Community Guidelines

Our mission is to be an HOAs hub for trusted connections and the exchange of helpful information, getting support and helping residents collaborate on issues and ideas for their community.We want residents to feel supported, welcomed and respected when using Zonzon. We have developed a set of Community Guidelines describing what behaviors are – and are not – allowed on Zonzon. Our Guidelines can be boiled down the Golden Rule – treat one another as you would want to be treated. Everyone on your network are only those residents who specifically live or own property in your specific HOA. Please promote a community built on supporting one another.We rely on you, the residents who make up the Zonzon community, to report content that violates these Guidelines. Violating the Community Guidelines has consequences, which may include removal of content, suspension of posting privileges, or even a permanent ban from Zonzon. Because of the diversity of people in any neighborhood, please keep in mind that while something may be disagreeable to you, it may not violate our Community Guidelines.Learn more about Zonzon’s moderation systems for enforcing the Community Guidelines in “Reporting Abuse”.Zonozn’s Community Network Platform is built to help residents in HOA communities leverage their collective structural power to create better communication, transparency and accountability.

The heart and soul of Zonzon is the support that residents are able to give each other in addressing issues or promoting great ideas. When conversations turn confrontational, everyone on Zonzon suffers. Our Guidelines prohibit posts and replies that discriminate against, attack, insult, shame, bully, or belittle others.Zonzon is a communication platform that allows neighbors to mobilize residents to support issues and ideas and get things done like never before.
