Next Door is a social media site designed to facilitate neighborly interactions in a local communityOur local site for Addison, TX has been hijacked by a Cyber Bully who constantly posts politically charged posts using incendiary language in an attempt to control the siteThis person had previously been removed from the site only to reappear under another bogus name and address numerous timesShe has openly mocked the local Leads who have attempted to stop her bad behavior by stating she will simply continue to re-post whatever she wants if taken downIf ND management ever removes her from the site (this is not in the control of the local Leads) she simply re-appears using a different address or perhaps name and picks up her rant right where she left offThis is a highly abusive situationIt is obvious that whatever controls that are in place are not effective to verify addresses of individuals on the site, nor is there any real way to bring this abusive situation to the attenti
Customer service is non existent You will be referred to one of their (untrained, volunteer) 'leads' And if their 'leads' ARE the problem? You might as well quit Next Door because good luck getting someone at their corporate office to respond to you via email All they care about is shoving more ads onto the website so they can get the $$
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
On Sunday, August 18th I received an email from NextDoor Representative(***) informing me that there had been a report that I was using a "fake name" and my account was suspendedI immediately responded confirming that I was not using a fake name and that I felt I was being retaliated against by the person I reported for abusing their role as a NextDoor LeadThis person has been a lead for years on NextDoor and has been abusing their right as a ND lead for yearsI reported him and because NextDoor notifies leads of reports against them, he took it upon himself to report my account and have it removedI am offended and feel not only was this a horrible thing to do as I am a member of the HOA board and use NextDoor to communicate important and useful information to the community, but how could someone make such a accusation against meFurthermore, prior to suspending my account why wouldnt NextDoor ask me first so I could provide them with any information necessary to prove
Nextdoor.com is an exclusionary, discriminatory service They publish press releases and advertise themselves as a service to bring communities together but they actively discriminate against certain members of the community including registered sex offenders and their entire families It is one thing for a company to perpetuate an idea that people who committed a sex related offense ever in their life should not be allowed to interact with their neighbors or be notified of community events It is clearly another to decide that the entire household of that person is not worthy of that information Nextdoor advertises in their own member policies that user accounts are issued to individuals, not families, couples or households Given that, it is clearly outright discrimination against family members who have committed no crime to exclude them from membership This company is not what it claims to be and does more to DIVIDE neighborhoods by isolating entire families than it does to bring them together
Next-door.*** is a laughing stock Apparently, it has plans to go public and add advertising If you plan to invest in Next-door go somewhere else with your hard earned dollars Currently, in my city there is a very contentious local election The ND Leads who are sympathetic to the opposition are not allowed to vote on reported posts when someone posts inflammatory, hateful, misleading information or outright lies about the challenger The ND Leads who are sympathetic to the incumbent are only allowed to vote on member complaints regarding derogatory posts on the oppositionMuch of what has been posted by synchophants of the incumbent stays and the posts made by sympathsizers to the challenger are removed or those people become bannedThis is blatant abuse of our first amendment rights guaranteed under the opposition It is important to know that the incumbent set up Next-door.*** in our district So, something is wrong in Denmark
Nextdoor removed me from being a member of Nextdoor Westwoods because a Neighbor falsely reported that I do not live there anymoreI live at*** *** *** in Hockessin Delaware with my sonALSO, Nextdoor ALLOWED A NEIGHBOR TO GIVE MY ADDRESS TO SLANDER my familyThe LEAD allowed this slander and even THANKED HER for the slander
Nextdoor is useful for selling old furniture, finding lost kittens, arguing about local contractors, but it draws the line at anything controversial or political in neighborhoods It's basically the *** *** of ladies' book clubs If it didn't pretend to be something more relevant, it wouldn't matter but it sucks people into giving out their addresses, acting like an elitist and safe place and ends up being nothing at all Irrelevant
I have been a member of NextDoor for monthsRecently a lead in my community has not liked some of my posts and has consistently harassed me to the point that I'm limited in my use nowI've tried to find a customer relations person to talk with about this issue and have been unsuccessfulEven the help center online is unusableI am a mere piano teacher of years who lives in my neighborhood, a profession which many people find hard to gain contacts toThis is the whole purpose of NextDoor, find out your community services and connect to security issuesHowever the leads in charge of postings ARE local neighbors who can target you if they don't personally like your content, even though my content has fit within the guidelinesI'm close to quitting the site altogether now and I am very frustrated
I submitted a post regarding my services for dog-walking/sitting and said if anyone was interested to please reach out to me (like SO MANY other people posting their services for lawn care, etc)This is not my full-time job or anything major other than a profile I have set up through rover.com for people that want to find a reliable dog walker/sitterI think this was taken way out of line and made too serious of an issue for POST that I challenge DOESN'T EVEN VIOLATE THEIR RULES!
