Here's my most recent pm to the lead:

Lisa, just found this. Once again, you and or Kimberly have avoided the content you judge worthy of censoring. Kimberly originally said to delete my last thread, that morphed into a mandate to combine all my threads and now it has morphed in you closing my threads. Then you accuse me of "using some powerful words"? Good grief. All you or Kim has done is not provide one ounce of proof as to what your decisions are based on, rather just keep accusing with no proof of the accusations.

You simply tell me to read the guidelines. Well, I did. I haven't soap boxed, unless of course, you think replying to a post directed at me is using a "soap box". I haven't used ALL CAPS... oh please, my little bit of capping is no different than anybody elses.

You accuse me of "powerful words" when I can't get a specific answer on anything, just generic replies that reveal nothing as to your decisions. Gee, wonder why? What am I left with to consider. Subjective censoring? Personal bias?... as to what is really going on here?

And, here's some "powerful words" from your lead Kim on my threads:

"Measure B FACTS behind the claims

Kimberly King-Burns from Burbank Media District West · 1d ago
I'm just tired of all of the various delays, whether NIMBY neighbours or otherwise: "

"Truth behind Measure B: what's really going on.

In my experience with burbank city council, i take a good long look at anything that dr. gordon opposes... and inevitably take the opposite tack. From the national guard armory winter shelter to many other community issues, he has often been on the wrong side of history."

"Kimberly King-Burns from Burbank Media District West · 1d ago
I can certainly see why the good doctor is popular: he almost always says *no* to anything that requires an expenditure of any sort, whether allocated or sought via taxes;-)"

Yet, she tells me to shut it down.

I get what's going on here. It's too bad it has to be this way.
BTW, other's used very powerful words at against me and others on these threads. I can't be responsible for their actions either.

I've been posting for decades and I've seen situations like this before. Now, I have to do what I do in situations like this. Good Day.

My subdivision and the one next door are considered one community. The neighborhood right next door has a bunch of bullies who are always making accusations about other neighbors and their children. One of the women is just a renter and really stirs $#*! up. In one thread they posted about someone riging doorbells in the middle of the night and said they hoped they didn't accidentally shoot a neighborhood teen because if they get a ring in the middle of the night they are answering the door armed. Ok I get it but these women are constantly bullying and accusing neighbors. As a mom of a teen I feel lie I could be accused and I live in the neighborhood nextdoor. They get real nasty if you disagree with them. I hoestly wish I never joined. My subdivision is very peaceful and this is makin me very nervous of the crazies a block over, with their mob mentality.

Most leads are agitators rather than moderators! Be warned, if someone does like a proposal, word or sentence when you post something, you get scolded, berated or your post(s) gets removed... This is worst than the famous Condo Commando syndrome. You try to post something about your neighborhood to help or warn your neighbors and "BANG", all the goody two shoes and nervous politically misinformed come out of the woodwork to attack you. Sorry but my understanding of this site was neighbors helping neighbors and not a platform for personal views. AGAIN another game of humans acting like humans at their best!

Leads are only allowing what they want to, with no regard to guidelines. They appear to have all the power to sensor subjects for true conversation, and NextDoor management will not take any action on the Leads, no matter what.

What makes it thousand times worse is that the Leads are not elected, they are just the first people to sign up for this role.

Because the comments stay 'hidden' so to speak (not in public), neighbors show their worst side by inappropriate commenting.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!

Majority of the leads here in Cupertino CA. Have regularly abused their powers of being a lead... Shamelessy promoting their own agendas and deleting and banning anyone who speaks out not in agreeance with their views.

Leads have allowed profiles proven to be fake to flourish.
Just recently some leads tried to solocit 75K in donations towards their own appeal trial since two superior court judges ruled against the iniative they authored and shamelessly promote non stop.

Leads have modified neighborhood boundaries to fit their own agenda.

Nextdoor support is a joke and has ignored multiple complaints by members including myself and just recently my account was terminated after sending an email to nd support asking why this behavior is allowed to continue unchecked.

