Community Guidelines

Version 2026-06-04

Not legal advice. These policies are written as a community-friendly summary. They are not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction. We are actively improving this language with counsel; bookmark this page and check the version stamp.

We are a community of growers. These rules protect that community.

Be honest

Describe items accurately — variety, quantity, freshness, growing conditions.
Don't claim health benefits or cures.
Don't post fake reviews, fake listings, or impersonate anyone.

Be respectful

No harassment, threats, hate speech, or personal attacks.
No sexually explicit content.
No spamming or repetitive promotional posts.
Disagree without being cruel.

Keep transactions on the Platform

Coordinate pickup, ask questions, and confirm details inside conversations.
Do not exchange phone numbers, emails, or off-platform handles to circumvent our messaging — we automatically redact contact info and repeat attempts will be flagged.
Off-platform payment is allowed; off-platform negotiation that bypasses our safety + record-keeping is not.

Respect property

Don't share locations of trees, gardens, or produce on private property without owner permission.
Don't harvest from places you don't own and don't have permission to access.
Tree spotting is for fruit you can actually + legally pick.

Protect your fellow growers

Report listings or behavior that look unsafe, illegal, or abusive — admins review every report.
Don't post locations of meet-ups in public posts (e.g. addresses of buyers).

Consequences

Violations lead to content removal, warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent ban. We do not negotiate enforcement — if you think a decision was wrong, you can appeal at moderation@mygrowcommunity.com, but the decision stands until reviewed.
