Posting rules

Simple rules that keep listings useful and the site friendly. Listings that break them may be removed, and repeat offenders may lose their account.

Good listings

Be accurate. Describe what you're offering honestly, including its condition and the real price.
Pick the right category, type and town. Use "Others" if nothing fits.
One listing per item. Don't post the same ad repeatedly or in several categories.
Keep it local. Listings should be for the Hamilton area.
Keep it current. Remove your listing once the item is sold or the role is filled.

Anything illegal, including stolen goods, weapons, drugs, counterfeit items and recalled products.
Scams, pyramid schemes, or jobs that charge applicants fees.
Adult content or services.
Hate speech, harassment, or discrimination — including in housing and job ads.
Pets for sale (rehoming with a small fee is fine, in Community).
Other people's personal information, photos or content you don't have rights to.
Misleading prices, fake listings or "bait" ads.

Housing: follow Ontario's Human Rights Code — don't exclude people based on race, religion, family status, disability and other protected grounds. Shared accommodation where you live in the home has some exceptions.
Jobs: state the pay or pay range where you can. Never ask applicants for money or banking details.
Home food: follow local public-health rules and list common allergens.
Deals: include when the offer ends and any conditions.
