As a lead on one of the next door neighborhoods, I find that a vocal minority all too often flags posts simply because they dislike the person who made the post or because they disagree with what the person posted regardless of whether that post violated nextdoor guidelines. It gets even worse when the leads of that community are friends with the vocal minority and in essence creates censorship on the site against anyone who has an opposing point of view to the vocal minority. I can't imagine that censorship of differing opinions is what Nextdoor intended when the site was created but that is how it frequently plays out

I have shared my bad city library experience after tax-paid library fee yet being prevented from using it in the past 3-4 years; library robbery?
My past 3 posting of shared community commerce experience has vanished in hours; now my Nextdoor.com account has "inaccessible" for penalize my "shared experience" as " personal dispute". Public library service deprivation - violation of Civil Rights is "personal dispute"? Are you kidding me? Who is silencing us, yet took our precious personal domcile information in the name of "neighborhood"? Corporate adversary censoring?

Just an update to my review... I've come to realize that ND is kind of a risky website to take part in. They require your real name so there's no anonymity. Increasingly, there are more and more arguments and insults and complaints and people getting all worked up. And some people are breaking the rules and not using their real name, so they have anonymity, but I don't. I no longer feel safe posting anything that even might possibly offend someone in some way unintentionally. I don't feel like I can be relaxed on ND and I have to watch everything I say/write very carefully because it would be very easy for someone to find me and do whatever (assault, kill, vandalize, harass, etc.). I've had 2 instances where for some reason I was singled out and personally attacked (directly named and specifically insulted in the threads) and it really put the fear into me. I had done nothing wrong. ND did not use to be like this a few years ago.

I submitted a post (that received 46 likes) with zero identifying information commenting on inappropriate behavior in my neighborhood. I was suspended. Others, however, have posted identifying information, including photos of cars with license plates clearly showing and those posts remain in place even when requests are submitted to have them removed (for the safety of the person identified in the post). When I disputed the decision... I just received platitudes... not sure they even bother to read the threads... or else their reading comprehension is very poor.

It appears that there are 'members' employed or affiliated by NextDoor in some manner, who police. These members are special. They have power to flag and ban over anything THEY might 'think' is a violation of ND terms. I've had this happen 2 times now, and both times had NO idea why I was being restricted! Lol,

IMO, NextDoor will kill itself with these ridiculous Kindergarten level tactics. We are adults. When you allow bored, haggard old cat ladies to administer your Social media site, ridiculous things are going to happen. This appears to be the case for NextDoor.

This site clearly says no politics in their terms but this does not apply to Trump supporters. I noticed someone was promoting a Trump rally in my community. I tried to flag the post because I thought nextdoor.com was not the proper platform to do this. I was told it did not meet the requirements but here's where it gets weird when I tried to leave a comment and voice my opinion nextdoor.com disabled my right to leave a comment on that post.
Just disgusting. I get it your Trump supporters but the entire community should have the same rights regardless of their race, color or their political party. My opinion matters just as much as someone else's. Shame on you for political segregation and violating the rights of everyone who is not a Trump supporter.

I have been on this site for 3 years and posted maybe 3 times! I made a very valid post about terrible dog owners walking their out of control dogs, I was attacked by 3 people ruthlessly and I defended myself keeping my cool. I might add, I have 25 people like my post. I was called a Bigiot, Bully, said I slandered people and, was told to move. My post was up for two days and somehow they closed my account and refuse to open it back up. I regret ever signing up for this terrible platform. Thanks for nothing

They require an address and phone to post a 'found dog.' I get the phone part but my address has nothing to do with the dog. Still, I tried posting but the site wouldn't take my phone number. The reps said to send private information -a utility bill, etc- something recent to show where I live, which has nothing to do with the dog. I don't have a recent bill and that's unnecessary personal information. Why are they asking for it: (a) they're going to sell it, or (b) there's no logical reason behind the request, they just want it, period. The reps send form letters in Emails.
