Hola all!
First of all, thank you for hanging around the forum during the last year. It has been difficult, but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now I think.
I have been thinking about making some slight changes to the forum rules and the way we do things on the forum, so this is the reason for this thread. I have talked this over with the moderators, and we have called these new measures the "Back to basics" measures. The general idea is that, the forum was created for pilgrims to help pilgrims. Less of other types of content, and more of just getting some good advice on how to prepare and walk the Camino.
Here are the new measures:
All the best from Santiago,
Ivar
First of all, thank you for hanging around the forum during the last year. It has been difficult, but we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now I think.
I have been thinking about making some slight changes to the forum rules and the way we do things on the forum, so this is the reason for this thread. I have talked this over with the moderators, and we have called these new measures the "Back to basics" measures. The general idea is that, the forum was created for pilgrims to help pilgrims. Less of other types of content, and more of just getting some good advice on how to prepare and walk the Camino.
Here are the new measures:
- Over the last year, we have allowed a lot of COVID topics since they have been relevant as pilgrims plan their walk in 2021 or 2022. As time goes on, and COVID becomes less of a factor, we will only allow COVID topics if they are relevant to the Camino. In the meantime, please keep all COVID discussion in the "COVID & the Camino" section.
- Members are allowed to include a simple link to their blog, social media account or commercial website in their forum signature.
- YouTube videos, Podcasts and other similar links focusing on external content related to the Camino need to be posted in a new section that I have created here. All users can post in this section, but it will have limited visibility since we are trying to focus on our goal, "Pilgrims helping pilgrims". If you are discussing something in another thread, and your video is truly relevant to the topic discussed in the thread, you can embed a link to your thread that is in the "Videos, Podcasts, and Other" section. (However, remember that "bumping" is not allowed.)
All the best from Santiago,
Ivar
