Welcome to Good Neighbors, an email discussion group for Hyde Park and the neighborhoods around it.
1) Good Neighbors is a Hyde Park Chicago email list to talk about what matters in our neighborhood specifically. Please keep it local.
2) To the tune of the Encanto song, "We don't talk about OPC." We tried, we learned that like religion and politics, this wasn't good neighbor chat.
3) Before hitting send & reply all, pause, take a breathe, and ask yourself... do 1000+ people need this in their inbox.
4) Be kind. The listhost is called Good Neighbors, so this shouldn't need to be stated, but we give grace and assume the best of our fellow posters. Different opinions are ok, but insults, bullying, slander, and bickering will get you moderated.
5) Rules are subject to change at the management's discretion to keep the peace. For Jay, running this list was like taking care of his baby. I have a 6-year-old, so Good Neighbors is more like my family dog. I'm going to feed, water, and keep you alive, but I will not take you to the park every day.
Violators of posting guidelines will be given a warning. Repeated warnings or egregious behavior will result in being moved to moderated status.
