I recently joined Nextdoor because the City of Olathe recommended it as well as a family member when our dogs got outI have a problem with the way the site is operated when in comes to allowing businesses to spam customers without their consentThis evening, an IT professional posted his business credentials and sent it out to everyone in our area, selling his servicesFirst of all, this is a way for a business to subvert federal spam regulationsPer federal spam regulations, a citizen is required to consent to sales e-mailsThis occurs by either having a prior business relationship with a customer or by the customer consenting to e-mailsAnd when the e-mails are sent, the business is required to place an opt out option in the e-mail, allowing for around days for e-mails to stopViolating federal spam laws comes with a stiff fineOne Nextdoor user pointed this problem out when he replied to the person's postThe reaction of people in the community was atrociousPeople pil
The worst social media experience I have ever had, and this is from someone who is on almost all platforms without any issues Nextdoor has a big issue in understanding local issues across the countryAnd the monitoring /deleting based on “unneighborly” or “rude” is a blurry line for Nextdoor to expect neighbors (Leads) to followIt’s a sliding scale of perception My original thought was that a platform such as Nextdoor would have had qualified conflict management personnel monitoring sensitive escalating matters, however that is not the case In our community, and even in City Hall, nextdoor is considered a hostile platform run by heated and bias neighbors There is a support person (considered the final police), and when contacted, your reply comes with a link to their guideline so you can interpret where in the guideline you failed to comply Additionally, the company and their employees are in a different state and time-zone and manage way too many communities The worst part about this forum is the way they determine censorship Our community, which I’m sure is not alone, has a few people that dedicate themselves to reporting posts, especially if the discussion doesn’t favor their position or calls out a deceptive accounting of something They know their way around the famous ‘guideline’; they post many discussions on the same subject with variation of titles, post comments and then remove them as they know they violate guidelines (so the Leads don’t have to), and they initiate discord and create havocNextdoor encourages you to report each other and write each other on personal messaging, but quite frankly, it is way to time consuming, and we are no longer in elementary school having to report each other to the teacher I have reached out to the Founder on twitter and will continue to put out my voice - this is after all a free country and I believe in advocacyCensorship, if the forum so wishes to apply, should only be used with a HIGH LEVEL OF REVIEW (by competent conflict management personnel) and applied to comments that show blatant disrespect or disregard for others, information that can put someone in danger, or false/twisted information (fake news); everything else is a slippery slope and sliding scale of perception
I have lived in my neighborhood for years and signed onto Nextdoor when it was first introduced here or so years ago I have received and shared helpful and relevant information about our neighborhood and communityTwo weeks ago, an out of state home security company (***) began canvassing our neighborhoods and was soliciting to buy peoples personal information from Nextdoor in exchange for home owners to get a discount on their service Ads for *** began to overtake NextdoorI posted the state and county requirements for door to door sales and suggestions on how to protect yourself from being conned and other neighbors began warning each others as wellSuddenly, my account is disabled by Nextdoor indicating "someone reported me as an unknown person in the neighborhood"I have provided Nextdoor with the proof, including my personal email attached to my account in their system and I have yet to receive a response or have my account reactivatedThis is extremely poor customer service to essentially hijack my account and information for no valid reason and provide no communication or recourse
Nextdoor allows neighborhood "lead" to abuse me and my neighbors with insults publicly and delete posts for no reason Their Help Desk will not respond The phone number above is an answering machine ONLY
The integrity of the people operating this company are questionable and do not share their true identity with registered users - yet its users are required to provide personal information to access the website
I had an issue this social media giant yesterday and e-mailed *** *** *** and specifically asked them to reply to acknowledge receipt of my e-mail or call meNever heard from eother one of themDon't waste your time on this site
I posted in your volunteering section cause you guys are so damn picky and if your not the cranky users are picky enough to report nearlh anything underthe sunEven if there isnt anything wrong witb the post they just have to sah some aggervating st as they report youNo questions, just immediately reportAnd you guys just descend upon whom evers been reported no mater the nature of the original post or the antagonistic st the other person just sayedYou block the person making them a victim of your censorship and bigot slandering my organization which I will be pressing charges for her slander and your CooperationI'm tired of reactivating my account after every post, and I hope your company fails because you created an environment that supports passive cyber bullying
