Our neighborhood leads - let's call them "G. M." and "C. A." certainly have a power trip with being the neighborhood leads. They pipe in on each thread that is controversial and add their 2 cents or shall I say 25 cents or 50 cents.

Oh my gosh - if you disagree with them, they will instantly remove your post and then most likely follow up with a dissertation of the "guidelines" to show that they have power over YOU. They are bias, "know it all's" who most folks can't stand in the neighborhood and rarely "thank" them for their replies. Every neighbor I know, and there is a lot, just laughs at them. Another lead in the neighborhood is done with NextDoor due to these two clowns.

G. M. Will latch onto a theme within the post and twist it around and go off topic and vomit his liberal views and shove them down your throat. C. A. Will bully you from her couch and slam you in a private message if she doesn't agree with you. She loves to consult with a dictionary to put out her BIG words and make herself feel important and smart. They will often like each other's post so they can validate each other.

NextDoor needs to tighten up the guidelines for who a lead is? When to remove a lead from their role. Better explain how a lead is actually selected. Have some sort of QA mechanism within to monitor these leads and their activity. At this moment, they seem to have all the power and live within their own kingdoms.

We live in a democratic society and these leads should have a one year term and then the neighborhood should vote in a NEW LEAD! Come on Nextdoor - listen to the audience you are serving.

I am the lead for my neighborhood and I was cautious about it at first but it has worked well for us and we have been able to communicate quickly and get things done to make our neighborhood safer. As the lead, I have become the "moderator" and it is a skill set I use in my work as well, so perhaps other neighborhoods don't have "leads" with that skill set and problems escalate? The Nextdoor is a great tool, but like anything else, it can be misused in the hands of a person who wants to be a bully or gets satisfaction from the platform it gives him or her. I recommend the site and can only say good things about the results from my experience.

I recieved threatening messages from the lead for asking a question regarding standing water in a retention pond. Not only was I verbally attacked by the lead and all the old biddy's, who made the middle of an intersection into an illegal park, I started to recieve threatening emails from the Lead! I contacted NEXTDOOR and filed a complaint. They did nothing to her. I have since had damage done to my car! Going to speak to an attorney for the site not being safe and no disciplinary action was taken! She is still threatening people!

Joined a while back and had no problems until the Lead changed. She would not moderate posts and let threads deteriorate into name calling, trolling and bullying. Completely biased in her own politics and deleted posts on neighborhood issues she did not agree with. She refused to follow Nextdoor Guideline in posting attacks of me and others.

Nextdoor is not going to survive and make money on advertising when neighbor's delete their accounts. I wouldn't be surprised if they get hit with some libel/defamation lawsuits. I am considering it.

First of all, this scam of an idea uses all your private info to make a buck or two. However, the biggest problem of all is that it is a place for neighborhood bullies to make control grabs and then try to control people who disagree with them. It is a joke. During my short-lived membership, I watched innocent people get badmouthed and banned by people who badmouth freely. I went to several review sites and read all the horror stories. I am done.

Don't go into this site thinking you're going to enjoy being there. It's great as long as you don't defend yourself or your neighbors when the Nazis harass and belittle you with their bigoted remarks. Without warning, you will be removed from this site after being subjected to slanderous, bigoted statements by 'leads', the moment you defend yourself... White Bridge neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee is awful. Absolutely awful

The app if used for its intended purpose would be great. I agree with many other reviews on here that if you have a different view than the majority you will be ripped apart. A neighbor started a post about my family and when I asked the lead politely and respectfully to remove it due to all the stress it was causing, he flat out said no. The next door moderators refused as well. Stay away from this vile nasty app... You'll save yourself a lot of misery from dealing with nasty mean people.

Because of some complaints from people with certain political views, Nextdoor has shut down posts from those with other views. Funny thing is that Nextdoor ignored those people who used profanity, were nasty and insulting but just shut down those who were polite but had different political views. Nextdoor has a liberal agenda and is out to get your private info and sell it to advertisers. By the way: if you complain about the issues with Next-door to Next-door, Next-door will take it out on you and "punish" you, instead of resolving the issue. Definitely not an pro-American way of life site- very un-American!

This site has become the most damaging and dangerous communications tool I have ever experienced as an Association Manager. A few residents who are angry at just about everything have taken over the site and rant endlessly about the board of directors, the manager, and what happens in the association. They have completely torn apart a wonderful community and have taken control of the site.
The Nextdoor Supervisors do not actively enforce their own code of "neighborly" conduct which allows the leads to get away with turning a blind eye to the hostile, negative posts.
