Guidelines
ROAMCORD works best when travel logs are honest, useful, and safe.
You do not need perfect memory or exhaustive detail.
Start with what you know. Add as much detail as you want.
Start with what you remember
A travel log can begin with just the places you remember — or, for a Plan, the places you are considering.
If you know the order, timing, reasons, costs, waits, or other details, add them. If you do not, leave them out.
Do not guess simply to make a log look complete.
A short, truthful record is better than a detailed one filled with invented precision.
Add the context a map cannot show
When you have it, useful context might include why you chose a place, what was convenient from where you stayed, how long something really took, what you would tell a friend, or what you would do differently.
That context can make a log more useful.
It is not a requirement for the log to be legitimate.
Leave in what changed
Real travel does not always follow the plan.
If something was skipped, changed, replaced, discovered spontaneously, or abandoned because everyone was tired, leave that reality in the log when you know it.
The imperfect parts are often the parts another traveler cannot learn from a map.
An Actual Trip means you went
Mark a log as an Actual Trip only when it represents travel you genuinely took or directly participated in.
You do not need exact dates or perfect memory. If you provide dates or other details, make them as accurate as you reasonably can.
Do not invent firsthand experience or present a Plan you never took as something that actually happened.
If you want to start from somebody else’s public trip, use Use This Trip. It creates your own editable draft Plan from reusable parts of that trip without copying the other person’s photos, personal notes, private places, or trip-specific outcomes.
Different perspectives are useful
You do not need to be a local.
A resident may know a place through years of experience. A first-time visitor may have researched carefully and notice practical details a resident rarely thinks about.
Write what you genuinely know. ROAMCORD treats whether you were visiting or living there as context, not as a ranking of whose experience matters more.
Respect other people’s privacy
Do not post another person’s home address, phone number, or other private information without permission.
Do not publish identifiable photos of other people without their permission.
If a place in your log is a home or private address — yours or somebody else’s — mark it private when you add it. ROAMCORD will hide the exact location and address while keeping the trip understandable.
Keep the experience genuine and the content yours
Use your own words, your own photos, or material you have permission to publish.
Do not copy somebody else’s writing or photos, impersonate another person, or fabricate a trip.
Writing tools, including AI tools, may help you organize or polish information you actually provide. They must not invent where you went, what happened, or other firsthand experience and present it as real.
No spam, scams, or disguised promotion
Mentioning a business you genuinely visited or are genuinely considering is normal travel content.
Advertising disguised as a travel log is not.
Do not use ROAMCORD for affiliate marketing, spam, scams, manipulative promotion, automated bulk content, or attempts to buy or manipulate visibility.
ROAMCORD does not sell search ranking or paid placement.
Keep it safe
Do not use ROAMCORD for harassment, threats, doxxing, impersonation, illegal material, malicious links or files, security abuse, or anything intended to harm another person or the service.
Reporting and enforcement
Every published travel log has a report link, and you do not need an account to use it.
A report that says a log exposes private information takes the log out of public view immediately while it is reviewed. Other reports enter a queue for human review without automatically removing the log.
ROAMCORD may hide or remove content or restrict, suspend, or close accounts when reasonably necessary to enforce these Guidelines and the Terms or to protect people and the service.
