Good evening, welcome to Backchat.

On Backchat, you are free to share your own stories, discuss other news or catch up with friends. To participate you’ll need to sign up for a Disqus account which is free, quick, and easy.

On posts that are not articles like this one, you do not have to stay ‘on topic’ but you do still need to follow our commenting rules.

Please read our rules before you start commenting on the BFD to avoid a temporary or permanent ban.

NOTE: Moderation queries MUST be expressed VIA EMAIL and not by posting a comment.

To check if your ban might have been caused by Disqus, or to ask for a banning decision to be reviewed, email the voluntary helpdesk @ thebfd.co.nz with your Disqus username in the subject line. Please be respectful and do not make demands.
