Look, we’re all about celebrating Joplin — its quirks, its culture, and its people. But every great community needs a few house rules to keep things safe, fun, and drama-free.
Here’s how we roll:
Some things just don’t fly on Explore Joplin.
We don’t allow listings, posts, or promotions that involve:
Yes, Missouri has legal dispensaries, and yes, they’re part of our local scene.
Here’s how we handle it:
We love local businesses, but we’re not a sales platform for cannabis products.
Think of us as your friendly neighborhood directory — not a dispensary menu.
Explore Joplin is here to spotlight your story, your business, and your creativity.
Here’s how we handle content:
We want Explore Joplin to feel like… well, Joplin. That means celebrating what makes our city unique and skipping the spammy, gimmicky stuff.
Here’s what that looks like:
Our goal is simple: build a space that reflects Joplin’s culture, supports local businesses, and creates genuine connections — not just noise.
We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or remove any listing, promotion, or content at our sole discretion, for any reason, and without notice. This includes (but isn’t limited to) anything we believe breaks these guidelines, violates laws, or just doesn’t vibe with Explore Joplin.
We’re here to hype Joplin, not get caught in lawsuits. Explore Joplin is not responsible for any damages, losses, or disputes that come from the inclusion, exclusion, or removal of a listing. By submitting, you agree to these terms and release Explore Joplin from liability.
We might tweak these guidelines from time to time. By continuing to use Explore Joplin, you’re agreeing to the latest version (don’t worry, we’ll keep it clear and simple).
These Community Guidelines are written to keep things approachable. For the full legal nitty-gritty, check out our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
