Group Specific DON'TS

THREE STRIKES YOU'RE OUT!

The first rule breaking offense will be chalked up to not reading the rules. The post will simply be taken down. The next two offenses will result in warnings. After that, the offender will be banned from the group.
No Scamming/Fraudulent Postings (duh)

We all want to feel safe in our groups. Scamming and fraudulent postings will not be tolerated. These include, but are not limited to, duct cleaning, small business loan scams, bogus job scams, bogus moving and selling everything scams, chimney cleaning scams, vehicle detailing scams, fake medical fundraisers, shopping scams, giveaway scams, coupon code scams, lottery scams, romance scams, fake charity scams, Facebook quiz scams, Facebook friend requests, suspicious personal links, (someone) died recently in an accident... I think you may have known (this person), lost animal scam, alzheimer's patient scam, and phishing scams among others.
No Hate Speech, Harassment, Disparaging Remarks or Bullying

Make sure everyone feels safe. Hate speech, bullying, harassment, disparaging remarks etc., of any kind, isn't allowed, There is no positive outcome for making disparaging, rude, totally unnecessary comments. Unless you have something positive to say, move on. You wouldn't want someone to do that to your post, now would you. This is a no-tolerance policy. At the discretion of the admins, posts deemed to go against this rule will result in a permanent ban of the perpetrator.
No Misbehaving

Misbehaviour of any kind will not be tolerated in the group. If a member is found misbehaving with admins or with members, they will be removed from the group without any warning.
No Spamming Your For Sale or Wanted Items

While we do want to hear about what you have for sale, or what you are looking for, we don't want to hear about them daily. Limit postings of the same item(s) to no more than once per week.
No Businesses, Dealers, Flippers, Etc.

This group is for private individuals in Thurston and directly adjoining counties to sell their PERSONAL items.
Marketing and Advertising Not Allowed

It has been very common for people to try posting their small business here. That is a major reason we created the Small Businesses Group. As long as you follow the rules of that group, you're more than welcome to post there but not here. In addition to no business ads allowed, this group does not allow self-employed ads, multi-level marketing, sales specials, or promotions of any kind.
Don't Post What You Don't Own

It's not uncommon that we see "selling for a friend". If you don't own the item, don't put it up for sale in this group.
Real Estate Postings Not Allowed

This is a group to search for and to sell or rent personal property only. Not real estate, not time-shares, not homes for rent, not vacation rentals, etc.
Restricted Items

No selling of illegal items, weapons, items of a sexual nature. Let's keep this group safe and clean.
