MUTING unwanted postings
I wanted to MUTE this North Island influx of comments, so I selected the ellipses and was shown two options.
I selected Mute user.
My screen was then showing
Sorry Don
You can't see this profile because it's not in one of your nearbye neighbourhoods.
This reply was totally irrelevant and annoying.
I didn't need or want to be informed that the post was from outside my neighbourhood. I already knew that.
I wanted to stop the unwanted posts from another UNSELECTED neighbourhood appearing in my inbox.
I don't want to see what North Island posters are posting,
I have the soclaiming Moderators tell us that they don't want too many posters.
Well the soclaiming Moderators can reduce the number of posts if it upsets them so much by getting these uncalled and undesired postings able to be MUTED.
Of course this presupposes that NEIGHBOURLY's use of the word "MUTE" user was showing their ignorance of the meaning of the word "MUTE" which means "not audible" for "not visible."
It smacks of that joke a historic time ago, the professor entered onto his Commodore 16 computer, "out of sight, out of mind" and was surprised when the screen response was, "INVISIBLE IDIOT." What more needs to be said of those who have no interest in improving this website. ?!?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Premature theft
Increasing the cost of fuel in anticipation before any actual justification I regard as blatant premeditated theft.
The CEO's who condone this premature theft for their share holders BEFORE they have any justified reasons will not be so quick and prematurely reduce the price when the situation is reduced.
Nor if the situation is quickly restored will they arrange payback if they have over reacted.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
