It could be a great tool and I guess for some it may even be helpful but there are people on the site that are leads... in charge of monitoring the site... if you only have one lead it's difficult to keep the threads on topic and it gets nasty and sometimes vicious. One lead actually private messaged me to taunt me about a stalker and called another woman fat... he's still the lead the site didn't think this was enough to remove him... they told me he was warned... I wouldn't join didn't get anything out of it.

Nothing but problems when I moved. In addition to the problems of linking my business with a different email address. After getting the linking resolved, I moved and can't access the business page at all, no matter what browser I use. I can only access my personal page with Chrome, Opera browser keeps taking me to the business page that is stuck in a loop asking to claim the business, then saying it's already claimed. Can't switch between accounts in Chrome, the option is not there.
Customer service is entirely through email and it takes days to accomplish anything. It's truly a love-hate relationship with this app because I do get a lot of business through it!

I go by T. L. Lastname and my account was deactivated b cuz they said I didn't use my real name Tamra L. Lastname.
They didn't notify me nor I did not violate their policy terms.

"Not allowed:
Using initials or an abbreviated version of your LAST NAME is always prohibited

Noteable exceptions:
We recognize that some people are primarily known by something other than their given first name:
It would be acceptable for the catcher of the San Francisco Giants to use the name "Buster Posey" rather than Gerald Posey, the name on his birth certificate.
It would be acceptable for the football player "J. J. Watt" to use his initials as his first name, since that is how he introduces himself."

I bought my house 18 years ago and already know my neighbors. This app is a hysterical. Don't waste your time.

I absolutely love Nextdoor.com. This is a great idea for neighbors that live in the same vicinity to get to know each other. It's frustrating to read so many negative complaints on here about Nextdoor. People need to understand that Nextdoor is a private company and has a set of guidelines that we all agree to when we join. It's really very simple to follow their guidelines and treat each other with kindness. I have been a member and Lead for 6 years and started 3 neighborhoods and have never been suspended or disciplined for anything because I treat all members with respect. I, like many others, spend lots of time on the site and find it very enjoyable.

Your actual photo, displayed next to your actual name and actual address.

Followed by your announcement that you're going on vacation. Might as well put out a "Break-in wanted" sign on your front porch.

Enjoy saving the whales? Your anti-whale neighbors will now not only know who to gang up on, the radical zealots of their faction will know exactly where you sleep at night.

Have a nosey neighbor already? Congratulations. Now you have dozens and they now have the ability to file collaborative and false reports against you to the authorities.

Are you a minority of any kind? Are you a Christian? A Muslim? A Jew? Slightly darker or lighter of skin than some of your neighbors? Perhaps it would be easier to paint a target on your forehead or pin a "kick me" sign to your back, since you're basically letting any and all bigots close enough to throw rocks at you know your precise location by joining this network.

Are you a member the NRA? Have a few extra lbs you can't seem to lose, a lisp, tattoos, a bald spot, unatractive children, wear mom jeans, a too-flashy umbrella? Welcome to the wonderful world of profiling, harassment and shaming with a smattering of hate crime on the side.

Not to mention that Uncle Sam can now know your every move, in case he decides he wants us all to work 92 hours a week in his factories for a bag of rice ( Howdy, Chairman Mao!).

This entire concept is absolutely insane and by it's very nature, populated by idiots. Not once, not ever.

When I joined Nextdoor it was mainly letting you know who your neighbors were and if you needed help with something you could post it on Nextdoor asking your neighbors if they could help and you would get several responses from others willing to help without expecting anything. Now your post for help would get buried by all they garage sale or for sale postings. Some people don't know how to add multiple photos to a sales listing, so they create 5 listings for 5 different items. I used to feel safe with Nextdoor but not anymore.
