Protesting with Christchurch's elders Comments 18 comments

09:33am 02 Feb 2012  Here are my impressions of Wednesday's Just Say No rally protesting Christchurch City Council:   About half of the attendees had grey or white or little hair. I don't call them old. I call them elders - wise, experienced watchers of Christchurch City Council over many decades who lent their mana to the protest because the council has gone astray.

The layout is already good.

I would like to see comments on all stories. Nested comments and voting on comments.

Also I've found stuff very slow to load on a slow connection. A low bandwidth option would be good. Much like what bbc news used to do.

Get rid of anonymous comments. Hiding behind non de plumes and fake names means trolls can post the most vile racist comments. Or is that the point of allowing it? Stop leading with fluff stories. Moderate and update comments faster. Allow reply comments to appear next to the comment referred to.

Get rid of auto play on videos, so annoying.

Drop all `celebrity stories'in the headlines and replace with some real international news, you know international as in not just AUS/UK/USA.You only do African,Eastern,Sth American news if there is a disaster or some political upheaval in these regions.Far more interesting stuff goes on in these places and going by the comments section many `kiwi`s' could do with a more open mind and general knowledge of what goes on in the rest of the world.Or perhaps a feed to Al Jazeera.[Just kidding,but they do international better than you]

Better moderation of comments would enhance things. Providing space for racism, bigotry and narcissism does nothing positive.
