Global-Guide Community Policy

As a member who brings our Web 3.0 Maps to life, guiders write reviews, post photos and gather facts that make it easier, tastier and more fun to navigate the world. Guiders will be given a badge which symbolises on-the-ground expertise and a commitment to sharing everyday experiences that inform real-time decisions across the globe. From photographing a must-order dish to adding a small business, Guiders capture stories that lead neighbours, travellers, and everyone in between toward a better understanding of the places around them. The community takes that mission seriously.

Guiders earn their badges as well as income through consistent contributions that express these values.

Some tips to best contribute to community

Share thoughtful reviews and comments:

Always include notable information about a place and your experience. Avoid vague, generic, and repetitive comments like reviews that just say “ok”, “good”, or “yum”. Describe the setting, the design, the vibe, the highs and/or lows, and relevant specifics.

Restaurants, cafes, and bars: Say what you ordered and would recommend or avoid.

Shops: Describe the selection, price range, service, and the type of clientele who might like it.

Take photos that clearly and accurately represent a location

Photos help to tell the story of a place. To do that, it’s important that images are relevant and in focus. It’s helpful to take advantage of natural light, try shots from different angles before uploading the best options, and zoom out enough to capture the entirety of a subject, like a horizontal photo that shows the full exterior of a building, or a restaurant dish shot from above. Also please respect the privacy of others and ask for permission or avoid taking identifiable images of people at places like schools and hospitals.

Dark, blurry, and redundant photos will be removed. Users who duplicate photos across locations, or post images that infringe on copyrights, will also be removed.

• Be trustworthy

Contributions must be based on real experiences and information. Deliberately fake edits, copied or stolen photos, off-topic answers, defamatory language, personal attacks, and unnecessary or incorrect edits are all in violation of our policy. If you see this behaviour, please report it.

Users who abuse this trust will be removed from Guide- programme.

• Checkin at the exact location where you are

Share your current location and give it a name if it doesn’t. So everyone will know the place and attract more attention from the community.
