Group guidelines

1. For everyone

• Groups are open to everyone, all ages. Suggest topics that suit the whole community.

2. Stay on topic

• Keep to the group's topic. Suggest a new group for anything else.

3. Be kind

• Be respectful. Disagree with ideas, never with people.

4. Keep private details private

• Share phone numbers and addresses one to one, outside the group.

5. Buying and selling

• That belongs on the boards - Business Directory, Crop Swap, Lend & Borrow.

6. Report

• Use Report on any message that breaks these. The site team checks every one.

7. Limits

• A daily number of messages and a short pause between them keep groups easy to read.
