Safety rules for our community.

Never post a child’s photo, full name, school, class timing, flat number or daily route, not even your own child’s. Never offer or ask for tuition, coaching, sports or babysitting through private one to one chat with a minor: an adult family member must be in every conversation. Adults must not contact a minor directly through anything they find here.

Handovers, viewings, test rides and first meetings happen in the lobby, clubhouse, parking or gate area, never inside a home. If you are a woman, a senior citizen or a minor, take someone with you. Tell one neighbour where you are going.

Never pay in advance to someone you have not met. Dakoo, the admin and the maker never collect money and never hold deposits. Anyone asking you to pay Dakoo, pay an admin, share an OTP, share a bank password, or send a token amount to block a deal is running a scam. Report them immediately.

House help, cooks, drivers, guards and gardeners must never be listed as if they were goods. Share a contact with their permission, describe their work respectfully, and never post their photo, ID, address or salary without consent. Discrimination by caste, religion, region, gender or skin colour is not allowed anywhere on Dakoo.

Adoption and fostering only. No selling, no breeding services, no rehoming for a price. Vaccination status must be stated honestly when a pet changes hands.

No abuse, threats, stalking, unwanted personal messages, casteist or communal remarks, body shaming or gossip about neighbours. No adult, violent or gambling content of any kind. Repeated personal messages after someone has said no is harassment and is treated as such.

Do not post anyone else’s phone number, flat number, photo, vehicle number or CCTV footage without their clear permission. Do not screenshot Dakoo conversations into other groups.

No weapons, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, prescription medicines, fireworks trading, lotteries, betting, chain schemes, counterfeit goods or unlicensed services. Illegal activity is removed and reported to the authorities.

Every pool, club and roots room has its rules pinned at the top. Talk about what the room is for. No selling into a room that was not made for selling, no forwarding what people said there, and no adding outsiders. What is discussed in a room stays for the members of that room.

Only the person named on the rental agreement may join it. Not a spouse, parent, child or other relative of that person, and never an owner or landlord. Joining it falsely is a permanent ban from Dakoo, and so is vouching for somebody who does.

Invite only people who actually live here. If somebody you invited turns out to be an outsider, they are removed and so are you. If you got in falsely, everyone you invited goes with you. Dakoo keeps a record of who invited whom, and everyone affected is told why.

In a bulk buy, members pick their own negotiator between themselves. That person speaks for nobody until the group agrees. No collecting money on behalf of others, no advance payments to a member, and no vendor kickbacks. Dakoo is not part of the money, the deal, the discount or the quality.

Reporting is there to keep the board clean, not to settle scores. False or repeated bad-faith reports are treated as abuse and carry the same penalties as the thing being reported.

You must be 18 or older to post, sell, hire or join a pool. Teenagers can take part in sports and hobby groups only with a parent’s account and a parent present at meetings.
