Locality is a platform for constructive civic participation. Every post should aim to improve the place we live.

1. Be Respectful

Locality is a space for civic discussion.

Treat other users, community leaders, and municipal staff with respect.

Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, threats, intimidation, and bullying are not allowed.

You can disagree with ideas, decisions, or policies, but attacks on people are not acceptable.

2. Keep Discussions Constructive

Locality is designed to solve real community problems.

• When posting, be clear and constructive.
• Focus on the issue, not the individual.
• Where possible, offer solutions or useful feedback.

Posts that are inflammatory, disruptive, or intentionally divisive may be removed.

3. Post Accurate Information

• Locality works best when information is reliable.
• Share information you believe to be accurate.
• Avoid spreading rumours or misinformation.
• Clearly distinguish between opinion and fact.
• Deliberately misleading content may be removed.

4. Stay Relevant to Your Community

Locality is built around local communities.

Content should relate to local issues, events, services, or discussions.

Spam, unrelated advertising, or irrelevant content may be removed.

5. Respect Privacy

Do not post personal or sensitive information about others.

This includes addresses, phone numbers, private messages, or identifying details without consent.

Protecting privacy helps keep everyone safe.

6. No Spam or Commercial Abuse

Locality is not a platform for aggressive promotion.

Repeated promotional posts, scams, or misleading offers are not allowed.

Local businesses may participate respectfully, but spam will be removed.
