Community Guidelines

Be respectful

Treat everyone the way you would want to be treated. People come from different backgrounds and show up to meet others in good faith - assume the best and be kind.

No harassment

Do not insult, bully, intimidate, stalk, or repeatedly contact someone who is not interested. Unwanted sexual advances, comments, or messages are not allowed. "No" means no - in chat and in person.

No discrimination or hate speech

No attacks, slurs, or dehumanizing content based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any similar characteristic.

No spam

Do not repeatedly post the same content. Events should be genuine meetups, not a channel to push products or services, and Local posts are not ads. Selling, renting, hiring and promoting a business belong in the Neighbourhood's spaces: one posting per item, home or job, in the space and category it fits, with no chain letters, referral schemes or multi-level marketing.

No scams or fraud

Do not run deceptive schemes. Outside the honest price of something you posted in the Neighbourhood, never ask for money, gifts, payment details, or financial help. Never ask for a deposit before someone has seen a home or met an employer, never charge someone to apply for a job, and never ask anyone for a verification code.

Posting in the Neighbourhood

Post only your own things, homes, jobs and businesses, or ones you are allowed to post, and describe them honestly, with real photos. Do not post weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco or vaping products, prescription medicines, stolen, counterfeit or recalled goods, adult content or services, animals, or anyone's personal information. Housing and job postings must not discriminate. Jobs are for applicants 18 or older. Items in the Kids category are for children's things only, and childcare jobs are for adults who look after children. Mark a posting sold, rented or filled, or delete it, when it is no longer available.

No impersonation

Be yourself. Use your real name and a real, recent photo of you. Do not pretend to be someone else, create fake accounts, or misrepresent who you are.

Other members see your username instead of your name everywhere except your profile. Do not choose a username, or name a business or a posting profile, in a way that passes you off as another member, as Valentree, or as our staff or support. We ban accounts that do, and a banned account loses its username.

No illegal activity

Do not use Valentree to plan, promote, or carry out anything illegal, including organizing events whose purpose is unlawful. Follow the laws that apply where you are.

No dangerous or threatening behavior

No threats of violence, no encouraging self-harm, and nothing that puts someone's safety at risk. Do not bring weapons to meetups or behave in a way that endangers others.

Follow the event's plan

The person who creates an event describes what it is (the activity, the vibe, what to bring). Respect the plan, show up when you join, and let people know in advance if your plans change.