I was contacted via email by John with Nextdoor stating that my post was reported for violating Nextdoor's Community Guidelines on promoting my business for offering servicesThey said I can mention my business from my personal account and respond to requests and even add my business information but they also said the reason they deleted the post was because I'm not allowed to market or promote my businessMakes a lot of sense right? Extremely poor communication and a terrible site to use for neighborhood postsDO NOT USEJust scroll through all the negative reviews if that's enough of a signI wouldn't even give them a star if I couldI will make sure all friends and family are aware of this poor experience and any site I can find to give them a review onperson tells I've worked in customer service for years and this is a very poor experience by Nextdoor
Absolutely horrendous APP
Many members have / are being harassed, mainly by the so called "Leads" of each neighborhood, as well as being locked out of thier accountsMembers will simply share their good experiences with contractors, etc, and be deletedThere is no consistency, and it is very apparent that these same "Leads" allow endorsements from contractors / individuals who are giving them referral money, (in fact, it was admitted by a lead in the "British Commons" neighborhood, in San Antonio, Texas
Another individuals post was deleted and he was "warned" for sharing a very short, had possitive biblical verse for the day
Again, HORRIBLE app, HORRIBLE people mismanaging, and HORRIBLE experiences
Beware and stear clear!!
highly discriminatory regarding the way they deal with neighbors that are professionals, independent contractors but yet, are not allowed to disclaim their ability to others inside the same groupNannies, Dog sitters, plumbers, etc even living in the neighborhood are forbidden to offer their services while SALES OF ALL TYPE AND AMOUNT (cars, houses, house goods) (no taxes) are allowed and stimulated when they are EQUALLY BUSINESS SOLICITATION
This service is a big complaints forum and has a lot of libelous statementsThere is a lot of racism on the site as wellIt is full of nasty comments about neighbors
I recently tried to sign up for Nextdoor.com when my address was flagged by the site as the address of a sex offenderI was horrified! A message popped up saying my address was flagged as a sex offender saying I was blocked from using the site and that I had to contact local law enforcement to get my address off the sex offender registry for New York StateIt said I could NOT be a member until it was resolvedI contacted the police but they counldn't clear up the member because the registry was based off last name, county, zip codeThe site never gave me information as to what their database had on fileI then called Albany, New York state registry for sex offenders and told them of my shock, concerns and fearsWas there a sex offender living in my building I had no knowledge of, with three children! Albany said they need the information the site had on file because they could not change anything til they knew the name coming up at my addressI then emailed the site Tell them th
I tried to change my address to another neighborhood, upon moving into my new homeI tried to complete verification by credit/debit cardI entered the number and the message read that you couldn't verify the address because the billing address didn't match! Bunk! The Credit Union, which issued the card, has even printed my checks with the new address! They send the bill to the address! So how come you can't instantly verify this? Even the gas company, when I buy gas can verify the zip codeFurther, now I have to wait a full 3-days for a postcard to comeIsn't this a bit egregious?
As a Founder & Lead, I spent a lot of time setting up, recruiting and editing my neighborhood A recruited over people to the site and shamed my city into participating on Nextdoor After years my account was deleted because I left negative comments concerning sponsors (*** *** *** *** ***) because of personal dealing with each company that was backed by many more comments from my neighbors It's sad that Nextdoor censors its users with such a heavy hand and protects compaines from real opinions of real customers
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
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
Nextdoor has no customer supportThey remove posts that follow guidelines simply because someone else doesn't like it never listening or viewing both sidesIt's suppose to be a place to share information but its more bullying and gossipers than anything elseWill not return - save your time
