The TravCave Constitution

TravCave is built on trust, helpfulness, and respect. These guidelines ensure our community remains a welcoming space for digital nomads worldwide.

Acceptable Content

We encourage content that helps fellow nomads thrive:

Helpful information — Share accurate details about places, costs, and experiences that help others plan their journeys.
Honest reviews — Provide genuine feedback based on personal experience, including both positives and areas for improvement.
Accurate locations — Ensure pins, addresses, and directions are correct and up-to-date.
Respectful discussions — Engage with others courteously, even when you disagree.
Constructive feedback — When suggesting edits, explain why the change improves accuracy.

Prohibited Content

The following content is not allowed and will be removed:

Spam or promotional content — No advertising, affiliate links, or purely commercial posts without genuine value.
Hate speech or discrimination — No content targeting individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.
Harassment or personal attacks — No bullying, threats, doxxing, or content intended to intimidate others.
Intentionally false information — No deliberately misleading reviews, fake locations, or fabricated details.
Commercial self-promotion — No using places or reviews primarily to advertise your own business or services.
Illegal content — No content promoting illegal activities or violating local laws.

The Three Strikes Rule

Fair but firm enforcement

We believe in giving people a chance to learn from mistakes, but repeat violations will result in escalating consequences:

1First violation — Warning notification with explanation of the rule broken and guidance on how to comply.
2Second violation — 7-day suspension from posting, editing, and reviewing. Your account remains visible.
3Third violation — Permanent ban from TravCave. This decision is final for severe cases but may be appealed for borderline situations.
