Community guidelines
Ontario Caribbean Hub — how we keep the directory useful and safe. Not legal advice; see Terms and Privacy.
We are not a social network. No public comments, DMs, or follower feeds. Listings and Exchange posts are moderated before they go live when possible.
Everyone
- Be respectful of all islands and backgrounds — the Hub is for the whole diaspora and allies in Ontario.
- Do not post hate, harassment, or discrimination.
- Do not impersonate a business, charity, or person.
- Confirm hours, prices, tickets, and credentials yourself before you pay anyone.
- Use Report for scams, wrong hours, or misleading posts.
Community Exchange
- Give / Want / Volunteer — personal and community use; no paid classifieds or commercial inventory dumps.
- Meet in public places for pickups; bring a friend when you can.
- No e-transfer before pickup — Hub does not hold money or goods.
- Do not post weapons, illegal items, or adult services.
Charities & drives
- Only registered organizations or authorized representatives may post as Charity.
- Provide a valid CRA business number (BN) or registration proof when asked.
- Donation links may point off-app; we do not process donations in the Hub.
- Hurricane and emergency Alerts are curated — follow official government sources for life safety.
Businesses & events
- Claim only listings you own or are authorized to manage.
- Featured placement is paid and labeled; it is not an endorsement of quality.
- Fetes and ticketed events: state 18+ or age limits when applicable; buyers must confirm with the venue.
- Job posts: no upfront fees, passport seizure, or “pay to work” schemes — we remove scam patterns.
Enforcement
We may remove content, reject submissions, or suspend accounts that break these rules. Appeals: info@ethicaltechsolutions.com.
