House Comment and Contributions Policy

Welcome to New Zealand Petanque Wiki. (NZPW)

This website is made available so that

readers may add information (on topic)

for the benefit of others.

The views expressed in comments

or contributions of this website are

the sole

responsibility of the author (s) and do

not reflect the views of the webmaster, Boules to You

or the transmitter.

If you find a post, which may in your

opinion be offensive or in any way

contravene the policy outlined below.

Please send an email to tom@bindu-design.co.nz

Include the original web address URL and

paste the comment into the body of the

email.

It is not possible for me to monitor

or read all posts. I do, however, have a

general commenting policy and by posting

a comment on NZPW , you acknowledge

it and agree to follow it.

 

• Comments that include profanity

  or personal attacks or other

  inappropriate comments or material

  will be removed from the site.

  Additionally, entries that are

  unsigned or contain "signatures" by

  someone other than the actual author

  will be removed. Finally, NZPW will

  take steps to block users who

  violate any of our posting

  standards, terms of use or privacy

  policies or any other policies

  governing this site. Please review

  the full rules governing

  commentaries and discussions.

• All e-mail received by NZPW

  is considered intended for

  publication unless otherwise

  indicated in the initial message

  from the writer. Please don't send

  attachments unless approved.

• NZPW reserves the right to

  edit all e-mail and posted

  comments for content, clarity,

  and length.

• Bandwidth is expensive. The

  comment space is reserved for

  comments that relate to the topic of

  the post . You may not reprint

  lengthy text from your own works or

  those of others, including news

  articles. You may link to them.

• Comments that are abusive,

  offensive, contain profane or racist

  material or violate the 

  terms of service for this

  Wiki's host provider will be removed

  and the author(s) banned from future

  comments.  It is far easier for NZPW

  to ban an offending commenter than

  to get reinstated by the software

  censors.

• All points of view are welcome

  on NZPW , with the following

  exception:

• NZPW will limit  the

  commenter as "chatterer," loosely

  defined as one who both holds

  opposing views from those expressed

  by NZPW and

Posts numerous times a day with the

intent of dominating, re-directing

or hijacking the thread; or

Posts numerous times a day and

insults or calls other commenter's

names or repeatedly makes the same

point with the effect of annoying

other commenter's.

• Name-calling, personal attacks,

  racist comments or use of profanity

  by any commenter, whether they are

  by persons who agree or disagree

  with the views expressed by  NZPW

  will not be tolerated and will

  result in the deletion of the

  contribution and the banning of the

  commenter's ISP

  address, without notice.

• Anonymous contributions should

  identify themselves with the same

  moniker, so readers know their

  comments are coming from a single

  individual. If they don't, they are

  subject to a banning.

• Quotes from material appearing

  on  NZPW with attribution are

  allowed.

• NZPW is a personal site.

  It is not the Government. It is not

  public institution or a media

  organisation. It reserves the right

  to limit comments to those that, in

  its view, comport with its stated

  comment policy. Contributions that do not

  comply are subject to deletion and

  banning of the author's

  ISP.

Disclaimer:

• Reading and posting comments at  NZPW

  constitutes acknowledgment of

  and agreement to the terms outlined

  in this contribution and comment policy. This comment

  policy may be revised in part or in

  full at any time

• All comments must comport with

  applicable New Zealand and International laws.

  NZPW has no obligation to

  monitor, edit, censor, or take

  responsibility for contributions and comments. It may

  or may not act upon a violation of

  its comment policy once a suspected

  violation has been brought to its

  attention. Therefore, commenter's

  are solely responsible for the

  content of their comments and should

  ensure that that their comments are

  lawful and fall within the stated

  guidelines of NZPW .

• NZPW is

  not responsible for injury or

  liability to any reader or commenter

  resulting from its own

  communications or those of

  commenter's, that may be offensive,

  misleading, inaccurate, illegal, or

  otherwise unsuitable in the view of

  the reader. Readers and commenter's

  further agree to indemnify and hold

  harmless  NZPW from claims

  resulting from the use of any

  material appearing on  NZPW

  which damages the reader, commenter

  or any other party.

  for and might disagree with material
