New Neighborhood
Welcome!
My Neighbors' Referrals (MNR) is growing, and you can sign your neighborhood up for
free. As a moderator, you will be responsible for adding new neighbors, removing neighbors who move
away from your neighborhood, and monitoring referrals written by your neighbors. We supply the simple tools
you'll need, all are web based, and you will need to spend almost no time each month in moderator
related activities.
Get Started
Fill in this form, and click the submit button, and we will set up your neighborhood
with you as moderator. If you just want to ask questions, and are not sure yet whether to join, just
write your questions in the comment box. We'll get in touch with you by email.
MNR History
Our neighborhood in Chapel Hill NC has an email list that we all use to plan block parties, announce
local events, etc. We found that a large number of emails were sent asking for advice on contractors
(pest control, foundation repair, electricians, etc.). MNR grew out of our desire to compile our
neighbors' recommendations and referrals. We don't allow negative referrals, nor do we allow paid
advertisements. The basic idea is that you will know the person recommending a plumber - you won't be
relying on paid advertisements, or web sites that purport to be review sites but are actually shilling
for the contractors. That's the whole idea, in a nutshell.
Privacy
We do have a privacy policy (click the link below). To summarize it, though, we never
contact your neighbors for any reason other than if they forget their password, or if one of their referrals
is considered "inappropriate". We don't divulge your information, nor your neighbors' information to
anyone (unless required by law). We do our best to keep non-neighbors from joining your neighborhood.
Your neighbors' contact information will only be visible to fellow neighbors. As moderator, your contact
information will be protected as well. MNR forwards requests to join your neighborhood to you, without
revealing your contact information to the requester.
