Anyone who is contemplating becoming a member of Nextdoor, do so at your own peril as I found out to my shock recently when out of the blue, my account was de-activated without notice and for no apparent reasonUpon inquiry, I was told that I had violated their Community Guidelines because I had a dispute with one of the Leads and “publicly shamed” her by disagreeing with her in her claim that she had “immediately” edited her taunting and berating comments directed to me on a postMy approximately one year membership on Nextdoor has been one of the worst and traumatic experiences in my life The first red flag went up when upon returning from a vacation last fall, I found to my shock that our house was listed for sale on Nextdoor by some unknown Realtor Sponsor of the Nextdoor siteWhen I posed a simple and polite question to the Realtor through the comments page that was provided as to why he had listed the house, I got an email message from Nextdoor that I had “publicly shamed” the Realtor by asking that questionThe Nextdoor staff’s exact words were: “I understand it can be frustrating when you see your home for sale in a real estate listing when it isn’t for saleHowever, Nextdoor is not a place to publicly shame neighbors or businesses.” To add insult to injury, one of the neighbors made this comment: “ … maybe you should take your house being listed as a sign from whatever higher power you choose to worship that it is time to move.” Ultimately, the way the house listing was removed from the Nextdoor feed was because the Realtor who sold us the house took action and sent a warning letter to Nextdoor to immediately remove the listing, or they would be dealing with his attorneyBefore the current incident with the Lead, there were numerous occasions this past year when I had felt frustrated being on the Nextdoor site and having to endure nasty comments from some neighbors whose sole purpose is to shut down any dissentIn other words, they can say what they want, but if you disagree, they berate and humiliate you publicly through the main feed and through your private message board (PM), and when Nextdoor support is contacted for help, they take days to respond as in the case of a neighbor couple who harassed and bullied me through my PM board recently with disparaging remarks and even asking me to come “face to face” with them, language generally used by bulliesWhen I contacted Nextdoor for help, after two days of silence, I finally got a response from Nextdoor support asking me to go back and engage these bully neighbors and ask them to stop sending me messagesCommon sense dictates that engaging the bully neighbors would mean them lashing back at me againIn essence, Nextdoor wanted me to fend for myself and deal with these difficult neighbors on my ownThe other troubling issue with Nextdoor is the omnipotent powers bestowed on neighbors called “Leads” to make decisions on whose comment can be deleted and whose cannot on a post, no doubt, based on their own biases against, or for a neighborThese “Leads” are no more than other neighbors who are given that title purely based on the number of neighbors they have canvassed to join Nextdoor which is just a minimum number of ten neighborsNextdoor does not conduct background checks on these Leads nor supervise them, and for all intents and purposes they could be criminals and/or have criminal backgroundsIn sum, my experience on Nextdoor has been akin to living in a commune and/or a country under a dictatorship with your freedom of speech stifled, and with the so called Lead neighbors left to their own devices to make decisions for their neighbors without any oversight from Nextdoor managementIf I were to advise another neighbor contemplating joining Nextdoor, I would tell them to stay away from the site and their app if they value their sanity and peace of mindFor me it has not been a pleasant experience to say the least, and I have asked Nextdoor to delete my account so that I can get on with my life and not have to deal with the day in and day out nastiness and drama on the siteGood luck to all who decide to venture into that what I would call a lion’s den hoping to come out unscathed!
Nextdoor suspended my account because in their words, " It seems that some of your neighbors aren’t familiar with any neighbor by the name of
*** *...."
Since I actually know just a handful of my immediate neighbors PERSONALLY in a subdivision with over residents, it is obvious that the "complaint" against me came from a busybody who was searching state or county records and could not find my nameIn this day & age of ID theft, I like my privacy and choose to use my maiden name on social sitesIF Nextdoor actually was concerned with member's privacy, they would understand my concerns
I'VE WRITTEN NEXTDOOR.COM FOUR SEPARATE TIMES TO RESTORE MY ACCOUNT TO SETTINGSCURRENTLY, THEY HAVE ME ON LIMITED ACCESSI AM THE LEAD FOR MY AREA, AND NEED THE SETTINGS RESTORED
I received a letter via email that my name Urban Grass was not a valid name, then they suspended my account and wouldn't answer my emailsThey also lied about other neighbors not knowing me, which is not trueI've lived in my home for over years, and I feel they have treated me differently, and not the same as othersThey did nothing to really find out the truth and take someone word because they felt, my name wasn't real with out checking a few resources such as Google, Facebook or even tax records which are publicI've never had this problem with any media website, my Facebook account is also available for review, if they truly cared about finding out if my name is real all resources would have been used
I cannot get Next Door Neighbor to delete my account permanently and unsubscribe meTheir emails with instructions sent to me with instructions on how to delete my account and unsubscribe do not work to resolve my issues
When you find out there has been a complaint against you and they have snatched your post, they will not explain the violation after you inquire about it I asked twice, just what the violation was, and twice, I got the same pre-scripted email to review their guidelines and agree to them That made me decide I wanted no part of themCan I do a zero star?
