I wanted to say a BIG thank u to the Neighbourly Support Team. Firstly my message to you was handled in a timely manner and secondly it was dealt with appropriately.
Although my replies to the messages that were made on my posts no longer make sense or have any context as the other posts have been deleted I am really happy with the outcome.
We have all come across keyboard warriors, negativity and those that bring with them clouds rather than sunshine as they interact online but it is safe to say Neighbourly is not ok with that and will act to keep it a safe, friendly and respectful forum for all.
If you have an issue don't hesitate to reach out to them.Thanks again Neighbourly.
Peace :-)
