Somehow all the sudden started receiving emails which I never signed up for and don't live near in the same state the updates are coming from Ridiculous!
I had my account suspended without violating the community guidelines or any other agreed upon terms of serviceI was methodically threatened and harassed by another userWhen I attempted to stand up for myself after being publicly shamed my account was suspended without warning or noticeWhen I was unable to login I emailed customer supportI received a response explaining that my account was suspended for posting a personal disputeIt was the other person who had a person disputeThe letter from customer support was demeaning, insisting that I email back on a specific date with an apology and a promise to read the guidelinesThe comment of mine that led to all of this was critical of a local business and its refusal to perform a recall repair on a vehicle it had sold meI believe that this entire event is an attempt to silence my criticism and is an active ploy to discourage my participation in public criticism of a business that may be advertising with NextDoor
A man found our neighbor's information through the NextDoor app and used that information to send her threats and stalk herShe went to court and was issued a restraining order against this manNextDoor has refused to remove him from the platform or offer blocking services, putting her safety at risk
Misleading advertising Received card in mail from what appeared to be a neighbor First and last name, street name (no street #), subdivision name, city, state, zip Thing is no one with that name lives on that street I had to wonder how many people in the neighborhood fell for the scam
Particularly did not like the use of "Our neighborhood" when it's not Nextdoor.com's neighborhood
*** *** ** * *** *** *** If you do not agree with HIS opinion, or you have the audacity to post anything in the NLF that is not all 'sugar and spice' about how Nextdoor runs things, they ban you Funny thing - they make a big deal about NOT publicly shaming your neighbors but, if you are banned, your profile picture becomes something akin to the Scarlet Letter - big, bold and in red for everyone to see Pot / kettle, anyone?
The privacy concerns of many members are valid and Nextdoor is simply turning a bling eye in its efforts to have members (numbers) for potential investors This is why it is so difficult to actually delete your account (you almost have to ask permission from Nextdoor); by only deactivating, you are still a number in the total headcount to investors Your information is readily available to anyone in your neighborhood to export - even though Nextdoor says this is not allowed They have taken no steps to prevent this from happeningThe original idea was novel, but it is quickly becoming nothing more than a 'lost puppy hotline' and *** ***, with bullies - from the top down - running the show
I'm not being given the same access to this source for recommendations in my area as others and I believe it's very unfairThe area lead Susan that is putting my account on restriction, is assuming that everything I ask a recommendation for has to do with my Investment BusinessI recently asked for a recommendation for a local realtor to help my husband and I to purchase another home as we've outgrown ours hereThe market here is very hot, so I really need to be in contact with someone local and who others can recommend, since most times you'll need to find a home before it hits the market to be successfulI've been tagged multiple time and kicked off, even though I'm a lead myselfIt's unfair to assume that every time I ask for a painter, landscaper, realtor, etcit's for my businessI own a home myself in SW Arlington and should be able to access recommendations from my community just as everyone else is able toThe fact that I rehab and restore homes should have nothing to d
Nextdoor has guidelines members are required to follow, while Leads moderate conversations, but some Leads don't follow the guidelines, abuse their power, harass members and are not properly vetted and suited for the jobI personally experienced such behaviore from Lead,*** *** on several occasions, most recently on October 20, and October 21, when she harassed me with private messages in a row ordering me, making fun of me, being sarcastic and threatening meI have reported her to Nextdoor and they have left this unprofessional inappropriate person in her job leaving members like myself feeling intimidated and unsafeTo support my claim that Nextdoor doesn't properly vett Leads and respond appropriately to members concerns by removing inappropriate Leads I'm including two concerning comments I received on October 21, at 3:PM and 3:PM when Lead Elyse Mize sent me private messagesShe indicates she knows I reported her, which should be confidential, and
I was an advocate for this app until they falsely accused me of using it for business purposes incorrectly...we are local art supporters...we p sted many events that we were not connected to on any level except for enjoyment in knowing we support local artists...but I was locked out of my account without any explanation....when I reached out to them...I was told to uninstall and reinstall the app in a specific order on my phone...as prompted I did as requested without availAfter reaching back out to them I was informed that my account was put on limited use...because I was selling art thru the posts...which was completely false...after several emails back and forth with their consistaint accusations...I have deactivated and deleted the app...this is a horrible app to use they are bias and will not address the issues of accusations...I have asked for an apology with no avail
I am the Town Manager for a municipality in MarylandNextdoor sent a fraudulent mailing to our residentsThe mailing used a name and address of a resident in our Town without her knowledge and claimed that she was using and advocating for their serviceIt is completely disingenuous and falseA company should never use a resident's name without prior approvalIt is a scam and they asked residents to join by entering an email
I wanted to say this site was great until I realized the community leaders don’t bother with answering questions or clarifying why some people are allowed to do things that other people
Are reported for, a perfect example was cleaning companies It seems like they have favoritism and some neighbors spam the site with their services while other neighbors aren’t allowed to do so We are in a Elk Grove California where some neighbors are misogynists and bash women and when it’s brought to the attention of the leads- nothing is done It’s pretty sad, *** is a
Much better platform
Do not sign up for NextDoorIt is not safeThey do NOT verify names and addresses per their terms of service, or else something is very wrong with the verification proceduresThis is strange, given that the #complain here is "NextDoor says they could not verify my account"!