An employee by the name of Bobak has never replied to any of the compliants sent to him.

I have 450+ screenshots compiled to support my allegations and will be delivering my dossier to multiple media outlets.

FYI... Nextdoor is a front for data collection of real estate under the guise of being a helpful tool to our communities.

I also have created a survey to allow others to share their experiences... Please share so I can include in my report.

Our Point Venture, Texas neighborhood lead Janice Cox has been a nazi about anyone promoting anything in our community website yet she gets to promote her website, members have complained to Nextdoor.com many times about her conflict of interest and abuse of her position but they don't care, luckily most of the neighbors think Nextdoor is a joke and dont take anything they see posted on ND seriously but come on! You can see pictures of her promotion at www.pointventure.co (not dot com) Gotta love small town news!

I received a card in my mail to sign up for nextdoor and I had seen who was the neighbor hood LEAD for my era I was horrified to find out it was Mr Chad S. I did a back ground check and found out he had a criminal record for assault and DWI and other convictions and I was talking to my neighbors about this person and I had also found out allegedly that he is the neighborhood drug addict so i was told allegedly. Thats not some one that I want to deal with or would want to share my private information with. Nextdoor should do a back ground check before letting some one be a lead for any neighborhood. This is a horrible service I don't recommend Nextdoor for any neighborhood

Let's take into consideration we don't know anything about the leads other then they did something fantastic in the community. Now let's look at the fact there could be a convicted sex offenders trolling everything people post in their neighborhood. Now I researched the leads and I didn't find any RSO, I did find one lead is is old likes 18 year old gay porn. Every right to view legal porn, but is this what you want to know about lead? Think again about who is watching you in your normal everyday life.

Our neighborhood leads - let's call them "G. M." and "C. A." certainly have a power trip with being the neighborhood leads. They pipe in on each thread that is controversial and add their 2 cents or shall I say 25 cents or 50 cents.

Oh my gosh - if you disagree with them, they will instantly remove your post and then most likely follow up with a dissertation of the "guidelines" to show that they have power over YOU. They are bias, "know it all's" who most folks can't stand in the neighborhood and rarely "thank" them for their replies. Every neighbor I know, and there is a lot, just laughs at them. Another lead in the neighborhood is done with NextDoor due to these two clowns.

G. M. Will latch onto a theme within the post and twist it around and go off topic and vomit his liberal views and shove them down your throat. C. A. Will bully you from her couch and slam you in a private message if she doesn't agree with you. She loves to consult with a dictionary to put out her BIG words and make herself feel important and smart. They will often like each other's post so they can validate each other.

NextDoor needs to tighten up the guidelines for who a lead is? When to remove a lead from their role. Better explain how a lead is actually selected. Have some sort of QA mechanism within to monitor these leads and their activity. At this moment, they seem to have all the power and live within their own kingdoms.

We live in a democratic society and these leads should have a one year term and then the neighborhood should vote in a NEW LEAD! Come on Nextdoor - listen to the audience you are serving.

I am the lead for my neighborhood and I was cautious about it at first but it has worked well for us and we have been able to communicate quickly and get things done to make our neighborhood safer. As the lead, I have become the "moderator" and it is a skill set I use in my work as well, so perhaps other neighborhoods don't have "leads" with that skill set and problems escalate? The Nextdoor is a great tool, but like anything else, it can be misused in the hands of a person who wants to be a bully or gets satisfaction from the platform it gives him or her. I recommend the site and can only say good things about the results from my experience.

I recieved threatening messages from the lead for asking a question regarding standing water in a retention pond. Not only was I verbally attacked by the lead and all the old biddy's, who made the middle of an intersection into an illegal park, I started to recieve threatening emails from the Lead! I contacted NEXTDOOR and filed a complaint. They did nothing to her. I have since had damage done to my car! Going to speak to an attorney for the site not being safe and no disciplinary action was taken! She is still threatening people!
