Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.
Hey everyone, thank you for contacting us with the problems you are having at the moment with posting comments.
While you may be told your message has been trashed or disallowed or denied, they are in fact all remaining on site.
So please be patient and your comments will turn up.
We are working on the problem and will have a solution soon.
PS -While we are having this discussion about comments, we have always felt moderated comments were a way to go to avoid trolling. The Internet can be a pretty rude place at times so we wanted to try and reduce that.
How would everyone feel about
a) Direct posts to blogs.
b) Moderation after publishing (if we went down this path we would need volunteer moderators).
c) We are going to start clamping down more on personal abuse between commentators and would like to open up thoughts form you the readers about what you would like to see in terms of comments and what the rules should be.
Please leave comments below. Thoughts on what we will do will be published middle of next month.
Cheers TDB Team
Once again Wake up New Zealand is on the ball.
an article on the GSBC propaganda, not commented on in MSM.
Second article about how Russian tv knows more and exposes more about the real American agenda in September.Once again American MSM says nothing and keeps the public in the dark.
I see the Prime Minister gets to decide when he can delete his texts – http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11513398
The Herald today states that Max Key has been given a job being a consultant on sport ,it seems he is a great baseball player., and wants to help young people get into USA sport fields.
His boss is Crimson consulting run by a 20yr old who has degrees from Harvard , his education came from scholarships and financial assistance in NZ.
How many ordinary young people get this chance?
Maybe Mr Keys influence is mixed up somewhere,the 1% look after their own.
Good luck to Max ,he couldn’t have done it on his own,he still dosnt look happy.
….sorry Australia…more of the same 🙁
While I am an advocate for the right of free speech, I do find Charlie Hebdo’s recent disturbing comments re the refugee crisis, bordering on hate, racism and bigotry. Quite unnecessary, particularly when a child (children) are involved. The insensitive tone of the comments and cartoons, could well fuel the fire of another round of violence towards the publication, perhaps France and the French in general.
