General questions or discussions directed specifically at r/NewZealanders are allowed (e.g. ‘what’s your favourite coffee roaster’ or ‘where can I buy quality jeans?’).
To discuss unrelated links & how they affect/relate to NZ, please use a self-post. Self posts must include how the link affects/relates to NZ - not just the link.
An article/piece posted by a NZ website on a non-NZ matter would also qualify for removal.
No posting or collation of personally identifiable information of other users. Those breaching rule 2 will receive a 30 day ban.
Don't attack the person; address the content you disagree with instead. Being able to disagree and discuss contentious issues is important, but abuse, personal attacks, harassment, and unnecessarily bringing up a user's history are not permitted.
Please keep your interactions with others civil and courteous. If you are being attacked, do not continue the conversation - report the user and disengage.
Note: This extends to people outside of r/nz
Any posts that attack, threaten, or insult a person or group on the basis of national origin, ethnicity and/or colour, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability and so on may be removed at a mod's discretion and the user banned
If a submission has already been submitted (even from another source) the new post will be removed. If you are reporting a post for breaching rule 5, please include a link to the original in the comments of the duplicate post. Links with substantial new information may be left at mod's discretion.
Link Posts with editorialised headlines may be removed.
If the headline changes the mod team will use its discretion to allow, remove or flair the post appropriately.
Posting an article as a self post and changing the title will be viewed as skirting the rules.
Bots and accounts made for a specific purpose will be banned unless a prior arrangement has been made with the mods. NB: This does not include throwaways.
If you claim to be a prominent Kiwi, or are acting in any official capacity for a significant company, please message the mods with proof of your identity, or you run the risk of being banned.
No crowdfunding (including charity), research or petitions / signature gathering. Exceptions may be made for university projects with ethics approval, or for government / council open consultations.
No advertising / promotion, affiliate URLs, or social media spam. Exceptions may be made for genuine subreddit engagement.
You can request an exception by contacting the moderators. Failure to abide will result in removal and a potential ban for repeated offences.
Moderators have discretion to take action on users or content that they think is: trolling; spreading misinformation; intended to derail discussion; intentionally skirting rules; or undermining the functioning of the subreddit (this can include abuse of the block feature or selective history wiping).
Political memes and low-quality memes or image posts will be removed. This includes pictures of websites, newspapers, or video where the primary purpose is to share the content of an article.
Pictures are permitted when highlighting something within the format, such as humorous article / ad placement. If the humour is subtle, please make a comment explaining it.
Hot-takes or contentious questions designed to provoke ire should not be posted. Serious and controversial topics should be discussed civilly & respectfully.
Low effort questions such as "where should I go visit" or "should I move to nz" will be removed.
