Just curious as to what you all think makes a good neighbor. I'm relatively new here and am still learning the ropes. All opinions welcome.. Feel free to go into as much detail as you'd like.
thanks!

This is my opinion, I think a good neighbor helps with boat crates, puts good things up for sale in stand, revives my trees and bushes. Buys from me on a regular basis, and doesn't take everything. I in turn do the same.
I have my own standards, so here goes...I never ask for help on sugar/dairy boats. I try to open one crate of each item on the boat to let neighbors get thank you cards. I mostly sell good stuff, and if I am loading my stand while a neighbor is there, I will sometimes put up expansion items for 1 coin for them. When visiting a neighbor's stand, I never take all their goodies, only a couple items because I want their other neighbors to be able to get goodies too. I sometimes write notes to neighbors in my farm name, just to be friendly. I hit the like button on all my neighbor's farms. Isn't it funny...hay day etiquette!
Thanks for the replies!
Hay Day etiquette IS funny and is the main reason why I am asking this question in the first place! I know raiding is considered a big No-No. I'm also seeing people say that they aren't into helping out with sugar and dairy crates and I'm wondering the reasoning for this? Is it because these particular items take long to produce?
Sugar and dairy are ingredients that are used in many products. Few of us have surplus of those items. I will help when I can, but that is unusual.Quote:

Im sure you'll get lots of good advice and tips, but the main thing is play the game the way you want to play! If something sounds good, try it out, see if it works for you, if not, no problem! That's the beauty of HD! You're the boss!
As far as being a good neighbor, helping out with boat crates if you want and are able to, and watering trees and shrubs are always appreciated. Keeping a varied supply of goods in your stand is a sign of neighborliness, but again what you decide to sell and for how much is wholly up to you!
About the only two ways to be labeled a "bad" neighbor is by raiding... the practice of buying out a stand all at once or several times in row. It's a very divisive touchy topic for some around here, but you'll soon get an idea of where people stand on the subject if you read through some of the older threads on it.
The second way is by stealing a trade. Even though trading isn't officially sanction by Supercell, when two players are trading items, the etiquette is that an item in a stand's last box (& usually priced well below max) is hands off since its most likely a private trade item. Again it's a touchy topic for some, but since a lot of players don't join the forums, they really have no idea of these kinds of "infractions."
You've made the first major step toward be a good neighbor by coming here and asking your question, so happy farming! You can add me on GC if you'd like. I think you'd fit right in with the rest of my neighborhood!
Lady Jem you said what I failed to say.Quote:

On being a good neighbor, my ideas are more specific:
A neighbor is anyone on my friends, followers, and helpers list. Some of this also goes for farms I encounter in the dd and boat leader board.
Check all neighbors at least two times a day to see if they need anything. Frequent players, more often. Friends, since there is a dedicated tab, much more often.
Take care of their needs as best I can, including contributing coveted items to boat orders. No item is off limits if I have enough of it and it is not in the next boat order for my farm.
Help low level farms by buying full priced goods from them, and placing default priced or deeply discounted low level items in my rss for them.
Refilling my rss several times daily with a mix of premium and discounted items.
Purchasing considerately...my definition for my own behavior only is one or two of premium or discounted items, all I want/need of full priced common items. Since my barn is usually full, I don't buy frivolously anyway.
Shop the dd for items I see a neighbor needs that I do not have in stock to provide for them.
Grow or manufacture items for neighbors in need.
Leave messages (thanks, help needed, absences from play, attempts to let a farm know i have put a needed item in my rss, etc,) on the farm name board. Also make rss purchases as invitations to farms needing something to come to my rss where I have put the needed item.
Interpret generously.
There are good neighbor things I do not do:
I do not open crates unless I need to, so am not helpful in that way. Any opened crate not filled in ten minutes or so by a neighbor goes into the dd with a request for help (meanwhile I am busy shopping for it hoping to fill the crate myself).
I would like to help by opening crates, but I play usually for short periods multiple times daily and can't monitor open crates effectively.
I don't play as much on weekends, so that could be seen as a negative.
I don't do much rearranging on my farm, so it loses some entertainment value.

A good neighbor will never put up cream/sugar/dairy I don't really understand WHY anyone does this in the first place (unless doing captain thing) it's utterly pointless because most people won't help you fill it either so you're left doing it yourself anyways so might as well put something else up for help.
Unfortunately, half my neighbors do this and I'm too lazy to delete.
But yeah, mainly revive trees, help boats :D.
I usually raid people's roadside shop T_T. If it's items I Need (well, want) then I'll take everything lol. I didn't realize it was frowned upon by people lol. I mean who wouldn't buy all 40 jams of the 4 different jams :( . It was just so irresistible!
