My role on KB.

[Mutley]

...I am still disappointed that so much gets moderated on this site as it seems in the name of keeping things pure and perfect. Why have we been so worried about keeping things on topic, why have we been so worried about random discussion? It happens in normal conversation so why can't it happen here?....

If abuse occurs in normal conversation the abuser could expect a punch in the mouth.
Societies need rules and regulations in order to function properly and prevent anarchy.
As we see on KB nothing is kept pure and perfect, many people voice differing points of view. But when personal attacks occur, something has to be done. Just like in everyday life, every action has a reaction.
Moderators are needed to keep this site functioning, just as society needs moderators.

PS Thanks Joni for doing a good job as a moderator. Hope to meet up with you at the KB Birthday Party in CHCH.

Well the time has come guys.

I have thought about this long and hard, and after all the abuse and threats I have had to face, the high horses I have had to watch people ride, the drama, and the inconsistencies, all has left me unhappy, and I needed to re-look at my role on KB.

I have spoken with Spank and instead of withdrawing completely from the KB mod team, I will be moving away from my day interaction with the KB members and taking care of stuff behind the scenes.

Just a note from me: I have put my everything into this site, it seems that it’s not enough for some. People have lost “Joanne” somewhere… and all everyone seems to see is Joni this internet “thing” that you can say and do what you like to. My good friend Jimmy (White Trash) once told me I’m too sensitive to do the Mod thing, I think he was right.

I’m here if you need help, advice what ever… I will help where ever I can, just not the drama and abuse. I’m over that part.

:spudwave:

Joanne, you have always had my support as a Mod and a person. Good on you for making a change for your sake. Thanks for doing such a great job in difficult circumstances - Yes - there are some monumental dickheads on this website with brains barely big enough to cover a small waterbiscuit.... you have done a job most of us would shy away from, not to mention never have the spare time to do!

Cheers! See you sometime and buy you a beer! or wine! (mmm beer and wine........ drool!!)

Cam.

I'm a Silly Billy, everyone knows that. I ask dumb questions and suggest things that I should know better about. Through all of this, you've been good enough to humour me - Thanks Joni. Enjoy your retirement (from Modding... )

[Skunk]

Thanks for everything Joni. You've done a great job, with no pay, and on your own time.

Respect.

Now that what she said truly was pointless drivel.

Now that what she said truly was pointless drivel.

Poor girl. Part of me felt sorry for her. She's only 18 and in an interview she said she was so nervous that she only heard about 2 words of the question. Still, you might argue her answer was perfect in that it was probably a better response than most middle class Americans. Kinda like asking 80% of Kiwi's what the EFB is all about... No it's not about rugby.

And yet none of this matters. With her looks, some 80 year old Texas oil baron will win her heart.

Mm hmm. The general mockery in response to her cockup was simple schadenfreude.

Personally, I prefer to take it easy on dumb blondes when they embarrass themselves.

All the best Joni. I hope all works out

All the best Joni,

Why have we been so worried about keeping things on topic, why have we been so worried about random discussion?

If you walk back through time certain members discussed about Beer and Scotch in various threads. I'm not going to name names, but lets just say the temptation is there for those who should not be tempted.
And no it wasnt Joni - she's been a doll.
I do not take any quarrel with her.
