Community Guidelines

• Nothing can be purchased, sold, or traded. Instead offer, ask, or borrow.
• Be honest (about the condition of your goods, who you are, etc.).
• Only offer items that are legal. If an item is age restricted (e.g., alcohol), please do not offer it.
• Be gender inclusive (don’t assume people are marrying someone of the opposite sex; don’t assume only brides are in this community; use the pronouns people list in their profile).
• You can join more than one channel if you’re willing to drive further, but you must post any offers in the channel closest to where you live.
• Self-promotion and advertising is not allowed. Please use this for your individual needs, not your business needs.
• Harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated.
• If a moderator suspects you have acted outside of the community guidelines, you will either receive a warning or be removed depending on severity.

There isn’t currently a Something Borrowed Community where I live. Can I help start one?
