Comments policy reminder

From Think Papanui’s curator Simon Britten:

One of the nice things with Think Papanui has been the positive engagement by the local community and the very low frequency that comments need to be moderated. A reminder though that insulting/offensive comments etc will be deleted and repeat offenders may be blocked from the page. Maybe there’s something in the water as the last few days have had a number of such examples across several posts. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has better things to do with a long weekend that deal with this. Here’s a photo of my wildflower meadow front garden for your enjoyment. Have a great weekend everyone. ^Simon
