  1. No automated cross posting from Twitter, RSS, or other services.
  2. No spam (blatant advertising without relevant thoughtful content).
  3. No impersonating other people
  4. Descriptions required for images and video (ALT tag) to support those with sight issues.
  5. In the event of a dispute, site administrators' decisions are made on a good faith basis (informed by the NZOSS Code of Conduct) and are final.
  6. Challenge ideas, respect individuals.
