Community guidelines

TrailNote is most useful when every contribution gives the next traveler one practical thing they can actually use.

Good contributions

Share first-hand details

What you paid, saw, used, or learned yourself.

Include when you visited

Freshness helps the next traveler judge the information.

Be specific

A route, fare, room type, useful contact, or practical warning.

Report changes

Add an update instead of erasing useful history.

Don't use TrailNote for

Advertising

TrailNote is not a promotional listing directory.

Copied reviews

Do not repost text or images from elsewhere.

Private information

Do not publish personal numbers or sensitive details.

Harassment

Keep contributions about useful travel information.

When information changes

Use the Changed action to add a new observation. TrailNote keeps the earlier report visible so travelers can see what changed and when.

How moderation works

Report content that is spam, inaccurate, unsafe, or exposes private information. Reports go to a private moderator queue and do not automatically remove a traveler tip.
