Welcome to Explore Joplin! We’re all about connecting you with the best local businesses, events, and brands that make the Joplin area a great place to live and visit. To keep this platform fun, safe, and useful for everyone, we’ve created these community guidelines. Thanks for playing your part in making Explore Joplin awesome!
Explore Joplin’s mission is to transform how people explore, discover, and connect with local businesses and organizations. By fostering these connections, we aim to build a stronger, more vibrant community that benefits everyone.
Safety is the foundation of any thriving community. To ensure this, we do not allow content or listings that involve:
Illegal activities or violations of city, state, or federal laws.
Businesses or promotions related to:
Organized crime, terrorism, or hate groups.
Pornography or sexual services.
Legal or illegal drugs, including dispensaries (certified pharmacies are excluded).
Vape shops, marijuana dispensaries, liquor stores, strip clubs, or gambling establishments (unless explicitly approved by us in writing).
Firearms (unless sold by certified resellers).
Any unsafe or harmful activities.
When using Explore Joplin, all businesses must comply with FTC guidelines. You can learn more about these requirements here.
We also work closely with law enforcement when there are risks of physical harm or direct threats to public safety. If in doubt, leave it out!
Your privacy is a priority. Here’s what you can count on:
We do not share or sell your personal information—ever.
When you create an account, use your real name and authentic identity. Impersonating another business, brand, or event you’re not authorized to represent is strictly prohibited.
Explore Joplin is a place to showcase your story, your business, and your creativity. Here’s how we handle content:
You own everything you upload, but by posting on Explore Joplin, you give us implied consent to feature your content in our marketing. This helps grow the community and spotlight your business.
Don’t want your content shared in marketing? No problem! You can opt out at any time by letting us know.
Please ensure all content respects copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights. Let’s keep it fair and square.
We prioritize meaningful content that strengthens the community. This means:
Avoid spam, clickbait, and bait-and-switch advertising.
Paid advertisements and exclusive offers must add value to the community. If we feel your design doesn’t align with this goal, we may contact you for revisions before approval.
Help us keep the platform spam-free by only contacting listings for relevant reasons.
Let’s work together to create a space that celebrates Joplin’s unique culture and fosters genuine connections.
Explore Joplin is home to a diverse community, and mutual respect is non-negotiable. We do not tolerate:
Profanity, harassment, hate speech, or threats of any kind.
Attacks based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disabilities, or diseases.
Negative reviews that include profanity, hate speech, or calls to boycott a business.
Example: Leaving a 1-star review is fine, but keep it respectful. Reviews with hate speech, profanity, or personal attacks will be removed.
Certain businesses and listings are not allowed on our platform. These include:
Businesses engaging in activities illegal under city, state, or federal law.
Vape shops, dispensaries, liquor stores, gambling establishments, or anything else deemed inappropriate for our community.
We reserve the right to remove or decline listings that violate these policies. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, contact us before submitting your listing.
We’re all in this together! If you see something that doesn’t align with these guidelines, let us know by clicking the Report button on the listing page.
Every report is reviewed individually, and your feedback helps us maintain a safe and welcoming platform for everyone.
Together, we can make Explore Joplin the go-to hub for all things local. Thanks for being part of our community!
