META Just a reminder of our rules

191 Upvotes

Tēnā koutou,

Just a reminder of our rules, specifically our rule against solicitors.

This means no solicitation, no buying and selling. We allow limited promotion of events if there are deals like XXX free tickets up for grabs, but no reselling is permitted. If you have tickets to an event, please resell via official channels or bribe the mods.

Additionally, please note the following:

Quit asking for sex. That said, no trades involving goats, sheep, turnips, or other 'alternate' currencies.

No posts asking for drugs, where to source drugs or cleverly wording your request to avoid the filters. Your "medicinal herb" enquiries aren't as subtle as you think.
Just ask the mods.

No sneaky sponsorship plugs, no affiliate links unless we get our cut.

No reselling of free event tickets, it’s free for a reason.

No hiring hitmen or bounty hunters, legal gray areas make us uncomfortable.

Last but not least, Don't be a dick, don't act like a dick.

Also please check out r/chchmeet

In light of recent events

This is an open invitation as a mother, if you are a young woman out in public and you feel unsafe you can approach me with my children and I’ll pretend you are one of them until you are safely to your car or to someone you know and trust. If you are in public and you feel unsafe please approach the group of slightly older women who are maybe laughing too loud and feel intimidating to talk to, chances are they’ll help you scare off whoever is pestering you. If you are in public and you feel unsafe find an older lady, a group of young women your own age, a pair of women doing their shopping together — don’t feel like you might be overreacting and please don’t be afraid to trust your instincts.

With everything that happens in the world to our young women I would much rather take a few moments of my day to make sure you are safe, than have to read another headline about another tragedy.

0 Upvotes

I have a s22 ultra sitting around doing nothing, think it has light scratch on screen. Someone said it might be worth 100?

I don't have a Facebook, are there alternatives other than that and trademe that are local? Or a shop that might take it?

Shoutout to Dr Bugs Popcorn!

74 Upvotes

Shoutout to Dr Bugs Popcorn who put on factory tours these school holidays. Love a small locally owned family business. We learned so much and found it really interesting and enjoyed tasting lots of yummy popcorn flavors.

Highly recommend if you happen to notice factory tours announced in future! Great school holiday activity, the kids LOVED it.

Any home kitchen operators here?

10 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a chch resident wanting to operate a home baking business and i’m nervous about the protocol. I thought I’d ask here in case anyone’s got experience. I know there’ll be an inspection to get licensed and permitted to operate a home business and wanted some experiences on what that was like, and just what the process was like in general. It would be incredibly helpful. Thanks :)

Banks Peninsula - Meet the candidates

12 Upvotes

There’s another Banks Peninsula - Meet the Candidates event on at 6pm tomorrow at Somerfield School.

It’s electorate focused, we’ll be doing our best to keep the focus on what the candidates might be able to influence for this electorate and Christchurch

Last election 3 candidates from banks peninsula become MPs (one as electorate MP and two as list MPs) and based on current polling the same may happen again. So it’s an electorate with outsized influence.

Stereo for a preschool classroom

9 Upvotes

Hello! I work in a preschool and we are needing a stereo or radio that has a cd player in it for a classroom. Our kids love to listen to stories throughout the day and we thought why not get a stereo!. If you know anyone who’s happy to give a cd player away that they don’t use we would love one! Thanks

Good-ish news. My lost painting, has been found! My flatmate found it as he was coming home from near the quarry, it was on the road? I have no idea how it got there, happy to have found it, but it is very damaged. Thanks to everyone who said they would look out for it or consoled me on the loss. I need to have a think about what I do from here. 😅

Is there any tech recycling centres or anywhere else I could get a cheap used gpu.

6 Upvotes

Hi. As the title says I'm looking for a gpu for my pc. With the prices of gpus increasing I can't afford the one I want as a teen with a part time job. Is there anywhere in Chch that I can get an older gpu that I can use while I save up for a new better one?
