Travel/Tourism Channel Guidelines

Hello from the OzyKozy Admin Team.

Below are the guidelines for using the Travel/Tourism channel.

1. Channel Purpose

• This channel is dedicated to sharing travel and trip-related information across categories such as Sydney/NSW, Melbourne/VIC, Brisbane/QLD, other states/cities, national parks/nature spots, road trips/driving routes, camping/outdoor, overseas travel, travel companions wanted, travel tips & reviews, and more.

• Our aim is to build a community where members share destination recommendations, travel itineraries, experiences, companion search posts, outdoor activity info, travel tips, photos, and useful advice — helping each other plan and enjoy travel.

2. Basic Principles

• Respect & Consideration: This community includes members with diverse backgrounds and travel styles. Please respect others’ opinions, tastes, and experiences.

• Honest & Useful Information: When sharing travel tips, itineraries, costs, or reviews — be as accurate and specific as possible.

• Copyright & Attribution Respect: If you share photos, maps, guides, or other content created by others, cite the source. Avoid unauthorized use of copyrighted materials.

• Constructive and Helpful Dialogue: When posting experiences or reviews, focus on what can help others — share facts and helpful insights more than judgments or negativity.

3. Allowed Posts

You may post:

• Region-specific travel information and tips (Sydney/NSW, Melbourne/VIC, Brisbane/QLD, other regions)

• National parks, nature spots, hiking, outdoor & camping/travel-outdoor activity information

• Road trip or driving route plans and reviews

• Domestic or international travel recommendations and trip reports

• Posts seeking travel companions (friends, groups, travel buddies)

• Travel preparation tips: budgeting, packing, insurance, transportation, accommodation advice, best travel times, etc.

• Photos, itineraries, maps, and travel resources — with proper sources or your own content

• Travel tips or Q&A: questions about travel, recommendations, problem-solving, advice requests

4. Prohibited Content & Behavior

Do not post or encourage:

• False or exaggerated claims (e.g. “the only safe place”, “guaranteed best experience”)

• Sharing personal sensitive information of others (contact info, addresses, etc.)

• Advice or encouragement for illegal or unethical activities — trespassing, unauthorized stays, copyright infringement, etc.

• Discriminatory, hateful, or derogatory content based on race, nationality, gender, religion, etc.

• Political or religious agitation, or divisive debates unrelated to travel or tourism

• Commercial advertisements, referral links, unsolicited promotions, or marketing posts without admin approval

• Spam, duplicate posts, flood posts, or irrelevant content

• Use of copyrighted content without permission (photos, texts, maps, etc.)

• Explicit, violent, offensive, or inappropriate content

5. How to Write a Good Post 💡

• Be specific: include destination, travel dates, budget, group size, travel style, or other relevant details for itinerary/tips

• When possible, add photos, maps or itinerary outlines — cite sources or indicate they’re your own

• When asking for advice or suggestions, include what you’ve already looked up or tried — helps others give better feedback

• If you received helpful tips or used shared information, consider posting a follow-up sharing your experience or results

• Express gratitude — a simple “thank you” for helpful replies goes a long way
