Yesterday you pointedly ignored several requests that you address the issue of people using the identities or nics to impersonate other posters to post inflammatory and derogatory comments which not only kick the hornet’s nest but make life on the site pretty uncomfortable for the real owner of the abused identity.

What happened to the old system of posting the original sign-on nic with whatever new nic is used?
Why was it changed?
It seems it was obviously a conscious decision your part.

Your silence and Nikita’s comment the other day about it being a democracy… whatever that means… leaves little room but to accept the conspiracy theorists that this change was a management decision to empower the trouble-makers in an effort to drive up your decreasing monthly hits.

Some have speculated that your staff members are in fact guilty of this ‘crime’. I dismissed this as passing the buck, but perhaps they have a point after all.

There is also the problem of people registering several nics about which I appreciate there is little you can do but that is not half as annoying as people using the current identities of current members to stir up controversy.

This is not right or fair or ‘democratic’. In real life democracies it is illegal to impersonate anyone else. Surely the most basic of your responsibilities is to protect the identities/nics/personas of your members.

What a pity that you have decided to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I have always defended the fact that you have allowed full and robust debate with little censorship but this new low (even for you) low-road approach you seem to have adopted (in the absence of any comment or effort to sort the problem by you) leave me very disappointed in the site in general and you in particular.

This approach may attract hits in the short-term but you are underestimating the ill-feeling it is causing and you will lose hits and members in the long-term.

It seems you do not appreciate that while you created this site and facilitate the discussion on it… it is the many members who participate upon it that MAKE the site what it is.

I signed up with your site when you started it but I am no longer willing to tolerate the implied arrogance your position suggests, or participate any longer in this farce, so will vote with my feet. I will post this comment several times to ensure you can’t say you did not see it and then withdraw from the site. I may reconsider if and when such time as you have addressed the issue and returned the posting protocol to what it used to be with someone’s original identity always being visible to all. I know I am only one person and you may well ridicule my stance but hey… so what.

Cheers to all the decent people on this site, many of whom are very knowledgeable, intelligent, humourous and entertaining. I would suggest that everyone who disagrees with KEO’s low-life approach also leave the site but obviously you must all do what you feel is right for you.

Cheers

ufo…

over and out…

a casino?

serving people (yes sir no sir) all day long can make you bitter. its bearable if you do it for a short while in your varsity years because you know its a means to an end and can even be character building.
i worked in the service industry as a waiter for a while and i farking hated it, i quickly came to loath the people i would make fake smiles at and knew i had to get out and quickly because it wasn’t who i was.

once you get stuck there and ten years go by…. well… i can just imagine his bitterness.

all speculation of course as regards poppa.

this relationship has run its course

i accept there is no love here

i am moving on

i suggest you do the same

i am on my side of the blog.

please stay on yours

@Hurricane-55:
hi hurri,
please, dont let me get to you. i will not refrain from telling the truth but i will stop telling it as much.

you can tell if a kick missed at Eden Park NZ while sitting watching the game in the Republic of SA?

hahahaha. pathetic, and shows how deep the hurt is. people say I need medication, but you have stolen that crown.

I understand though, you were probably born late 70s, early 80s, so have only seen the Bokke beat the ABs 12 times in your lifetime.

it shows

@keo-2:
lol
As for you mentioning Cory Jane, i have noticed his name has popped up in a few of your posts.
He could be one of the best all round wingers we have had. He has all the skills, his kicking, recieving and defence and especially his attacking skills with a second to none fend off is something few wingers have. I cant wait to see him back in black again.

Donald’s kick missed did it? and you know this how? because the linesman both agreed it went over? because the scoreboard had 3 points added to it?

Donald’s kick missed. hahahahahaha

you are a sad muppet, but great to see Te hurt is now at the cellular level.

this is going to provide many mirthful moment for years to come.

The old saying regarding “the size of the fight in the dog” is always going to surface when one compares a gifted gutless athlete to a virtual mongrel that will give his all and then some for the team he plays for…..

Spies is a passenger for both Boks and Bulls and has been for the last 2-3 seasons…..whereas Daniel has become the driving force behind the Sharks with shows of heroic ferocity far beyond his size.

Everyone seems to think that Daniel is too small to cut it at international level. Funny……no-one told Niel Back that when he powered England to the 2003 World Cup win. He was utterly brilliant……all over the park, tackling his heart out, stealing ruck ball and generally making an incredible nuisance of himself!

All this when he’s physically shorter and lighter than Keegan Daniel??

I’m totally with Keo on this one……give Daniel an extended run. Let him prove one way or the other that he can either cut it at this level….or not! Guaranteed that during this time period you will not receive less from him than you would from our most capped show pony……Spies!!

Heyeneke, with no previous experience as an international coach, will find it just as difficult as all newcomers would.
