All members of this forum have a right to participate without having private or personal information released by others. Personal information (for example name, address, or occupation) must not be posted on this site without the subject's permission, or against their wishes.

Problems, disputes, help or site requests
Please contact Simon or Janine @ NZMS if you require help, have a site related problem or dispute or have a request about something on the site.

Multiple personalities/logons
Only one account per person is allowed. Creation of aliases will result in the second account merged with the first. Also, there will be an automatic 2 week sin-binning unless a valid reason can be provided. Exceptions are:

• having separate accounts for work and home. You must identify which is which
• business accounts. A personal account is highly recommended should you wish to participate in general discussions not related to your business

Business/Industry accounts
For people or businesses that wish to be recognized as being involved in the Heritage Industry or Related Areas it is possible create an account to reflct this.  We strongly suggest that a second account be registered that can be used to keep personal opinions and conversations separate from business.

Private messages
Private messages are just that, private. PMs must not be quoted in public without the sender's permission.

Deleting threads
The originator of a thread may request that a thread they started be deleted. They should contact Simon or Janine and provide a reason.
