Social Media Moderation Policy

We want to help promote useful, safe and compassionate information sharing and conversation on social media. Our page can be a place where people can ask questions and connect with the community. Our moderation policy is manaakitanga for our online communities.

For those reasons, we have a few rules and guidelines for our whare, our online platforms.

We welcome your posts but we do keep an eye on comments. We will use our discretion but reserve the right to delete or hide posts and comments that contain:

  • Inflammatory or hate speech including racism, sexism and religious bigotry
  • Spam, bot posts and the advertising of anything illegal
  • Private contact details of people who haven’t given you permission to share them including staff
  • Abusive or violent language
  • Threats to other people
  • Nuisance or repetitious postings
  • Factually incorrect or deliberately misleading information. This includes misinformation that we know to be untrue and that might scare people or cause worry.

We reserve the right to block and mute any members who go against our whare guidelines.
