    Sorry for people think this is blunt, but i been at an xmas party and a bit tipsy and well doing what people should be doing riding/fiddling with motorbikes half the weekend

    Some of you know me i am pretty quiet chap, but not mix words, and don't really in with the bullshit/politics that goes on, and more the direct to point person.

    I like Tony alot, i have alot of time and respect for him as a person, and has a wealth of knowledge of motorcycles, and will help him if he never needed a hand.
    ----------
    Mods are here to inforce the rules, of the site, and as such, should be able to abide to them to a higher standard than the average user.

    And as a mod you are not allowed to mod anything you have a vested interest in (aka you activly debating in such thread, or partner is active member of thread[aka i not allowed to mod anything dealing with motogirl, as much as i would like to at times].

    Tony, would regular delete posts from posts that he did not agree with or people he didn't really like, many time given posts are disgreeing with his information. (i know this is sometimes hard to do, thats why there is a team of mods, since if you have an issue you can get someone unbais to look at it and they can decide what happens)

    Tony would often post in the wrong sections of the forum on purpose due to fact certain areas get more members viewing so wants that extra exposure.

    He was warned many times about such actions, in turn wanted to be micromanaged in his role as a mod. Which honstly why we have someone as a mod if you have to micromanage them in there job.

    I know the issues with Tony have been going on for a long time, i have no idea what happened previous to me becoming on as a SeniorMod, i can only say what i have seen myself.

    And as such, Spankme was informed all steps of the way, if he disgreed with our actions he could have steped in, but did not

    On another note - Some of his actions are what many people complain about what the mods do which should not. You can't have it both ways

    ------------

    Like anything some of you have heard one part of the story and are jumping to colusions, from one side. This is the way i see it, you can believe it or not.

Yes, other areas have put their shoulder to the wheel, but Auckland is where it hurts. And, unsurprisingly the campaign was started by Mr Spankme, an Aucklander. And equally unsurprisingly, none of the rest of the mods or Heaven Born have shown the slightest interest. And in some cases have actively worked against it. So that's one example of where not having any Auckland representation is an issue.
    Well Ixion i was at the cheesecutter protest ride, many people know i am always here to help in anyway i can, I know it was only a small role, but i helped walk around at the domain with a clipboard collecting signtures.

    --------
    I also note thats always the same sorta people that come for the bash the mod type of posts.

    And honstly its people like that that make it hard to find mods in the first place, in my short time as a smod i have asked some well respected members of KB, if they would be interest in joining the mod team, but they turn down due to fact, they get abused for trying to keep the site clean/orginised. And then in turn with a some mods, are made to feel like an outside at kb rides/events.

    Cajun can I ask if you are aware of where the deletions you are refering to take place?
    Is it for example in the mechanical forums?
    Could the advice deleted be along the lines of "spray Crc on your brake disk to quieten down the squeaking'?
    Or could the deleted posts have been contravening the specific forum rules put in place by Spank Me?
    There do apear to be many posts that disagree with Frostys point of view in the mechanical forums.They don't apear to be affected. I can see several posts by Robert Taylor attacking Frosty for example.They don't apear to be modified.

    Are you aware of one single person Frosty dislikes? Honestly? He in my experience doesn't know how to dislike anyone.
    Are you aware of any moderator other than Frosty or perhaps Kickaha who could make an informed decision regarding the tecnical sections. Joni Perhaps?
    Wasn't he put in the untenable position of having to wear both the moderator and technical advisor hat simultaneusly?
    I could be wrong being only a girl and a novice biker but doesn't
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/announcement.php?f=70
    pretty well cover that situation off?
    You say on several occasions threads were started in the wrong forum.
    As i understand itthere were in fact TWO threads not several as alluded to.
    One the castrol 6 hour thread authored by codgyoldracer.
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=60329

    The thread moved by Spank Me to General biker ravings and his decision overruled by Joni

    Can I ask did Joni ask permission before overruling the decision made by the owner of this site?

    theother is http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=61003
    Posted by Frosty in General Biker Ravings and moved by senior moderators. As I understand it he was infracted for posting in the incorrect forum.
    Interesting Cajun that you are one of the first to post in that thread and saw nothing wrong with its placement.
    Is it possible that the "issue" lies in another place other than the moderator being targeted?

    By impartial and balanced decision do you perhaps refer to
    http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...8&postcount=91
    as an example of good moderation.
    Regarding being micromanaged. So what you are saying is that Frosty made an apology for stepping on toes and asked to be advised if he did so. Sounds tome a case of someone trying to "toe the party line' and being offered no assistance to do so.

    Are you able to confirm or deny that an ultimatum was sent to yourself, Kickaha Spank me and Frosty by Joni 24 hours before the "impartial" decision was made?
    In Frostys first post here he has made it clear that he is happy for that private message to be made public knowledge.Are the senior moderators happy to be as transparent.

    Tony always commented to me that he would delete any mechanical related posts where the information was incorrect and he felt it could pose a safety issue. I actually believe this to be entirely appropriate behavior, it may be against the rules, but I do applaud the man for it, bloody good on Frosty for thinking for himself and for not blindly following the rules.
    Would you rather he left bad advice there and risk someone actually following it?
    Sure you can post countering a stupid argument, however that often just raises doubt, Frosty's approach removes doubt.

    Thank you, we would appear to be in agreement that transparency is indeed desirable.

    What sorta people is that Cajun?
    Most of those that I know personally whom are "bashing" the mods are damn nice people who feel very strongly and care about a man whom has become a very good friend.

    Now we are starting to get somewhere
    Its very slow progress but now we are here lets take it a step further
    What was put in the ultimatum so people can see it for what it is.
    Lets be very clear
    Who did the Ultimatum
    Why was spankme being put in this position/decision
    Who was going to leave if their ultimatum was not accepted
    Lets be clear so all can see the truth behind whats happened
    Its alright putting what you believe Frosty has done from your side but it is very heavy handed kinda behaviour Cajun.
    Does it really fit the crime.

    Like scumdog says, tell em to get farked..! However if you want to talk justice, try this: 19 year old local girl up here got raped by 4 guys and she recieved 200 lashes for getting into a car with men that she wasn't related to! Could have been worse, she could have been kicked off KB for a month.. Right?
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    At least I post shit about bikes, not weepy bullshit about my pets and yet another relationship screw up that's everyone else's fault.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
