Community Guidelines

Effective date: October 8, 2026

Fredericksburg Moms is a place for local parents to share, ask, recommend and look out for each other. These guidelines apply to group posts, replies, direct messages, profiles and anything else you share in the app. They are part of our Terms of Service.

Be kind and respectful

  • Disagree with ideas, not people. Personal attacks, name-calling and pile-ons aren't allowed.
  • No harassment, bullying, threats or intimidation, in public posts or private messages.
  • No hate speech or slurs based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age.

Keep it family friendly

  • No sexually explicit content, nudity or links to adult content.
  • No graphic violence, and no content that encourages self-harm.
  • Profanity is filtered automatically. Please keep language appropriate for a community of parents.

Protect children and privacy

  • Never share another person's private information (address, phone number, school or schedule) without their permission.
  • Think carefully before posting photos of children. Never post photos of other people's children without a parent's permission.
  • Don't post screenshots of private messages without consent.

Be honest

  • Use your real identity. Fake accounts and impersonation aren't allowed, which is why we ask members to verify with Facebook before posting.
  • Don't spread information you know is false or misleading, including about local businesses.
  • Reviews and recommendations should reflect your real experience. If you own or work for a business you're recommending, say so.

Selling, promotion and spam

  • Local business owners are welcome to share helpful information when it's relevant, but repeated advertising, spam and unsolicited sales messages aren't allowed.
  • No multi-level marketing recruiting, chain messages or giveaways run by members (giveaways are run by Fredericksburg Moms with our sponsors).
  • No selling weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, prescription items, recalled products or anything illegal.

Respect others' work

Only share photos and content you created or have permission to use. If you believe your copyrighted work was posted without permission, email info@fredericksburgmoms.com with the details described in our Terms.

Reporting and blocking

  • Tap Report on any post to send it to our team. Reports are confidential.
  • Tap Block on a member's post or in your messages. You won't see their posts and they can't message you.
  • If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 first.

What happens if guidelines are broken

We have zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, sexual content involving minors, threats and other abusive content. Depending on what happened, we may remove content without notice, issue a warning, limit posting, or suspend or permanently ban an account. Content involving the exploitation of children is reported to the appropriate authorities. We review reports as quickly as we can, typically within 24 hours.
