Community guidelines

Neighborhood Today only works if it stays a place people are comfortable putting their real name. These are the rules moderators enforce.

Be a neighbor, not an account

Use a name people on your block would recognize. No impersonation, no anonymous pile-ons.

Post things that are actually local

Plans, listings, and asks should be relevant to the neighborhood you're posting in. National politics, spam, and mass advertising get removed.

Keep it safe

No harassment, slurs, threats, or targeting individuals. No weapons, drugs, alcohol, live animals, recalled goods, or anything illegal in the Marketplace.

Handle exchanges carefully

Meet in public where you can, bring someone if a meeting feels off, and never share financial details in a conversation. Neighborhood Today does not process neighbor-to-neighbor payments.

Respect the record

Directory corrections should be verifiable. Don't edit a business's listing to advertise your own.

Use the tools

Report a post instead of arguing with it, and block someone if you'd rather not see them again. Reports go to neighborhood moderators, not to the person you reported.

What happens when something is reported

A moderator reviews the post and either leaves it up, removes it, or restores it if it was removed in error. Removed posts stay visible to their author with a note, so nobody is left guessing.
