I joined Nabo with high hopes of getting different types of events posted to start connecting with my neighbors now I've retired.
The website itself is not user friendly and hard to navigate and find things. More often then not it was just advertising and a few posts by neighbors. But I did connect with a great group that got together for lunches every month.
This group was going along fabulously until recently when one member with mental health issues started causing all sorts of trouble within the group. I realise most of the group didn't really know the full story but posts by the troubled member were quite obviously not appropriate and Nabo would remove them regularly. Some of us blocked this person but Nabo continued to allow her to remain removing her posts as necessary. They did nothing concrete to stop the problem which would have been removing the troublemaker herself. Unfortunately the group that probably was made up of about 15 members is now no more. So 14 other people were not given any consideration by Nabo for the sake of one. According to Nabo they can't block anyone from a particular thread so without having to shut the thread down there is no way to remove a troublemaker if they don't leave Nabo. We, as a group, had previously discussed the various failings of Nabo and that the website needs a major overhaul. Just a warning to all to be careful of getting too involved with anything within Nabo because they do little when things go bad
