The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

Some Aucklanders are calling Auckland Council’s hefty $1500 fine for individuals washing their cars with cleaning products on driveways and letting soapy water run into stormwater drains “unfair”.
Thay said the rule was poorly publicised and disproportionately affected individuals rather than major polluters.
“It’s the Kiwi thing to do – wash your car at the front of the house,” said Freemans Bay resident Tony Franklin Ross after learning Aucklanders could face a $1500 fine for washing their cars with cleaning products on their own driveways, with soapy run-off flowing into stormwater systems….

Being run by machines, or people who don't think humanly. Kiwis'R'Us. Harassed, threatened, fined extravagantly.
