The purpose of the Nelson Hill Facebook Group is to provide a method for instant communication among the residents in Nelson Hill regarding topics, events, and information related to living in Nelson Hill leading to a stronger sense of community.

The HOA assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of posts from individuals or organizations other than the HOA.

1. In order to view content, post or comment, you must be a member of the group.  If you are a homeowner or resident, you may request membership by answering all of the membership questions and submitting your request.  Incomplete requests will be declined without notice.  We reserve the right to review your request for validity, and may ask additional information to help us determine your residency status. These requests will be made through Facebook Messenger.  We will not ask to verify your residence on the actual Facebook page.  If we are able to verify your residency, you will be approved, or in the case of an existing member, we will take no action.  If we are not able to verify your residence, your membership request will be declined, or in the case of an existing member, the member will be removed.
2. Any Facebook group member is welcome to post or comment on anything on the Nelson Hill Group that pertains to living in Nelson Hill provided the post or comment fall within these rules. 
3. The practice of pinning posts to the Facebook Group page is reserved for announcements from or about the Nelson Hill Homeowners Association only.
4. Posting photos and videos of life and activities in Nelson Hill is permitted and encouraged.  However, when posting more than one photo or video taken during the same event, please post them as a group of photos or videos - not as individual posts. In the event that multiple posts are made, they will be deleted and the author will be asked to repost them as a single post.
5. Members are permitted and encouraged to post household or personal items for sale. We simply ask that once your item is sold, that you please delete your post/comment to reduce congestion and increase visibility of other posts.
6. Members may initiate advertisements for any business services.  Members with businesses that serve the community may respond to requests for recommendations or other questions about services they provide. We encourage homeowners to post their business services on the official website to increase visibility.
7. Political posts, posts about social issues, and posts about religion are prohibited regardless of the topic, the individual, the issue, or the circumstance. Greetings for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Easter, etc. are permitted and encouraged.  We reserve the right to remove posts that, in the judgement of a moderator, violate this rule without notice. 
8. Be courteous.  Profanity, insults, labeling, name-calling, bashing, degrading comments and the like are prohibited.  Any post or comment that – in the judgement of the moderators – violates any of these guidelines will be removed.  Derogatory comments that specify an individual by name or a property by address without the owner or resident being a part of the conversation will be removed.  Please review Rule #11 for action we will take should this occur.   We reserve the right to remove posts that violate this rule without notice and without response to the initiator. 
9. Doxing - the act of revealing identifying information about someone online, such as revealing their name, home address, workplace, phone, financial, and other personal information about the individual or the individual’s behavior, and is subsequently circulated to the public without the victim's permission – is strictly prohibited.  Posts employing doxing will be removed immediately. 
10. Members are encouraged to report posts or comments that do not fit within these guidelines, but members must make these reports through the normal Facebook process in order to be reviewed.  The Facebook Team will not respond to questions directed to them or the HOA on Facebook, personal emails, personal texts, or other personal communication methods for any reason.  Please review Facebook Help FAQs for the reporting method for your specific device.  Reports of posts or comments received through any method other than the Facebook Reporting Method will be ignored.  We will review every complaint made through this method.  We will investigate no complaints brought to our attention through any other method.  Facebook does not provide a method by which we can advise a member of the outcome of their complaint, therefore one cannot be provided. If you have a specific question or complaint about your post or your comment, we will respond as quickly as possible.
11. If a post or comment violates one of our rules, it should be reported.  However, members are not permitted to employ the Reporting Method to exercise their personal dislikes, vendettas, or revenge on other members.  We will track all complaints.  When a member reports a post or comment, we will track the member who reported the incident, the person who posted the alleged incident, and the incident itself.  If a member reports three posts or comments from the same member within a thirty-day period, and none of the three posts or comments have violated our rules, the person reporting the incident will be suspended for thirty days.  A second similar violation involving the same two members will result in the member lodging the complaint being removed from the group.  All other violations will be handled as follows:  Offense #1 – Post or comment is removed and violator is warned.  Offense #2 – Post or comment is removed and violator is suspended for fourteen days.  Offense #3 – Post or comment is removed and violator is suspended for twenty-eight days.  Offense #4 – Post or comment is removed, the violator will be removed from the group and barred from reapplying for membership.
