NextDoor appears to be okay with BODs of HOAs to be the only Leads/Moderators on their siteThis creates issues with content being removed while some remain postedOur BODs use it to intimidate and show their "power" so that no one crosses themI have filed more complaints with NextDoor than I can count, I only ever get these scripted responses
I received an invite in the mail today, an envelope that says it's from the same city I live in but is from Nextdoor***It appears to be a bulk send because it is addressed to two subdivision "neighbors"Inside the envelope was a bi-fold asking me to join Nextdoor and the invite appears to be generated from a user with the name *** *** *** I probably don't need to say this but if they changed "ling" to "long" in *** you get the ideaIt states the same thing on the inside of the bi-fold
Recently I followed a story, claiming a K( dog VALLEJO PD was being abused,
What I didn't know was the story was fabricated from another story from Vallejo Happenings, but before that I asked my spouse to reach out to VPD High Level Officer, and he was connected to the LTto investigate this storyMy husband called the person who reported the story and gave her the number to call and have animal control interveneThe woman declined to call though we had VPD willing to the call agencyMy husband then reported on the thread to say she declined to call and that the person who initiated the org story had not been truthfulThe woman stated my was liar on NDA, I replied to the site stating I was there when my husband called and she declined, my husband is a 21yr Retired Officer Veteran USCG and is employed with the Federal GovtThen she said she as being abused, more untruthful replies were posted We asked the moderator to remove this information that it was character assaultNDP response it was good conversation and they kept the story liveThey refused to remove a fabricated story and we stated we had an email from the person who posted on Vallejo Happenings that it was a neighbor issueNot only did NDA allow the person to post inaccurate information she posted the map and picture of the the house of the alleged abuserThis company does nothing to remove lies but allows a home to posted for all to seeI feel there should be a class action law suit against this company
This website and the whole idea is HORRIBLEAll it is is an excuse for old bats to sit around and scroll through to report anything they do not likeSure, there are no advertising, but do we seriously have to report every little thing b/c it doesnt fit your idea of what should be postedI do not recommend using this app and think the whole thing should be shut down! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience! DO NOT USE IT!!

I have never violated any rulesIn addition I rarely ever even use! But I do know that at some point my email started filling up with unsolicited company advertisementsFrom large valid companiesI started calling those companies telling them not just to stop sending me their spam, but I wanted their marketing to contact the company they are paying to give them non customer emailseventually the spam emails stopped but so did my email stop receiving Nextdoor mailBut guess what! I verified that they are not going into my spam folderAnd I also made sure their customer support can receive and respond to my same email address! But they never fixed the problem or gave an explanation! HAHAHA THE EXPLINATION IS IT WAS NEXTDOOR THAT WAS SELLING MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO THESE FORTUNE COMPANIES AND WHEN THEY HAD TO STOP SELLING MY EMAIL ADDDRESS THEY ALSO STOPED ME FROM RECEIVING MY NEXDOOR CORESPONDANCE! This is the email I am sending to Revdex.com as have many many others and will also file a
Seems to be a platform for cyber bullying and harrassmentI have been an active member of my community for yearsA group of women were pulling a scam for free Christmas presents and when I politely directed them to some charitable organizations throughout the valley that could provide the assistance they were seeking, the group began flagging all my postsI was removed from the site, then reinstated, but the group of women continued to follow me throughout the site making remarks under anything I posted about how I think I am too good for people and just rude and unkind remarksI asked them several times to stop harassing meI even private messaged asking, which they responded back by calling me curse wordsWhen I asked them on a thread to please stick to the topic instead of harass me, I was removed for itNextdoor said I violated their terms by asking these women to stop harassing me, although I didn't engage in any arguments or name callingThe initially said I was banned for weeks, but it has been months and they refuse to let me on the siteThey keep saying I need to follow the guidelines, which I have responded that I thought I was and could they clarify what they mean- but they will not respond nor reinstate meSince the bullying of the group of women my home has been targeted by vandals, my tires have been slashed and Nextdoor will not even provide their names so that I can have the police investigateIt's a terrible company
From personal experience I agree with all the negative comments about personally biased leads, selective deletions of posts based on the poster, not subject matter or tone of writing, and clear double standards re political postsA control freak lead claimed political posts were against guidelines, deleting some posts but allowing others she liked to continue posting political opinionsThis was over two years ago yet this double standard continues to this day in Richmond Ca
Who oversees the leads to insure fair and unbiased administration of the highly subjective guidelines ? Answer- no oneNextdoor has developed an app they themselves can't and won't take ownership of managing, and have no intention to overseeThis is a critical flaw in the applicationOnce you sign up you're on your own with no direct support, oversight or recourse from an unbiased impartial source
