Community Chat Rules

Community Rules

Welcome to our property community 
This space is for respectful, helpful conversations about property — including buying, selling, renting, investing, development, and real estate services.

To keep this community safe, useful, and professional, we ask everyone to follow these rules.

1. Be Respectful

  • Treat others with courtesy and professionalism
  • Disagree with ideas — not people
  • No insults, harassment, bullying, or intimidation

If you wouldn’t say it in a professional meeting, don’t post it here.

2. No Profanity or Offensive Language

  • No swearing or obscene language
  • No masked or implied profanity
  • No sexually explicit or suggestive content

This is a mixed-audience, professional property platform.

3. Zero Tolerance for Hate or Discrimination

You must not post content that targets or demeans people based on:

  • Race or ethnicity
  • Nationality
  • Religion
  • Gender or sexual orientation
  • Disability
  • Age

Hate speech or discriminatory language will be removed immediately.

4. No Threats, Violence, or Criminal Content

Do not post:

  • Threats or violent language
  • Encouragement of harm or intimidation
  • Advice on illegal activity or fraud

This includes tax evasion, fake offers, document falsification, or avoiding legal obligations.

5. Keep It Property-Focused

This community is about property.

Please don’t post:

  • Political campaigning
  • Religious preaching
  • Ideological or extremist content
  • Off-topic arguments

Factual discussion of laws or regulations is fine where relevant to property.

6. No Defamation or Unverified Accusations

Do not:

  • Accuse individuals or businesses of illegal or unethical behaviour
  • Spread rumours or gossip
  • Make claims without evidence

If you’re sharing an opinion, keep it general and respectful.

7. No Sexual Content or Inappropriate Material

  • No sexual references or innuendo
  • No objectifying comments about people or properties
  • No inappropriate content involving minors (zero tolerance)

8. No Spam, Scams, or Unauthorised Promotion

Do not post:

  • Unsolicited advertising
  • Referral links or “DM me” offers
  • Investment schemes, crypto, or gambling promotions
  • Misleading claims or guarantees

Approved promotions must follow platform rules.

9. Be Honest and Accurate

  • Don’t spread false or misleading information
  • Don’t exaggerate market conditions or outcomes
  • Don’t create panic, fear, or fake urgency

If you’re unsure, say so.

10. Respect Privacy

  • Don’t share personal or private information
  • No doxxing
  • No posting private messages, documents, or financial details

We use a combination of automated tools and human moderation to enforce these rules.

What may happen if rules are broken:

Serious breaches (such as hate speech, threats, or illegal content) may result in immediate action without warning.

Reports help keep the community fair and trustworthy.
