As the original Lead for our neighborhood for the past few years, I have been extremely disappointed in the direction that Nextdoor has been moving. For the most part, our neighbors have used Nextdoor for positive, uplifting, communication enhancing purposes, but there is always a bad apple in every crowd. Nextdoor has not given the Leads the ability to shut down neighbors who cause problems, make personal verbal attacks or continually use profanity on the site. They make it real easy to set up a Nextdoor site, but then it grows like a cancer that can't be stopped. I am ready to step down as the Lead, but I feel a personal senses of responsibility to my neighbors since I was the one who originally invited them to the site. Leads need the ability to lock individuals out of the site if they continually violate the site guidelines.
This is truly a shocking comment, as most other comments are exactly the OPPOSITE !
Nextdoor is like a cliquish high school group that suppresses free speech, the members declare they can recognize a criminal by their looks, and they have fantasy ideas (safety issue here) about their level of privacy on Nextdoor).
I tried to educate them about this, and I was SECRETLY (without any notice by Nextdoor) terminated from the site. What a shocking and disgusting way to do business.
that is correct. leads are sometimes the most onerous violators of the spirit of neighborhood that i have seen. add in the busybodies of people with too much time and their desire for a feefee website and you get a horrible violation of privacy that doesn't actually do what it proposes to as its mission. better to get the word out about never signing up in the first place
Exactly what they did to me it's like some high school gossip center and it is very very clickesh if they are jealous or something else immature they just remove you I am so disgusted and will keep posting how bad they are and we all need to keep contacting their headquarters.!

I know exactly who one of them is...her name is "rhonda" something I dont remember her last name but she got me kicked out...she interfered into a conversation between others and insinuated herself into the conversation... by trying to redirect the nature of the conversation...essentially attempting to censoring the subject at hand...making threats to others about her ability to kick people out...others in the conversation told her to butt out...but it is her...she lives in the ashford park area in houston...
I now understand why a previous Lead we had in our area did not do anything after a while of being the lead. He just gave up and didn't do anything. Our neighborhood was allowed to just go crazy and post up anything they wanted with no intervention from the Lead. Neighbors were arguing with one another and they were posting up mean posts as well. It is sad when you, as a Lead, feel discouraged with no help from Nextdoor officials. And the Leads do not have any control over what is posted in their area because other Leads can and do outvote them. It is sad. I use to enjoy Nextdoor.
You need to step down as you don’t believe in free speech. No wonder they made you the lead.
