We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive community where diverse opinions and viewpoints are valued. Differing perspectives are a natural part of any discussion and are essential for working through problems and finding solutions. We recognize that people come from different backgrounds, hold different values, and may not always agree, but respectful dialogue is key to meaningful conversations.
What is required?
- Treat everyone with kindness and courtesy.
- Respect others’ perspectives, even when you disagree with them.
- Engage in discussions in a constructive, thoughtful, and civil manner.
What is NOT allowed?
- Complaining about a driver, car, food establishment, etc.
- Hate speech, discrimination, or personal attacks. This includes offensive remarks related to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other personal characteristic.
- Bullying, name-calling, harassment, threats, and passive-aggressive behavior.
- Swearing, sexually explicit language, images, or inappropriate content.
- Trolling, taunting, or making posts or comments designed to provoke arguments.
Example of a violation:
- “You’re an idiot if you believe that!” → This is a personal attack and will be removed.
- “That idea doesn’t make sense to me because…” → This is a respectful disagreement and is allowed.
Public service announcements are allowed, such as sharing experiences about local businesses, services, or neighborhood concerns, but posts must be factual, constructive, and not written in a way that could be seen as threatening or passive-aggressive.
If a situation requires law enforcement involvement, please contact the appropriate authorities instead of making threats or accusations in the group.
