Guidelines

We are very pleased by everyone who is adding and editing information. It helps the community to be informed with the latest information. Our goal is to inform as many users in the best possible way, and therefore we created a few guidelines that needs to be respected. The guidelines are pretty straight forward, and they are not difficult to understand. We just ask everyone who contributes to use hers or his common sense. With that expertise, everything should be fine.

1. Content should only be about bicycle touring related subjects

Yes, that's right, this is a bicycle touring platform, and we want to inform people about bicycle touring, and bicycle touring ONLY. There is no room for other travel types. Therefore, you should try to find another platform.

2. Write in English

The most common travel language is English, and we ask everyone to write in English. This counts for all the information that is contributed on the country pages. On your own profile, you are free to write in which language you want. In the near future we might implement a translation system, which will make it possible to write in any language you want.

3. Respect other users

We're all different, and we like to keep it that way. This platform is meant to talk about bicycle touring related subject. Any form of discrimination will be rejected. Instead, be kind to each other and enjoy life ;)

**4. Correct information
**

Information that is contributed needs to be correct. Of course, everyone can make a mistake, but keep in mind that your information can be seen as the only source of information available, and therefore we ask you to be accurate in what you write. In the worst case, wrong information can lead to dangerous situations.

5. Spam and advertisement

Generating attention for personal gain is seen as spam, and will not be tolerated. Don't use your name or share links at places where it doesn't add value. Instead, try to add valuable places like border crossings, places to obtain a visa, or see and do items. The better they are, the more traffic you might generate to your own profile. On your profile page, you are able to be as creative as possible with the content you want to share. Just keep in mind that most people don't appreciate spam at all, so try to hold your horses.

Conclusion

We ask everyone to keep the above guidelines in mind. If you happen to violate these guidelines, or behave indifferent in any other way, your content will be edited or deleted. We will warn you if you do so. As mentioned before, mistakes can be made, so we hope that you will learn from it. On the other hand, we will see it as a sign to improve the functionality of the community. However, if we notice that you violate the guidelines on purpose, we will consider to delete your account permanently.

May the winds be with you!