I got sucked into an HOA situation in an adjoining neighborhood by trying to be helpfulI tried to help a resident find the best Internet service for themAs it turned out, the person I was corresponding with by private message turned out to be running a fake account - and dozens more fake accountsAPPARENTLY (and I can only say apparently, because it is impossible to know what to believe on NextDoor) this person is angry at their HOA, harasses board members day and night, etcTheir main beef is that somebody was caught charging multiple Bird Scooters in their parking garage nightlyThey want this person punished!
According to the HOA President (if it IS the HOA President...) whom I exchanged private messages with, the situation is resolved - the outlets were removedThe HOA may or may not try to fine the person who did itBut this troll kept coming back, posting the identical photos of Bird scooters being charged, again and again, under different fake accounts(Does anybody really believe that some parents inflicted the name "*** ***" on their child? And that there should also just HAPPEN to be an "*** ***", who posts in succession to "***"s, posts?
This person even faked multiple profiles of personnel from the news department of a local TV station, AND solicited individuals about "doing a story", about this or that crime that was posted (and that may or may not have actually occurred.)
At one point, the faker put up a photo of ME - which they apparently found on the Internet - on one of their fake profilesNextDoor did deactivate that account and after further prompting (should NOT have required further prompting!) removed the photo of myself(NextDoor does not normally DELETE accounts - they only DEACTIVATE them...)
There have been many ridiculous situations posted that test believabilityA hit-and-run accident, with accompanying photo an unoccupied car with a license plate showing(Supposedly taken by the victim's friend who was riding bicycles with her)A sob story about a cat whose owner had died, over the period of a month, an adoptee was arranged (of course, the animal should have been taken to a shelter...) and then at the last minute the cat had been given away by another neighborSuch is NextDoor today, that even cat stories have to be taken with a grain of saltCrime stories have to be viewed with suspicionThis person is able to apparently create accounts at will, using any name, including the usual sexually-suggestive ones you'd expect from Beavis and Butthead or The Simpsons(*** ***? *** ***? Nextdoor: at check against a list of the obvious ones!)
Here's the scary thing: if somebody angry at his HOA can create dozens of accounts to harasses his HOA, that means that as well, criminals, "The Russians", or anybody else wanting to sow turmoil in neighborhoods can do soAnd apparently with easeDon't buy the promises of safetyDon't be tempted to give your personal information to a company that does not have the means to make good on the promises about safety that they have madeBest guess: there's probably an IPO coming upBet the signup numbers are looking GREAT!
I live in a townhome community of units We have a pool but no clubhouse or other central gathering place, so people don't know each other well enough in my opinion So I started the Nextdoor service in my community and it has gone well for a couple years now I wish we had better participation----only about one-third of our units belong--but we have a number of elderly owners who don't have computers or, if they have them, don't care to use them We also have a number of rental units; we allow them to join but they tend not to We have found it useful for publicizing info from the community's Board of Directors, as well as the usual lost dogs, items for sale, contractor recommendations, and area crime heads-ups Our city police use it to announce their periodic "Coffee with a Cop" meetingsWe make clear that Nextdoor is not an arm of the Board of Directors, so we don't have anyone calling out a member for some real or imagined transgression on this forum They know to take that sort of complaint to our property manager So, it's worked well for us
I have been disappointed by Nextdoor's "selective" user guidelines and monitoring practices for some time nowI was horribly harassed and stalked by two different persons over some political issuesDespite multiple attempts to get some resolution from Next-door they didn't even bother to get back to meThe perpetrators broke just about every Next-door rule multiple times, and yet I was left to fend for myselfIt was so bad that we considered hiring a lawyerWe even installed a second security system in our home because of itIt was quite obvious to me that Next-door was taking a political stance against the particular citizen's committee of which I am a member, and that they appeared to favor persons connected to a big money Bay Area developer who does not even live in our communityIt was a big disappointment and shock to residents who saw the exchanges on what they thought was supposed to be a safe "neighborhood" venueMany of us also got the impression that subscribers were randomly suspended or removed from next-door for very minor infractions, while others who consistently committed severe policy violations were allowed to remain undeterredUse this site with extreme cautionYou're on your own if you have a problem with it
Nextdoor suspends accounts for reasons that they don't explain to the account holderIt is random and violates the first amendment.after the Santa fe school shooting I posted my email to the school super intendant and a discussion erruptedI also told people that praying isn't enough that we need to take actionsIf that is enough to get my account suspended that is like living in a autocrazy with censorshipI demand answers and explanation
NextDoor in the Highlands/Cherokee Park area (Louisville) is dominated by a small contingent of leftists who personally and savagely attack anyone who expresses a contrary point of viewThese people are elitist and not an insignificant number are, I believe, soft racistsWhen a parent posted about the Jeff Co Pub Schools being unresponsive to a complaint about a teacher, I suggested that greater choice and even vouchers would permit parents of minority and economically disadvantaged children to achieve better developmental outcomes and a frothing contingent "reported" me to NextDoorWhen, in response, I conducted a NextDoor poll asking whether the site should promote (yes/no) a "free, open exchange of ideas on community issues so long as the dialogue is respectful" I was assaulted with some of the most vitriolic commentary I've ever seen on blog site for being political in raising that issueOne of the people who attacked me, incredibly, is a minister in the Episcopal Church in the Metro Louisville area, who when I suggested his very ugly comments were un-Christian accused me of "playing the Christian card." Priestly garments and persona, I guess, are checked on the way out of the church NextDoor is poisonous to civil dialogue and community amity
