About Public/Private Neighborhoods
i-Neighbors is about meeting and communicating with new neighbors. We recommend all neighborhoods be created as 'public'. Anyone can join a 'public' neighborhood. A 'private' neighborhood requires you to approve or deny each request to join the neighborhood - for a popular neighborhood this can be a lot of work. However, there are some situations when you may want to limit membership in a neighborhood, the most common reason is that you are creating this service for a community association or other formal group with a fixed membership roster. Public neighborhoods require no further input or maintenace by you. You can change the public/private setting along with the neighborhood description at any time.

i-neighbors Terms of Use ------------------------------------------------------------------ i-neighbors is your neighborhood's home on the Internet. i-neighbors is part of an ongoing research project at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). The goal of this project is to help neighborhood residents communicate, share information and become involved in their communities. Another goal is to learn more about the impact of the Internet and computer use on community life. 1. Acceptance of Terms All use of i-neighbors website and related services ("i-neighbors") is subject to the following terms of use ("Terms"), which may be changed or modified by [UPenn/i-neighbors] at any time. You can review the most current version of the Terms at: http://www.i-neighbors.org/terms.php. By using i-neighbors in any way, you are agreeing to comply with the then-current Terms.

The information that will be examined includes user profiles, emails sent to neighborhood email discussion lists, communications sent from users to government officials and any content that users voluntarily contribute to i-neighbors.org. Your participation is completely voluntary, and you are free to discontinue use of these services and participation in the research study at any time.
