Why are we at Orange?

[egem]

That will happen regardless now they are being criticised because they have released it.

Wow great insight right here -how about you actually contribute something worthwhile?

I have - now we know where your ideas come from, we can treat them as they deserve.

So basically if someone holds a different view to the majority on here, you don't want to hear from them? Not interested in exchanging ideas, debating? You'd rather they just left?

Is that the view of most of the active members here?

Speaking of membership, I see mine is still active. Admin, (any of you will do) I asked several weeks ago for my membership to be deactivated. I asked multiple times, and I asked politely.

Is there a reason it hasn't been done?

[Wainuiguy]

Completely wrong.  You may want to actually check the different levels.

Perhaps you could clarify using the traffic light requirements why you feel that green is the appropriate level we should be on, as against the current orange.

Based on the information here, I can't see how @yousnoozeyoulose is 'completely wrong'

Limited community transmission
hospitals have no issues

Virtually every area now 90% immunized.

Unless of course the Omicron wave is only just beginning...

Unless of course the Omicron wave is only just beginning...

And then there will be another variation,and another, and another. 
When do we stop cowering in our homes or hiding behind ineffectual masks?

Methinks your idea of "limited" is different to the multitude of health professionals, but that's cool. You're cool. We're all cool. Except Magoo. Magoo is super cool.

And I'm sure the hospitals, doctors and nurses will be relieved to hear that there are no issues. Paging Dr Ropata...

Why not just delete your stored login and password?

Because that doesn't get rid of the profile?

Everyone is certainly allowed different views @Egem, but for me personally it does get a bit old and ho hum when agitators who don't really contribute anything meaningful to this board decide to pop in for a wee session, on a monotonously regular basis. 

As for your membership we can certainly deal to that if you like - for my part it hasn't been done to date because I think a cooldown period is useful while new members adjust to the way we do things here - the RULES  are here.  Let me know here or send a PM if you like

So we should be at green now and throughout all the subsequent variants?

[Magoo]

im so sorry we werent up to your exacting standards egem.
im sure you are used to witty repartee and highbrow well informed debate,
however your manners are abhorrent. coming in to shit on the site whining about your membership not being cancelled to your satisfaction. all passive aggressive hands on hips, with your face on.
were i not so considerate and patient i might have told you to fuck off.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I could do it for you magoo? If you aren't feeling up to it. I do an excellent Fuck Off.

[Olive]

I can help too.

[Wainuiguy]

I think if you set up a system with various criteria then you should actually follow them.

[egem]

Wow. Am actually almost speechless at some of these reactions. I seriously do not understand the hostility from the above members. You are telling me to fuck off? Why? I have not been rude or unpleasant to any of you, and my wanting to leave this forum is nothing to do with any of you.

OK then, since we are revisiting @Egems concerns, in the interest of keeping everything out in the open, here is what actually  happened...

https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?pid=11045
I myself made this post #21 in reply to EGEM

That actually made me laugh,  "exaggerating for effect " , otherwise known as disseminating misinformation.
I'm amazed you can keep a straight face when saying that...

In the morning when I came by I found this post # 23 by EGEM where the quoted text from my original post was changed to 

That actually made me laugh,  "exaggerating for effect " , otherwise known as disseminating  "exaggerating for effect ".
I'm amazed you can keep a straight face when saying that...

This change to my quoted text propagated to each reply to her post #26 #34

For that I issued a 2 point warning and restored the original text of her post and two other quoted posts


She obviously still denies this happened even though in a PM to me she replied as follows...

I encourage you to continue posting on other topics, but continual denial and questioning of decisions will be removed...

Oh good lord. I have no recollection of doing that, but if I did do it clearly it was a mistake as it makes zero sense. And if I did do it , why not bring it to my attention at the time?

I would like to leave this forum please. I will log out now. Please delete my account.

So thats what happened...  and there is where it should be left.  EGEM could have accepted the warning and move on, but she chose not to...

Wow that must have been really upsetting for you.  

Oh I see you deleted my post - I guess you don't like any criticism about how things are run even when it is justified.

[Magoo]

drama queens. pffft had a post removed.
ive been to 80% warning levels, had multiple posts removed and several warnings.
probably deserved more
admin has been very patient. they dont want the histrionics. i cannot speak for all but im not interested in seeing every thread descend into left or right, socialist or communist, and the silly name calling Taxcinda, Beijing Biden etc.
if you are going to sling insults make them your own.
nowhere does this site claim to be a forum for political debate or free speech. admin has no responsibility to answer to anything, and does so at your behest out of fairness and transparency.

at times like this i seek comfort, and solace in haiku

bolshy fucken noobs
no decorum less manners
eviscerate them.

Suggestions and feedback are welcome in the appropriate forum HERE.  If you have constructive suggestions for how we could do things better, that is the place to note them

Whingeing about the current membership levels of this board at every opportunity is not feedback, or even criticism, it is just whingeing...

The rules are HERE, please familiarise yourself with Rule 9...

Looks like you got your wish today @Wainuiguy, anyone seeing Red?

[Magoo]

yes and ive had a wee gander at what that means.
its not really a huge imposition. mask wearing *sigh*
distancing etc, but not lockdown.
im ok with it.
