Content Policy

November 13, 2007

HOAInTouch.com is a service for communication and bringing neighborhoods together. We believe that this service facilitates necessary communication that is becoming increasingly difficult.

We respect our users' ownership of and responsibility for the content they choose to share. It is our belief that censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on the sharing of information and ideas.

In an effort to ensure that content meets these objectives, we have outlined the the rules around what content can be posted and the proper use of this service.

  • Pedophilia, Incest and Bestiality: Users may not publish written, image or video content that promotes pedophilia, incest and bestiality.
  • Commercial Pornography: We do not allow content that exists for the primary purpose of monetizing porn content or driving traffic to a monetized pornography site.
  • Child Pornography: RDC has a zero-tolerance policy against child pornography, and we will terminate and report to the appropriate authorities any user who publishes or distributes child pornography.