I was harassed my the website manager because of a post I made warning my neighbors about two suspicious men knocking on doors after dark asking for moneyI was targeted because I described the men as Hispanic which tbeh appeared to beI was threatened with action against my account!
very misleadingI got a postcard saying my neighbors would like me to join the neighborhood private communityIt is not that at allThis is some troll getting people to sign up and give personal informationI have tried to cancel their emails but they keep sending me things from their web siteWhen you call the number there is only a message saying they don't take callsI want others to know that your neighbor hood to them is in a mile radius and your neighbors know nothing about this companyThey ask what you like to do, how many children at home..I did not fill that out since I realized this was a company fishing for info to sell to advertisers Why do they always come from San Francisco?
Truly and honestly, it is a website that breeds bullies and residual complainersHopefully, our state and federal legislators do something about the constant defamation of character and testimony found on their websitePerhaps a major legal firm should look into a class action suite against this company to ensure proper controls are initiated by their website's community moderators
Both my wife's Nextdoor*** account and my own Nextdoor account have been closed as the result of actions taken by one or more so-called "Leads"I sincerely believe that a review of mine and my wife's postings on Nextdoor will will show that we have for the most part been victims of one in particular vindictive "Lead" who was also influenced by that person's personal friendsThree of the Lead persons affecting this issue all live on the same street as I do, and within a few hundred yardsIn fact, all three live within a stones throw of each otherThe stronger person of the three is very angry and seems to be able to bully the others into taking steps to delete my responses to anything regarding our Homeowners AssociationI have found out through other Nextdoor participants that people who have been very rude towards me continue to have full privileges on Nextdoor-GreenhillsI truly believe in being fair to all concerned but, also not shirking the responsibility of demonstrating h
Deactivating my accountWe have a mentally defective man that is allowed by nextdoor to threaten, bully and mock neighbors and they refuse to ban himThey removed a comment I made asking him to stop challenging me to a physical fight over yard signs, but left all of his upThey also left all his comments up that were mocking a recently broken into neighbors houseHe claimed they "deserved it for being liberals"When it was pointed out no one deserved this, no matter their political leanings, all the messages were removed apart from hisDisgusting
Our Lead *** *** has control over the neighborhood and deletes or removes any posts he doesn’t likeHe also I was told by another neighbor deleted our address from the neighborhood appafter he didn’t like a response I postedIt’s wrong for one person to have this much controlFix your app
Nextdoor allows the very negative posts to remainThe Leads can be bias and delete posts that they don't approve of and leave the negative posts of their friends and there is no recourse It is a destructive element in our neighborhood and there is nothing we can do about itThe site is now run by the angry people and the nice people stay away
If Nextdoor had more control to keep things calm it could be an advantage, but they don'tIt's like the Wild West of nasty posts
Depending on your community some leads are dirty hypocrites,no one should run a family website then leave ditigal foot steps behind on dirty websites.Nextdoor leads remove church postings,leads troll for Christians and shut them down.Company cooperate through research breaks members first Amendment rights yet they support abortion,gay rights and god is dead.Hoping class action lawsuit will level these people out of business.I contacted the leads in my area to let them know there were no convicted sex offenders on the site and they closed my account down for punishment.They have cleaned out some emails to destroy proof against the behavior of the leads.I write this for others to understand this is a site for lost dogs and crime
Nextdoor violates the privacy of non-members by allowing posts containing names, addresses and other personal information without their knowledgeSaid posts constitute libelous and tortuous activity, defamation of character and promote an environment of bullyingModerators have allowed such posts, going as far as suggest additional aggressive action toward the unwitting non-member and complainant states the company has a complete lack of proper oversightNextdoor promotes the privacy of its members but not of those defamed
There have been some unclear business policies on NextDoorEach time I have received a notice on how I can post, I post, I get reported by a lead and then it is taken downThey asked me to respond to them after Nov I finally had time to do a week ago and still have not heard a responseI opted them into sharing my database which gained them new clients and still I am placed on limited useI look to have this matter resolved with a customer service that actually resolves problems beyond putting someone on "limited use"I hope there is a resolutionPlease note that I had followed the directions of the customer service and yet missed a step and was blockedIt is important to note that I am not a business but a local piano and voice teacher who has been wrongly targeted and harassedPlease helpThank you
