Interesting. I am a NextDoor Lead and recently had a user throw a fit over another user who had committed the unforgivable sin of correcting his grammar. He was demanding he be banned.
I told him essentially he needed to calm down and avoid conflict (this user is always getting into fights) in addition to that it wasn't in my power as lead to ban people. He said I was being "very unprofessional" and threatened to go to the local newspaper about how we weren't taking his reports seriously - as if they'd care. I explained that I don't work for NextDoor, I'm just one of his neighbors with slightly more power than him.
He told me to "never contact him again" lol. OK. Good deal.
Anyway, I thought that struck kind of close to this.
They are ban happy there! I got banned for calling someone a NIMBY because they were protesting a stop sign at an intersection two separate pedestrians got hit at because "it fostered increased traffic and urbanization."
And they attract the kind of people who want to be on the HOA Board.
Much like some people suggest that we should choose politicians at random, and that merely wanting to be one should exclude you from being one, the same should be said for HOA Boards. The kind of people who relish that "authority" are the last people who should have it.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. I joined with a fake name just to read about what's going on and figured there was no reason to use my real name there.
This is the perfect summary. That's why I unsubscribed from all notifications but for emergencies. The amount of whining in my neighborhood is ridiculous. I imagine it's the same everywhere.
I've never seen anyone banned for mild name calling, but it's certainly against the rules and would get the comment removed. I suspect you had other reports in your history.
The sign will increase the evidence of traffic by making cars stop and start. It will, on introduction, give rise to some non-adult acting out by people who find the existence of the new stop sign frustrating.
