eLLVate works because people are decent to each other on it. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior of any kind - harassment, hate speech, threats, sexual content involving minors, or content that promotes violence or illegal activity will get content removed and accounts suspended or terminated, without warning for serious violations. Our Community Guidelines describe what that looks like in more detail and are part of these Terms. When using the app, you agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, or demean another member.
- Post content that is illegal, defamatory, or deliberately false.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
- Post spam, or use the app to advertise unrelated products or services.
- Attempt to access another member’s account, or interfere with the app’s normal operation.
Petitions specifically are a way to raise a genuine local issue with the HOA board - they must stay focused on the issue itself, not name or accuse specific board members or staff. A petition reaching its signature goal is a respectful request for the board’s consideration, never a demand or a guarantee of any particular outcome or timeline. Petitions open once the community reaches 200 members; from that point, each one needs signatures from 20% of the community to reach its goal, a number fixed the moment the petition starts so it doesn’t change as the community grows.
