How we moderate sites on WikiCamps

  • Updated

Our team are regularly reviewing and moderating all of the sites on WikiCamps.
All sites will be moderated according to our Community Guidelines whenever a new site is added or any user reports a site.

 

Moderating sites

When will we take action?

Our team will take action on a site if the listing breaks any of our Community Guidelines or:

  • Insufficient information has been provided for us to validate the site,
  • The site does not qualify as a point of interest,
  • Other community members reported that the site does not exist,
  • The site has closed,
  • The site is a duplicate and is already available on WikiCamps,
  • A request was made to remove the site because:
     
    • The property owner or a reliable source informs us that the site has been sold or is privately owned,
    • A local government or authoritative body have requested it be removed*,
    • The traditional owners of the land have requested a site be removed for cultural significance

*Responsible camping practices
The most common reason a governing body will request the removal of a site is due to poor treatment of the location by travellers. In order to preserve great camping locations for future travellers, we encourage everyone to travel thoughtfully, dispose of waste responsibly and respect the land and facilities provided by businesses and local governments alike.

 

How will we take action?

Our moderators make every effort to work with reports to preserve a site listing wherever possible. In many cases we can change the site type or add information to better clarify. In the event that a site must be removed we:

  1. Mark the site as "Permanently closed",
  2. Provide the reason for the closed status,
  3. Invite users to report incorrect information or a change in circumstances at any stage during the closure process, and
  4. Delist the site after 30 days.
