To comment on CRL social media platforms:
We welcome your comments and suggestions under the common-sense guidelines of social media pages of communities and businesses. Please be friendly with no bullying, profanity or otherwise uncivil behaviour. This is not the place to lecture others about their behaviour. Play the issue – not the person. This is a place to discuss the City Rail link project. If you have an issue with CRL Ltd, its employees or contractor associates, this is not the place to air this. Please instead email info@cityraillink.govt.nz and that way, your issue will end up at the right place.
Such common-sense guidelines include no attacks on specific groups or individuals nor any comments meant to harass, threaten or abuse an individual; hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or political beliefs, links or comments containing sexually explicit content material, discussion of illegal activity and blatant commercial promotion.
We would be reluctant to ban anyone but trolls and those who don’t play nicely will be removed include anyone who does not abide by the above. Thank you and we look forward to your positive contributions..
