Kellie Zach, Scott Beavers, Stephen Dail are three leads in our neighborhood. Zach questioned my military record. Someone with authority contacted Nextdoor.com HQ and had them ban me. Nextdoor.com used a pretext that I was using a fictious name which I was not. Nextdoor.com scammed me into sending them a copy of my state driver's license. Then they informed me that I was abusive which I was not. Nextdoor.com helpdesk is run by people who do not understand American English. Their responses are short and offer no explanation or proof. Nextdoor.com will go under because its CEO is the kind of guy who would run you off the road, claim he didn't know he was supposed to call the police, and convince the local police that he had a perfect record. He did all of those things. You do not want to know your neighbors -- trust me. You don't want to support this website and the Leads in your neighborhood who abuse their power. But you also don't want to miss out on the going's on in your neighborhood.

I have a background in marketing, web analytics, and technology and so on. My community recently moved to Nextdoor. It is perfect for nosy, stuck up, social media craving, power hungry busy bodies. There are constant SPAM like postings from other adjoining communities. Poor organization for community documents. Perfect medium for people who don't have any sense of how to use social media. The leads are the worst. When they made the switch the board said, "It manages itself!" And, "It's FREE!" Read the fine print nothing is free! Nextdoor is collecting a copious amount of information from member's browsers. Your demographics, shopping history, websites visited,… They are building a marketing machine.

My community's site just had its first libelous post and I am sure there will be more to come…Yeah!

I thought this would be a great neighborhood watch application.
In the end the company let the HOA take over.
I have fought with the Nextdoor application as the HOA has taken over the site here at Skyborne when the purpose of Nextdoor is to have a separate voice than that of the HOA. Therefore Nextdoor is little more than free software to the HOA to further the HOA's agenda which is inconsistent with the goals of a homeowner like myself that sees a failing HOA, failure to maintain, and failure to enforce, and breach of contract. Grassroots are often the only way to solve larger social issues, and Nextdoor has annihilated grassroots by allowing an HOA takeover of the site. Now I must fight as hard to get rid of Nextdoor as I fought to allow them in our town. Sad
All the neighbors that hate each other post outrageous things about each other, and the posts if removed are the subject of a centralized takeover by Nextdoor trying to become a FaceBook group. Been there. Done that. This application will lower the quality of your life.

Free speech is guaranteed to all Americans - except on websites. Nextdoor at San Tan Heights is one of the worst! My wife and I are 'banned for life' for speaking the truth about issues such as our HOA,. The president of our HOA, Nicole, stated that my wife is a liar and I should stop trying to be relevant - on Nextdoor. This president is also a convicted criminal. The main lead, Ben, is conflicted in his identity and demands acceptance. If he doesn't get it, he bans people. His co-lead, Kira, racially profiled some teenagers in the neighborhood, saying they were looking for a car to steal. She said one of them said he had a gun, then, in another post, showed her nephew a gun. In a third post, she stated the teenager "pulled a gun". Shortly after I called her on this, I was remove from Nextdoor. She has a lien on aher home for about $2100 for not paying HOA fees. Another co-lead, Brian, called my wife the "meanest person he has ever met". I'm told that Brian's religion teaches him that women are less than men. She was removed from Nextdoor shortly thereafter. I complained to Nextdoor through their website.
After the second try to receive fair treatment, I was then ignored by Theresa
At Nextdoor. My heart is not broken. I will still insist on free speech. And, I no longer have to deal with the nasty people on Nextdoor.com. Nextdoor should have a closer look at the kind of people they let represent themselves as leads. Suppression of free speech is a basic tenet of fascism! If you suck up to Ben Torres, you get to stay.

Continue to be re-registered by either the company or site lead. Have unsubscribed and quit the stupid site three different times only find NEW bat-$#*! crazy posts from "neighbors" I don't know. Ironically, it keeps signing me up for neighborhood I don't even live in. There must be some sort of con / grift going on whereby the company is trying to pump up its user numbers.

* of Sunset Point in North Texas has once again somehow obtained a lead position with Nextdoor.

If anyone would like a copy of his record, please email *******@pccitizens.com.

