Your review will help others learn about this website.

Please do not review if you are affiliated or have a conflict of interest with this website. Beware this site is not private. "Private" messages are reviewed by "Leads" -your neighbors and approved or disapproved at their whim and political persuasion. Read their privacy statement they make it clear they own and sell your information and have that unlimited right including law enforcement, which likely means government agencies. This may be just another tool of the NSA like agencies...

The site is ok, but the claims they were making about giving $50 amazon gift cards seem to be a scam. I personally was verified as the starter for 9 neighborhoods by nextdoor. Only one ever reached "critical mass" and I've been waiting on that gift cards for months. I'd say let them do their own marketing, because they are lying about gifts for people who helped them get started.

Drama
March 10, 2014

Drama. The site can be used for deformation of character, prejudice and malice even by Federal Gov't employees with the US Secret Service. It can create polarization of neighbors and attacks on opposing views. Do not use the site for Homeowners Association. Also Nextdoor will ban you from the site if someone calls stating that they are with the Federal Gov't without proof. Also the Lead Adm can read your private emails and delete them if they are not what they want others to know.

I signed up for Nextdoor.com because I wanted to get involved with people into having a better neighborhood and looking out for one another. I signed up and got online. I asked if anyone knew of any place renting in the area and I get an email from a guy named Warner stating he was with CAPS. He wanted all of my information so he could talk to my landlord. I thought this was odd so I declined. Next thing I know get an email from a guy named Tyler asking for a copy of my State Identification because of my name of Nextdoor.com. I signed up with the program under my real name but used a nick name that I went by since childhood. Now don't forget my address was on the site for people to see so I wouldn't have ever thought that people would target me for using my nick name after I had already signed up using my birth-name and address. They targeted me like a hawk and asked that I delete my account. Wow. Try and do something good in this world and people target you for the most petty things. The site just seems in my opinion to be full of busy bodies that have nothing better to do then target the smallest things such as not shoveling snow, cars with flat tires, little old ladies, whatever the case. I thought it would be a type of sight where you could go to talk about neighborhood issues like neighborhood issues not petty ones.

This is a great site for neighbors to network with each other. I would give it 5 stars, but they need to clarify their rules for posting because sometimes people try to boss and bully other users of the site by claiming they are not following rules of posting, especially as regards the new Nearby Neighbors feature.
