Who owns the content on a society page?
Every society page is owned by that society. Its own admins write, publish and keep the content up to date. The Mestri only hosts and displays what the society provides — we do not own that information, and we are not responsible for its accuracy or for how a society deals with anyone who contacts it. Questions about anything on a society page should go to the society itself.
Who can create or edit a society page?
A society page is opened by The Mestri when a society is onboarded. The office bearer named at that point becomes its first admin and can give editing access to others in the society. Mestri staff can edit a page at the society's request, and every change is recorded against the person who made it.
How do I contact a society on The Mestri?
Use the contact form or the phone number on the society's page. Enquiries go straight to the society and they call you back. The Mestri does not answer on a society's behalf, does not sit between you and the society, and takes no commission on anything you agree with them.
What does the “Verified society” badge mean?
It means we have checked that the society is real and that the account managing its page belongs to its office bearers. It is not an endorsement of the society's services, its financial standing or anything published on its page.
Something on a society page is wrong. What do I do?
Raise it with the society first — through the contact form or the discussion board on its page. If a page breaks our Terms of Use, report it to support and The Mestri can take the page off the site.
The discussion board on a society page is open to anyone signed in. Posts there belong to the people who wrote them, and the society can take down a post that appears on its own page.
