Community Guidelines

Capable, honest, and respectful

Trail Connector works only when participants communicate honestly and leave one another safer than they found them.

Respect people and boundaries

No harassment, discrimination, threats, unwanted sexual conduct, retaliation, stalking, exploitation, or pressure to accept or continue an interaction.

Represent yourself accurately

Use your own account. Do not invent emergencies, impersonate another person, manipulate verification, conceal material hazards, or exaggerate experience, equipment, insurance, or professional status.

Put safety before completion

Anyone may stop. Follow laws, closures, land rules, manufacturer guidance, and reasonable recovery practices. Do not operate while impaired or encourage reckless behavior.

Respect privacy and property

Use location and communications only for the interaction. Do not publish a vulnerable person’s location, identifying information, private messages, or images without permission. Do not enter, move, attach to, repair, or recover property without authorization.

Report serious concerns

Use block and report tools for threats, fraud, impersonation, harassment, exploitation, dangerous conduct, or privacy abuse. Contact emergency services first when immediate danger exists.

Consequences

Trail Connector may warn, restrict, suspend, or deactivate accounts and helper privileges based on severity, history, evidence, safety, and legal obligations.
