House rules

Keep private information private – we want you to stay safe online. Our team of moderators and community managers will never ask for your private information in public.

Respect the community – we encourage debate and engaging discussion between our community members, but the moment it gets personal or offensive, we’ll step in. We encourage our community members to report any abuse to the Neighbourhoot team.

Contribute to the community – ensure you search the community before asking a specific question as it may have already been answered. Make sure your discussion remains relevant to the topic being discussed and give thanks when you have a good experience! You can also reward people with Kudos.

When we’re likely to step in – we endeavour to leave all content and posts as they were published, however in an effort to foster a friendly and appropriate online environment for these contributions to be made and viewed, our team may modify posts that fit the following criteria:

• Offensive, abusive, misleading, deceptive or otherwise inappropriate posts – this includes copyrighted material.
• Off topic or duplicate (multi-posting) / spam content.
• Links to external or unauthorised pages that are considered inappropriate.
• In an effort to protect privacy.
• In any other situation where our team deem it necessary.
