Yes, the Noticeboard is subject to the same content moderation as the rest of the platform. We use automated filters and human moderators to review content and behavior. If someone posts something offensive or tries to solicit work off-platform, it can be flagged and taken down. We want the board to remain helpful and friendly. Users can also report Noticeboard posts if they find them problematic, and we’ll review those reports. Keep in mind that because the Noticeboard is local and real-time, moderation is generally light-touch – we’re not censoring normal friendly posts. We mainly intervene if something clearly violates rules or someone reports an issue.
Who can post on the Noticeboard? Any user who is checked in at the location can post on that location’s Noticeboard. This includes both Travellers and Providers (after all, Providers are travellers too). Just remember: if you’re a Provider, you cannot use the Noticeboard to advertise your services for hire (doing so would be seen as trying to dodge the platform’s booking system and fees, which is against the rules). But you’re welcome to participate in community discussions or offer non-commercial help. For example, a Provider might post “I’m handy with solar panels if anyone’s struggling, happy to give quick advice for free.” That’s in the spirit of community. But saying “I can fix your solar for $X, call me” is not allowed on the board.
Do Noticeboard posts cost anything, and do they expire? It’s completely free to read and post on the Noticeboard. This feature is provided as a community benefit; there are no fees and no transactions involved within it. Posts are typically short-lived. They’re intended for travellers currently in the area. Once you leave the campground or the post becomes outdated, it will no longer be relevant. The app may automatically remove old posts after a certain period (for example, a post about a meetup tonight might disappear by the next day). This keeps the feed clean and focused on current, useful information.
