Community Guidelines

Hello Hoedspruit is a small town's app, and small towns work because people treat each other well. Disagreements are fine. Personal attacks, harassment, slurs and discrimination of any kind are not.

If you suggest an edit to a listing, event or special, make sure it is true. Do not submit fake details, do not pretend to be someone you are not or a business you do not own, and do not try to game the system to push a business up or knock one down. We review every suggested edit before it goes live, and misuse may result in blocking you from future use of the app.

This is a guide to Hoedspruit and the surrounding area. Keep your suggested edits, profile and submissions relevant to local places, events and community life. Off-topic or unrelated content may be removed.

To keep the app useful for everyone, please do not:

• Submit the same content repeatedly across listings, events or specials.
• Use your profile or suggested edits to promote your own business or services.
• Share affiliate links, referral codes or unrelated marketing material.
• Create multiple accounts to influence follows or visibility.

Do not submit or share anything that is illegal under South African law, infringes someone else’s rights or encourages others to break the law. This includes hate speech, threats, sexual content involving minors and content that promotes violence.

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, report it through the app or email us. You can also block another user from their profile. We review reports as quickly as we can and may remove content, warn users or suspend accounts depending on what we find. Serious or repeated breaches can lead to a permanent ban.
