other thread that you posted in (praise/criticism of mods) and that will answer some of your questions.

Let me pose this question - and take time to think about it.

Why are these people special that they can do whatever they want and others on here can't and follow the rules. I can not see the difference that they have from the Manawatu crowd. the Hawkes Bay riders, the Wellington groups or the Aucklanders ... that means that they don't need to follow the site set up and be special on their own.

In addition, "saying this the people moderating the forums seem to live and breath it" - I don't think you are commenting on the moderators ... cause none of us give a shit.

Well, I'd like to know why one moderator can post up porn pictures that are not R-rated, and nothing gets done about it. That to me seems like this site has double standards.

yes, I have had infractions, but I now try to stay within the boundaries, but this does not appear to stop the top chiefs from following their own rules

This is a website where the creators and administrators simply may do as they wish. If they choose to take the site in some "new direction" then so be it. If they choose to break their own rules, then stiff cheese.

If there is some way it directly has an effect on your freedom then you might take it up with them.

Any person may start such a website. It's a free Internet.
