The member is Neighbourly admins...
Their continual inconsistent application of rules and complete lack of common sense when apply them.
Your removal of my message about tv shows being affected by current overseas events is completely unjustified.

You are claiming it is not relevant to my community,.....

First of all, do you live in my community? Do you have any idea what goes on here? Didn't think so...



The shows in question are on multiple TV platforms here in New Zealand.... they are watched by myself and many members of my community. So the entertainment that is enjoyed by my neighbours and myself and the possibility of changes to or cancellation of this entertainment is against the rules to be discussed here??

Is that what you telling me?

I await with baited breath at your explanation, as do many on neighbourly I suspect.



For full disclosure this and subsequent correspondence will be posted in the public forum.

Building 101: So you want to build a sleep out...

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.
Turns out it's not quite as simple as a … View more
