Community Guidelines

Wylara is a place for real people sharing real outdoor experiences. Think of it like swapping notes around a campfire, not a marketing channel. These guidelines keep it useful, kind, and safe. Breaking them can get a post removed or an account limited.

The short version

• Be helpful and honest. Share what actually happened.
• Be kind. Disagree without attacking people.
• No selling. No ads, affiliate links, or “follow my channel.”
• Protect privacy, yours and other people’s.
• Keep it appropriate. This is an all-ages outdoors community.

What is not allowed

• Promotion and spam. No advertising, affiliate or referral links, repeated self-promotion, or driving people to other platforms. Sharing a brand you liked in passing is fine. Marketing is not.
• Harassment and hate. No attacks, slurs, or hate toward anyone based on who they are. No threats. No pile-ons.
• Explicit or graphic content. No nudity, sexual content, or graphic violence.
• Doxxing and privacy violations.Do not post anyone’s home address, exact private location, contact details, or other personal information, including your own in ways that put you at risk.
• Photos of other people. Be thoughtful about posting recognizable photos of people who have not agreed to it, and never post identifiable photos of children who are not your own. If a photo of you or your child was posted without consent, you can ask us to remove it (see our takedown page).
• Illegal or dangerous content. Nothing illegal, and nothing that encourages others to put themselves or the land at risk.
• Misinformation that could hurt someone. Do not present guesses about safety, water, fire, or road conditions as verified fact.
• Bad map spots. When you add a place to the map, only add spots you have actually been to or can vouch for, and where camping is legal and allowed. Do not add spots on private property without permission, in closed or protected areas, or in sensitive habitat. Get the location right, and follow Leave No Trace.

Safety notes are opinions, not facts

When someone says a spot “felt safe” or had “good cell signal,” that is one person’s experience on one day. It is not a guarantee. Always use your own judgment, check official sources, and tell someone your plans. Conditions change.

How moderation works

Most content is screened automatically when it is posted. Some posts are held briefly for a human to review. You can report anything that breaks these rules using the report option on a post or comment. Reports are private; the person you report does not see who reported them. You can also block someone, which hides your posts and theirs from each other.

If your post was removed and you think we got it wrong, you can request one re-review from the post.

You must be 16 or older

The Wylara community is for people 16 and up. If we learn an account belongs to someone younger, we will close it.

These guidelines work alongside our Community Terms and Community Privacy notice.
