🌟 Community Standards & Posting Guidelines

Welcome to The Local Spotlight — a free platform built to help real businesses shine.

We’re proud to offer this space to entrepreneurs, creators, and service providers of all kinds — but we also have a few non-negotiable rules to keep the community safe, inclusive, and focused on business.

Before submitting your business listing, please review and agree to the following:

🚫 What’s Not Allowed

• No political or religious content.
  This platform is not for campaigning, preaching, or promoting ideologies. We support freedom of belief — just not the use of this space to push those beliefs.
• No hate speech, discrimination, or bullying.
  Listings or comments that attack others based on race, gender, orientation, identity, religion, disability, or any other personal characteristic will be removed — and so will your access.
• No offensive, explicit, or harmful content.
  This includes violence, nudity, or anything that could be considered threatening, abusive, or intentionally harmful.
• No spam or fake businesses.
  Every listing should reflect a legitimate product or service. Spam, scams, or misleading info will result in a permanent ban.

✅ What’s Always Welcome

1. Real businesses serving real people, this includes freelancers.
2. Uplifting and professional content.
3. Diversity, inclusion, and respect.
4. Collaboration, not confrontation.

By submitting a listing, you agree to follow these guidelines. Failure to comply may result in removal of your listing or account.
