I have been reading this forum for about 4 years and have enjoyed what I have learned. I have responded a few times but mostly used as a resource. First I would like to thank everyone who posts here for their infinite knowledge and assistance for us new-bees at long distance hiking.

I found out what warning points are but I did not find out what trophy points are. Please does anyone know??

Thanks and buen camino
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Maybe a free footjourney to Santiago when you reach 1000 trophy points .
I am wondering too
Buen camino
 
Trophy points here on the forum are awarded for levels of contribution.

You find out by entering your profile page. There is a label that says 'trophy points'. Beside it is a link represented by a number. The link leads to a pop up showing what trophy points were awarded. Typically they are given for the number of 'posts' you wrote and for 'likes' you received.

Q5: What are trophies?

This is a way to give recognition to the posters in the forum that posts useful and helpful information. Before we had something similar based on the number of posts each user had posted. We had "Veteran poster" and so on. Trophies is something similar, and it is set based on the number of posts you have made (as before), but also the number of likes your posts have attracted.
 


Thank you
 


Thanks for the details
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

So you found out what warning points are? what are they?

Short answer is the trophy points are "good points" (see explanation above). While Warning points are "bad points".

Warning points are described in our Forum Rules:

Point system: This forum has implemented a point system for those users that violate any of the rules below. Every member starts with 0 points, but for each infraction the user is given x number of warning points. Each point given is automatically removed 1 month later.

Users that accumulate the following number of active/non-expired points will see the following:
1-4 points - No action
5-9 points - All posts need to be approved by a moderator
10-19 points - Banned for 1 month
20-29 points - Banned for 3 months
30 and more points (does not expire) - Banned.

Thanks Ivar, I'd better read the forum rules so that I don't break any.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
