Community Guidelines

Last updated 12 November 2026

bushDETS is for adults (18+) to share things, skills and services locally. These rules keep it safe and useful. Breaking them can lead to content removal or a ban.

Not allowed

Illegal items or services, including drugs, firearms and other weapons, explosives, stolen or counterfeit goods, and fake identification.

Adult sexual services or sexually explicit content.

Dangerous chemicals or anything that is unsafe to pass between people.

Scams, deception, pressure to send money, or asking people to move to another platform to pay.

Hate, harassment, threats, bullying or exploitation of any person.

Services that legally require a licence (for example electrical, gas or medical work) unless you hold that licence and are legally permitted to do the work. bushDETS does not check licences.

Anything involving children other than ordinary, lawful, parent-arranged activities.

Be a good neighbour

Be honest about what you have and what you need, and about its condition.

Be respectful. Decline politely if a trade is not right for you.

Do not share other people’s personal details.

Report anything that breaks these rules using the Report option.

BLOOMscroll and sharing publicly

Sharing in BLOOMscroll is your choice and is off by default. Only posts you mark Public are shown to other members.

Only post things you made, own, or have the right to share. Don’t show other people’s faces, addresses, number plates or private details in photos without their consent.

Free / Giveaway means genuinely free: no payment and no swap required. Don’t use a giveaway to sell, advertise or collect money.

BLOOMscroll has no advertising or sponsored posts, and members can’t pay to be promoted.

Reporting and blocking

You can report any member, listing or message, and block any member. A blocked member cannot see you, match with you or message you. Reporters’ identities are never shown to the people they report.
