Community Rules

These rules keep our community safe and welcoming for everyone.

1

The Golden Rule

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Respectful interaction is required at all times. No discrimination based on race, gender, religion, orientation, or any other protected class. Bullying, harassment, and personal attacks will not be tolerated.

2

Admin / Mod Discretion

Moderators reserve the right to remove any content or member that violates community standards. Moderator decisions are final. If you have concerns, reach out via direct message rather than arguing publicly.

3

Privacy and Sourcing

No unsolicited DMs or spam. Do not share others' personal information (doxxing). When sharing news or claims, provide verified sources. Screenshots should have personal info redacted unless the person has given consent.

4

Pet Protocol

No rehoming or puppy sale posts. Missing pet posts are welcome and encouraged — help reunite pets with their families. For rehoming needs, please contact local shelters and rescue organizations.

5

Assistance Requests

For assistance needs, please use the community Resource Guides first. No direct cash requests or GoFundMe-style posts. If you know of resources that can help, share them in the comments.

6

Employment Guidelines

Job postings must include a description of the role, expected hours, and wage or salary range. No MLM or pyramid scheme recruitment. Remote work opportunities must clearly state so.

7

Small Business Advertising

Only registered businesses may advertise. Prime members may post once daily. All business posts must be clearly identified as such. No bait-and-switch or misleading promotions.

8

Real Estate

Real estate listings belong in pinned threads only. Do not create standalone posts for property sales, rentals, or roommate searches. Check the pinned threads for the appropriate place to post.

9

Recommendations

When asking for recommendations, include your budget and relevant details so the community can help effectively. No negative reviews or call-outs of specific businesses — use review platforms for that.

10

Nonprofits

Registered nonprofit organizations may post about their events and services once daily. Must include nonprofit status and relevant details. Fundraising posts should link to the official organization page.