After speaking w/several people in our community who also received a"Nextdoor.com Invite postcard" from the same "neighbor", we'd agreed that speaking w/"invite Sender"for more info was needed. Unfortunately...
After both extensive community & internet research, we learned that the "invites" sent were NOT from anyone living in our community... NOR living in our State!
I truly hope my story helps someone else avoid a similar scam. Good Luck & Take Care All!

My introduction to this organization is an overzealous lead administrator (possibly of the national site?) taking measures against someone on Facebook trying to get accounts disabled because someone who is joining their Nextdoor Neighborhood used the name of their dog. Now she's trying to get the person's Facebook accounts that she assumes are pets deleted instead of simply excluding the dog's account from her neighborhood group. She doesn't seem to even have proof that the accounts are dogs, just that the names don't match and the profile pic is a dog. Her posts about her repeated failed attempts to get the Facebook accounts deleted sound very vindictive. This organization sounds like it is run like a Junior High popularity club.

The biggest problem with the Nextdoor Neighborhood website is that if a poster posts a thread to YOUR community and also chooses all the surrounding communities (even if they are miles and miles away), then everybody can see and comment to that original thread. If you post something in reply to it, and you mention that it pertains to only YOUR community, all those surrounding neighborhoods can see it, comment on it, whether it's their business or not. Whether THEY live in YOUR community or not. It's so surprising how many of your lovely neighbors want to know the business of YOUR community and can comment on something in which they know nothing about.

You can't fix intelligence, Leads don't even understand that if they remove a comment, they remove it only from their own neighborhood, and not the entire site. The comment they don't like is still there, only not visible to their neighborhood...

This site is useful for the classified ads. Realtors, landscapers, house painters, if you want to sell something, etc., promote a business. That's about it. And don't comment about your own community's faults and what the cause of it is, because if the original poster wasn't smart enough to know better and included all the nearby neighborhoods, everyone
Will tell you how you should live in and comment about, your own neighborhood.

Worthless site, really. Unless you want to stir the pot up, lol

I joined our neighborhood NextDoor site when it was first started a few years ago in our area. I love, love, love it! Maybe it is just the make-up of our neighbors, but people are polite, helpful, and quick to volunteer if someone is in need. If petty conversations start (i. E. whose not picking up dog poop), they are quickly re-directed and reminded that this site is not, in our neighborhood's opinion, the place for complaints. This works beautifully. Obviously it depends on the type of neighbors you have, but I have found NextDoor to be a life saver many times.

My ongoing challenge of Nextdoor explaining its stance on elected officials as censoring Leads was NOT answered, but Nextdoor did respond to my question of why I was booted off their site.

Get this:

Because I mentioned the name of the Lead on SiteJabber, Napa City Council Member Juliana Inman, I have violated their privacy rule! That's right, an elected official can act as such as a lead, wearing the hat so to speak, but her public status as an elected official allows her to censor/delete/manipulate criticism of her on the Nextdoor site, while claiming HER PRIVACY has been violated!? Further, she personally solicits (or through her adjunct Leads) people to join Nextdoor. Legal/illegal? It's arguable; ethical, sleazy, underhanded, manipulative? ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT QUESTION!

Be active if you will and let her know, as an elected official, your objection to censorship by elected officials: email her at **

By doing so, Nextdoor may just wake up to and respond to SiteJabber! Make a difference...

I didnt want to use my full last name so they threw me off the website. I didn't want to use my full name spelled out due to "Identity Theft". They act as if i am guilty of being someone else, or iam trying to lie about something. I know one of the LEADS personally. Below is their reply. When I signed up it allowed me to use my full first name and I used the first letter of my last name.

Thanks for contacting us about this issue. Both our Member Agreement and our Neighborhood Guidelines require that members use their real name on the site, and not an alias or abbreviation. You can read those policies here:

Neighborhood Guidelines
Member Agreement

When a member reports that another member may not be using their real name, our Support team follows up on each report in accordance with these policies.

While I can certainly understand your concern for privacy, at this time, we dont allow members to abbreviate their last name for any reason. Ive gone ahead and disabled your account for now. If you will consent to using your real name on the site, we will correct the name on your profile and reactivate your account. If dont wish to use your real name on the site, let us know, and we can remove your account from Nextdoor.

Best,
