Community Guidelines

Last updated: August 2026

Listing.Press is a United States-based independent public information, aggregation, and local information platform.

These Community Guidelines apply to comments, community submissions, local notices, photographs, reports, business information, personal listings, event submissions, corrections, and other material submitted by users through Listing.Press.

Our objective is to maintain a useful, lawful, reliable, and community-focused information environment while allowing members of the public to contribute relevant local information.

These Guidelines should be read together with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Copyright & DMCA Policy, and Editorial Policy.

1. Community Participation

Listing.Press may provide tools that allow users to contribute information to the platform.

Community participation may include:

  • Local information submissions
  • Community notices
  • Event information
  • Local business information
  • Personal listings
  • Photographs or other media
  • Corrections
  • Source information
  • Comments
  • Public-interest reports

Submission does not guarantee publication.

2. Accuracy

Users should make reasonable efforts to ensure that information submitted to Listing.Press is accurate.

You should not knowingly submit:

  • Materially false information
  • Fabricated events
  • False accusations
  • Misleading business information
  • Falsified documents
  • Manipulated evidence presented as authentic
  • False emergency information
  • Impersonated official statements

If information is uncertain, developing, secondhand, or unverified, users should clearly communicate that limitation where relevant.

3. Source Transparency

Where reasonably possible, users should identify the source of factual information they submit.

Useful source information may include:

  • A link to an official announcement
  • A government or agency source
  • A business announcement
  • A public record
  • An original photograph
  • A firsthand description
  • A credible publication
  • Other supporting documentation

Listing.Press may request additional source information before publishing a submission.

4. Firsthand Information

If you personally witnessed an event, you may identify your submission as firsthand information.

Users should not falsely claim to have personally witnessed something that they learned about from another person, website, publication, social media account, or other source.

5. Developing Events

Information relating to emergencies, accidents, public safety incidents, severe weather, transportation disruptions, or other developing events can change quickly.

Users should avoid presenting uncertain or preliminary information as confirmed fact.

Where appropriate, Listing.Press may:

  • Delay publication
  • Request additional verification
  • Label information as unconfirmed
  • Update the submission
  • Remove inaccurate information

6. Emergency Information

Listing.Press is not an emergency service.

Community submissions should not be used as a substitute for contacting emergency services or appropriate authorities.

Users should not submit knowingly false emergency warnings, evacuation orders, missing-person alerts, public safety instructions, or similar communications.

For immediate threats to life, health, safety, or property, contact the appropriate emergency services or competent public authorities.

7. Respectful Participation

Community participation should remain relevant to the subject and should not be used primarily to target, intimidate, or harass other people.

Listing.Press may restrict or remove content involving:

  • Credible threats of violence
  • Unlawful harassment
  • Targeted intimidation
  • Encouragement of violence
  • Repeated abusive targeting of an individual
  • Malicious publication of private information

8. Hate and Unlawful Discrimination

Listing.Press may remove or restrict content that unlawfully threatens, harasses, or discriminates against people.

Discussion of controversial topics, public affairs, historical events, policies, organizations, or public statements is not automatically prohibited merely because it is critical or unpopular.

Context, legality, public interest, and the nature of the content may be considered when moderation decisions are made.

9. Personal Information and Doxxing

Users should not publish highly sensitive or private personal information about another person without an appropriate lawful and legitimate reason.

Users should generally avoid submitting:

  • Private home addresses
  • Personal telephone numbers
  • Private email addresses
  • Government identification numbers
  • Financial account information
  • Passwords or login credentials
  • Medical records
  • Precise private location information
  • Other highly sensitive private information

Information contained in legitimate public records or relevant public-interest reporting may be evaluated differently depending on the circumstances and applicable law.

10. Children and Minors

Users should exercise particular care when submitting information, photographs, or identifying details concerning minors.

Listing.Press may restrict or remove material involving minors where publication presents privacy, exploitation, safety, or legal concerns.

Users should not submit sexualized, exploitative, or otherwise unlawful material involving minors.

11. Copyright

Users may only submit material that they have the lawful right to provide.

Do not upload photographs, videos, articles, graphics, documents, or other copyrighted works belonging to another person or organization unless you have appropriate permission or another lawful basis.

Providing a source credit does not automatically create permission to reproduce copyrighted material.

For more information, review our Copyright & DMCA Policy.

12. Photographs and Media

If you submit photographs, videos, graphics, or other media, you represent that you have the rights or authority reasonably necessary to provide the material for the intended use.

Users should not submit media that:

  • Was unlawfully obtained
  • Violates another person’s copyright
  • Contains unlawful private surveillance material
  • Was materially manipulated in a deceptive manner
  • Creates an unjustified safety or privacy risk

13. Graphic and Disturbing Material

Listing.Press may restrict or remove graphic or disturbing material.

Community contributors should avoid submitting unnecessary:

  • Other highly disturbing material

Where material has genuine public-interest relevance, Listing.Press may consider whether a less graphic alternative can communicate the necessary information.

18. Business Disputes and Reviews

Listing.Press may request supporting information where serious factual allegations are submitted.

19. Personal Listings

Users submitting personal listings are responsible for ensuring that the listing is lawful, accurate, and not materially misleading.

Users should independently verify buyers, sellers, service providers, and other transaction participants.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Listing.Press is not a party to transactions resulting from user-submitted listings.

Users should not knowingly submit fabricated election information, impersonated official instructions, or other materially deceptive civic information.

25. Opinions

Personal opinions should not knowingly be presented as independently verified facts.
