There has been a bit of confusion regarding what is acceptable and what is not as far as the creation of new communities.  We must respect each community.  Everyone will always have the ability to post their blog posts to any community they choose.  However, in order to clarify our position on the creation of communities.....

We ask that everyone adhere to the guidelines below:

Adding "The" before a neighborhood which has already been created is not acceptable.  The only time it is acceptable is when you have a community that needs "the" before it.  For example, The Arboretum.  Arboretum would not suffice and the community is known as "The Arboretum". In situations where a dispute arises, we will do our best to give precedence to the person who created the first community, or who had the first sponsorship in place.

Adding "Homes for Sale" or "Real Estate" (or other similar phrases) after a community is not acceptable in order to thwart another members sponsorship of the same community.

If you have misspelled communities, we can now make corrections to spelling. Please email support@activerain.com with a link to the misspelled community page and the correct spelling for that community.

Thank you to everyone who is creating amazing content to fill out these community pages. Your efforts are starting to gain traction in the search engines and resulting in increased traffic. We have no question that as the days, weeks and months go on that these pages will continue to rise in the search engines and reward your efforts with increased visibility and more clients.

Let it Rain!
