Terms of Service

Last updated July 23, 2026

What this is

The Croton Community Forum is a volunteer-run space for neighbors to share perspectives and find common ground on local questions. It's free to use, and by using it you agree to these plain-language terms.

Your contributions

Topics and statements you write are public and may be read, voted on, and summarized by anyone. Keep them:

You keep ownership of what you write, and you grant the forum a permanent license to display it and include it in vote tallies and consensus summaries.

Topics

Anyone may open a topic, within posted rate limits. The person who created a topic can close it from the browser they created it with. Nobody else's topics can be closed or edited by you.

Moderation

Volunteer moderators may remove statements or close topics that break these rules, and may restrict access for repeat abuse. Moderation aims to be light-handed: disagreement is the point of the forum; abuse is not.

Notifications

Email and WhatsApp updates are opt-in, and every message includes a way to stop them. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what we store — it's very little.

No warranty

This is community-run software provided as is. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we can't promise either, and results shown here are an informal snapshot of participating residents' views — not an official vote, poll, or government record.

Changes

If these terms change, the date above changes with them, and significant changes will be announced on the forum itself.
