1. Membership

FAC is primarily for current residents of 75 W. 1st Avenue.

Admins or moderators may invite or allow guests in special situations.

2. Be Respectful

Treat your neighbors with kindness. Disagreements happen — keep it civil.

No personal attacks, hate speech, or harassment of any kind.

3. Stay on Topic

Posts should relate to our building, neighborhood, or community life.

Social chatter is totally welcome — just keep it friendly and inclusive.

4. Protect Privacy

Don’t share anyone’s personal details (emails, phone numbers, unit numbers) without consent.

Remember: this is a shared space, not a private chat.

5. No Spam or Promotions

No ads, business promos, or unrelated events.

Sharing useful community resources or recommendations is fine — just keep it relevant.

6. Keep it Clean

Avoid offensive language, graphic content, or anything that could make neighbors uncomfortable.

7. Use Common Sense

If you wouldn’t say it face-to-face in the lobby, don’t post it here.

Respect moderators’ decisions — they’re here to keep things running smoothly.

Admins and moderators may remove content or ban users who break these rules. This may happen without discussion or warning.
