How neighbors are expected to treat each other here.

Be a real neighbor

Use your real name and a real photo. Say honestly what you're selling, renting, or offering to do, and what it costs.

Keep it kind

Disagree without insults. No harassment, threats, hate speech, or pile-ons. If someone makes you uncomfortable, block them — they aren't told.

Protect privacy

Don't post someone's address, phone number, workplace, or photos of them without permission. Don't share screenshots of private messages.

No scams or prohibited items

No fake listings, advance-fee schemes, counterfeit goods, weapons or ammunition, drugs, live-animal sales, or anything illegal where you live.

Reporting and what happens next

Every post, comment, business, listing and profile has a Report control. Reports are private. Our team reviews each one and may hide the content, ask for changes, or suspend the account.

Badges are separate signals: Verified confirms an identity, Background Checked reflects a completed check. Neither is an endorsement by Zipfolk.

These policies are written and maintained by the Zipfolk team.