Should be renamed Nextdoor Yard Sales and Lost Dogs
I'm out
The Leads are unqualified amateurs who do not follow their own rules and have double standards for everything They are abusive and unprofessional and post information for businesses of friends and acquaintances The idea for Nextdoor is excellent, but the lack of oversight and ethics is appalling
Policies and procedures and guidelines are not followed by leads and foundersThere is favoritism, violations of guidelines, abuse of power by Leads/Founders not following guidelines and favoring selected people (friends)I have been harassed and reprimanded for supposed guideline violations to where my account has been suspended and no violation of guidelines were provenCurrently I am seeing favoritism to selected members that are NOT following the guideline and no reprimands or warnings issued for the violationsThis is a hardship to those who are following the rules and guidelines as they are harassed by leads/founders and the friends of leads and foundersI have contacted Leads, Founders and support and have received no response on these concernsI have made several attempts to call Nextdoor directly and the phone number does not pick up and you cannot leave a messageThere is NO support or response
This review contains both bad news about NextDoor (ND) and good news, I have been a member of NextDoor for perhaps years, and am a lead in the area where I first joinedThen I started staying more and more with my mother in another city as her health declined, and when her pet disappeared, I wanted to post that on her area's ND I couldn't do so using my own email address, because ND kept sending me back to my own city 's ND account So, using the nextdoo*** website, I joined again using a new email address, and a new name to go with it -- the missing pet;s nme -- to do soThat is how I found out that the paid ND administrators are not actually checking all new members to be sure that they are real people who really live at the address they give when they join,
This is important to know because it is what makes members of ND vulnerable to people who can masquerade as real people and real neighbors in order to run scams Like saying some poor person they know was cheated out of a deposit on a house, so they need part time work, so will people please hire them (for tasks that would give the poor person access to the sympathetic neighbor's home and garage)And then the ND member who is posting this sad story fails to respond to legitimate questions that members ask about this story I have seen variations of this sort of post in both the areas to which I belong as a ND memberI was then told that the UNPAID LEADS are supposed to vet all new members - even ones who joined without an invitation, How are the unpaid leads supposed to vet people they don't know anything about, when they don't even have the power to demand that the new member hand over a photo ID? Plus, this recent news about vetting was the first time I heard after many years of being a lead that the LEADS are supposed to do thisSo basically, ND is fertile ground for scammer who depend n fidning trusting victimsThe good news is that this is a great place to share LOCAL info about missing and found pets, neighbors who need help, getting referrals for services you need, volunteer opportunities, local politics, tips on anything you, want and moreIt has also been great for people who share info about ongoing criminal enterprises, like the teams who steal packages that have been delivered by UPS, FedEx, etc., who follow the trucks around or troll areas looking to packages on porches If the local police set up a unit that just interfaced with all the smart, noisy neighbors with surveillance equipment on ND, they could stop a lot of such crimesBack to the bad news -- leaving it up to leads to decide if posts fit a policy is an imperfect -- but at least, at the beginning, CHEAP -- way of monitoring posts It will make for an interesting free speech lawsuit on the question of whether NextDoor is a public forum and its responsibility for what leads do
Nextdoor allows cyberbullying even though it's against their policy
I tried to explain things and was being called mental and they even insulted my parents Nextdoor allowed it and took me off the site Only me
They tried to charge my friends to use their 'free site'
ZERO STARS DESERVED
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
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 changed my name recently and they won't reactivate my account because the public records havent updated yetI try to contact them but they won't replyI use this platform because I'm incredibly involved in my neighborhood, but they're being unresponsive
I have found that a moderator has been purposely keeping my account blocked because he does not believe in my political views *** *** in the *** *** *** has been lying and saying I don't live in the area And has said there are personal attacks Even though Mr*** sits on a public Chair for the *** ** *** Hes trying to hide the fact that 236K was spent illegally by the city And that they want to increase the head tax and take the ability away from the City Council to make the decisions Everything I have posted is Percent Factual and is not a personal attack as he stated My account is not restricted and was supposed to be opened up by today and it is still dead
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 become a Facebook page - where anything goes Leads have been harrassed, insulted and even threatened Despite numerous requests to have certain members removed from the site, Nextdoor has taken no action Leads have submitted screen shots of some of the comments - which definitely are against ND guidelines This company is simply trying to increase its audience, so they can sell it And they put Leads at risk So disappointed in their lack of support for the unpaid volunteers who try to keep the site civil
