G'day All
... I have been lurking on this site for a couple of years and despite dispensing a couple of Private Messages to people, have never Posted !!!
I thought I might share some things that I have learned from my time here ... purely for the benefit of new members coming on board.
1: Under no circumstances: Start a new Thread on Lane Splitting .......... use the Search function
2: Under no circumstances: Start a new Thread on Use of Bus Lanes .. use the Search function
3: Under no circumstances: Start a new Thread on Bike Insurance ........ use the Search function
4: Under no circumstances: Start a new Thread on Tyres .......................... use the Search function
5: After you have trolled through the 1000s of Threads resulting from your search ... desperately hunting for the simple yes/no answer you want .... Then you may start a new Thread asking your question. But be warned, the first response will be from someone advising you to use the search function.
6: Be Warned: Any Thread of more than 5 pages, has generally degenerated to:
xxxx: "well in my opinion, cagers are the root of all evil and should be wiped out"
yyyy: "Hey!!! xxxx!!! haven't heard from your for ages!! how are ya mate???"
xxxx: " Oh man .... its so good, we went out Fri nite and got so munted!! where were you"
yyyy: " Oh you know ... had that other thing to go to, hows your sister"
etc etc etc
(Oh ....and don't worry about using PM for things like this ... all 4000+ Kiwibike members are interested in reading that kind of post)
7: Be Warned: Any Thread of more than 7 pages, has generally degenerated to:
xxxx: " .... and when I say I'm right, thats all there is too it"
zzzz: " well ... I think your an asshole"
xxxx: " screw you zzzz"
zzzz: " up yours xxxx"
etc etc etc
8: Your opinions are meaningless here, until you have made at least .... 240posts. Until then you have no "Site Presence", you may be welcomed, but will be mostly disregared.
9: Whenever any Discussion Thread does degenerate into an arguement, the person with the highest post count wins. Regardless. right or wrong, it doesn't matter. If, for example: You are a motorcyle mechanic with 20years experience explaining how to dismantle the top end but you have less than 100posts to your credit ... and the uninformed moron your debating with has over 1000posts ... he is right, sorry. Highest post count wins.
10: If people of comparable post counts are debating, the one with the most Green Rep wins.
11: Green Rep can be dispensed freely ... and for anything ...
12: Red Rep can only be dispensed after hours of agonising and sleepless nights, and be prepared to fight bitterly to defend the red rep you dispense.
13: Threads full of misery and carnage will always be met with sympathy and offers of assistance
14: Threads of 'happy' stories with shiny paintwork, dry roads and blue skies will be met with groans of envy and/or congratulations
Bottom Line: Bloody Awesome Website, full of Great People and Interesting Information.
I will quietly go back to Lurk mode now .....
