Welcome to our forum
Discussion forum ground rules
Our aim is to provide a space where young people can talk about issues
and ideas to do with being a young person in Aotearoa New Zealand
today. There’s a public forum and some restricted access forums for
people involved in or supporting young people in our Aotearoa Youth
Voices projects.
This
is your space to have a say. Just remember, everyone's entitled to
their opinion and some of us will have varying opinions, so do respect
each other's right to have their say.
If you’re new to forums you can:
- check out the “frequently asked questions”
- have a play in the “sandbox” before you post something for real.
Before participating in our forums, you must read and accept these rules:
- If you're going to create (or reply to) a topic, keep it relevant. Topics that are irrelevant will be deleted.
- Posts
should be about the topic, not about the people posting it. Posts
should never harass, embarrass or threaten other users. Anyone
consistently attacking another member or members will be banned
- This
discussion forum has a moderator who has the right to edit, censor or
delete any messages posted. The plugging of particular viewpoints is
not acceptable.
- Do not post about being deleted, email us to find out why you've been deleted on youthvoices@myd.govt.nz
- You will be provided with a warning before you are banned and you will be given a second chance.
- Obscene,
pornographic or violent posts will be deleted. These will also be
treated seriously and passed onto the appropriate authorities.
- A member should not impersonate another member. The impersonating identities will be deleted.
- Do
not give out your personal details online, remember that people can say
whatever they like about themselves and it may not always be the truth.
Keep your wits about yourself and who you divulge details too. For

- Don't post simply to complain about someone else's spelling and grammar.
- Avoid
posting in all CAPS or MiXeD CaPs. All CAPS is considered shouting
online and mixed caps post are hard to read and are likely to be
ignored.
