      Our Guidelines For Forum posts

      We value your contributions to our site and encourage you to use our forums to interact with your fellow travellers to assist with your trip planning. We also want to make sure that Global Grapevine is a safe and trustworthy source for our global community. To help us with this goal please ensure your posts comply with the following…

      Family-Friendly

      To maintain a safe, family-friendly environment on our forums, we ask our members to limit their comments to courteous and respectful language at all times. Any posts that include sexually explicit comments, hate-speech, prejudiced remarks, calls for boycott of any destination or business, threats or profanity will be removed. We only publish posts written by travellers over the age of 13.

      Relevant to Travellers

      Keep your forum posts relevant and helpful to travellers. Please don’t include personally insulting language or any personal opinions about political, ethical, religious or wider social issues. Bear in mind that other travellers are reading your posts for trip planning and research, not for reviews of your experience with a particular business.

      If you have a question or comment for Global Grapevine about our forums moderation, or there is an issue with your account, please contact us.

      Non-commercial

      Global Grapevine’s travel community is intended to provide advice for fellow travellers, not to advertise a service or business. Posts that are being offered in exchange for personal gain, such as gifts, services or money, will be removed.

      We reserve the right to reject specific content for any reason. Links to external websites, such as hotel websites or personal blogs that are not relevant to the topic and are used purely for promotional purposes, will be removed. We reserve the right to reject any URL for any reason. Survey requests, polls or requests for research, as well as any spam, will also be removed. If you suspect that a post is fraudulent, please contact us.

      Original

      Give us your best, most accurate advice – make sure it’s your own. Forum posts should contain original content and not include extensive quotes from other sources. Any content plagiarised from other websites, reviews, emails or printed materials will be removed. Attempts to impersonate other members or Global Grapevine moderators will also be removed.

      Respectful of Private Information

      We respect your privacy and the privacy. For this reason, any posts containing personal financial information, including credit card numbers, loyalty reward numbers or other financial information will be removed. This includes both the poster’s information and the information of others. Please be cautious when posting any personal contact details to our forums and be advised that we will remove these details upon request of the poster.

      Easy to Read

      Help other travellers get the most of your post by using the language of the forum you are posting on. Please don’t use HTML tags, excessive ALL CAPS or emoticons, or slang. Any content that is posted multiple times will be removed, so please post in the appropriate forum only once.

      Global Grapevine reserves the right to remove any content (links, text or images) which we deem inappropriate. If any member violates any of the above guidelines, we reserve the right to ban that individual from any further participation in the Global Graoevine Community.