Once a useful community resource, Nextdoor’s relevance has been nullified by 1) a flood of ‘sponsored’ content (AKA ‘ads), 2) it’s use as a *** substitute for every piece of cheap crap that a neighbor wants to sell (used cat mittens, only $25...), 3) vile ranting and raving between members and 4) ND’s rising arrogance and belligerence towards neighborhood ‘leads’ whose volunteer efforts are 100% responsible for recruiting ND’s populate No Go
The time when I joined/created an account it was because I got a postcard in the mail with one of my neighbors name on it that was saying how my neighborhood is currently using a system called Nextdoor to link the neighborhood and for people to add on there like missing dog or items for sale just sounded like a great community thing that I loved the idea of although after getting into it and seeing how many of my neighbors and people across the country had joined I loved it but then I started getting phone calls from people and texts saying like "stop inviting me to nextdoor it's getting really annoying" and I just was thinking I didn't invite to anything and then I started seeing how they were sending postcards around inviting people and the worst part is the post cards had my name on it like I was sending them and wrote them also nextdoor started getting a hold of my contacts through the app on my phone and sending out invitations "from Me" taking away my integrity with many people and customers of my business they are just taking peoples info and also hiding behind other peoples name to invite more people to give up there info about the most unethical business i've seen
Nexdoor.com somehow got a hold of my email and keep spamming meTheir emails include link to UnsubscribeIf I follow their link, they present a page where I need to login as existing user with username and password to unsubscribeThe problem is that I am not their existing user and therefore I do not have username and password to unsubscribeI do not plan to create and account with them, just do not want nexdoor.com to send me spam emails on my email addressLooks their decided to create an account for me without my request and authorizationI want them to remove my account and all information about me from their systems
After being cyberbullied nonstop on the Nextdoor app for the past hours by a dissastified customer of mine doing an odd job, I decided to deactivate the accountThis app has no monitoring whatsoeverPeople are free to name call, post personal info, deface advertisments, and suggest people to hack other membersAfter reporting this, It seems that Nextdoor allows this behaviour and looks the other way on vicous cyberbullying
Our local Nextdoor forum that covers Jersey Village Texas is corrupt The leads are removing posts if they don’t agree with the political views of the posterWe have a lead named Lynne Singleton who has a husband that is a city councilman and she removes any post that is critical of the city counsilWe have another lead named Mitchell Ellison who allows fake accounts to enroll on nextdoorWhen we complain to nextdoor, our accounts get shutdownThere are numerous complaints against this companySave yourself and di not join this company

Leads are bulliesTrolls have a fertile playground with no accountabilityNo matter how much good you can do or have done for your community, one ambiguous comment can get you deleted in this totalitarian landscapeLeads protect their friends and they unite together with their friends to "mob" other usersReporting them to Nextdoor is a waste of timeThey do nothingLeads are the most powerful clique and THEY decide whether you can eat at their lunch table or notNextdoor is no longer news, goings-on, curb alerts or neighbors helping neighborsSooooo many people have stopped using it that Nextdoor practically begs it's users to recruit, send out postcards, get the word out to recover some of their user lossesBEWARE: hypocrisy IS the name of the Nextdoor1) you can't post commercial or promotion....but Nextdoor can to get you to buy things from their sponsors and monetize user traffic2) Report stuff that Nextdoor will never handle and get reported and booted off for things you never did3) Include yourself with your neighbors, but only if they allow you into their clique4) Free speech does NOT apply on Nextdoor5) Don't bully because bullying is Nextdoor and its' leads' privilegeETC...ETC...ETCLet me tell you how bad it's gotten....the police depts, schools, cities, local clubs and organizations, etc won't even use it anymoreIt's become a snake pit....where bullies and trolls quickly run off the good people....leaving a st pile of bullies and trolls left in the Nextdoor trenches and then they start turning on each other and it becomes a horrible disaster worthy of morbid curiosity
I agree with the other negative reviewers on NextDoor I posted information on where Members of HOAs could get help for the horrible abuses from HOA boards or Management Companies I had a flood of emails within a few minutes of people who wanted to share their bad experience I am an HOA Advocate and a Citizen Lobbyist We are trying to steer people to reliable sources So HOA Boards are bullies and Nextdoor is more interested in serving tyrants than allowing it's forum to be used as a resource where abused HOA members can find help I am disabling my account with them
