A 28-year-old diorama depicting a Māori family in pre-colonial times has been partially obscured by the Canterbury Museum following mounting complaints. Is it time to rethink how we portray our history in such exhibits, as well as in our statues and monuments?

As none of the Leads or Admins seem to have answered anyone.... here we go......

The person who creates a thread (the original message you reply to) can disable all replies at any time.... but this is for everyone... and can be done after a message has many replies. The original author can click the three little dots on their original post to disable them.

People who reply to a message only have the ability to edit or delete their reply.

There is no reply option available for replies to replies....
Meaning that if I reply to someone else's reply... no one can reply to me...
To achieve this either reply to the main thread, or the reply button on the reply directly before yours.
And start your message with @members-name, otherwise no one knows who your are replying to.

Examples should become clear as people reply to this.....or not...

Hopefully this was helpful to someone.

Their reasoning for removing my post.... it didn't relate to my community??? W*F!!??!!?
Last I checked those same TV shows are on here in NZ... so yes it affects my community. Many on here are parents and our kids love Paw Patrol!!

Last time I checked this behaviour overseas is having a direct impact on things here in New Zealand.

Neighbourly please explain how has your censorship gone so mad that you are removing posts about kids tv shows???
