The GoKunming Forums exist so that GoKunming users can freely exchange information and discuss topics that are of sustained relevance to the community. Keeping this in mind, both the Forums and Classifieds sections are the territory of individuals, not businesses. The exception to this rule is when businesses post classified ads offering employment.
Users who would like to share information published elsewhere online should include a hyperlink instead of copying text verbatim.
Forum threads that veer wildly off topic, devolve into attacks on individuals or groups of people or use abusive language will be removed at the Moderator's discretion. Please remain respectful at all times.
If you have concerns about a post or poster and suspect spam or trolling, please contact GoKunming through the contact forum. Please do not engage with the spammer or troll, as this only amplifies their visibility in the threads and creates a negative environment. It is not constructive to the conversation and will therefor be treated as a personal attack.
Posters who spam, troll or engage with trolls will either receive a warning or will be banned (temporarily or permanently), in order to keep the conversation civil and useful for all users of the forum.
Posts that include any form of hate speech will be deleted. Racism, sexism and any other form of bigotry have no place on this forum. Posters who post offensive content will receive warnings, and repeat offenders will be banned.
Keep things civil and refrain from personal attacks.
GoKunming reserves the right to delete any post or ban any user that we deem inappropriate for any reason.
By posting or commenting users agree to the above guidelines as well as GoKunming Terms of Service. GoKunming reserves the right to ban users who repeatedly violate any of these terms or conditions.
For announcing events, finding housing, job hunting, buying and selling, language exchange, and personals, please use the GoKunming Classifieds section. Do not use the forums to post advertisements for goods or services. If you have a service to offer, consider becoming a GoKunming advertiser. Forum posts by companies for the purpose of promotion will be deleted. Any hyperlinks leading to advertisements will also be deleted immediately.
GoKunming reviews all ads before they appear on the site. Classifieds will usually be accepted or rejected in less than one business day.
Refrain from using all capital letters when posting. It is very annoying to most people. Posts written in all caps will be deleted.
Post your ad only one time and refrain from 'spamming' the site with multiple classified posts that can be combined into a single entry.
Classifieds are displayed under your GoKunming nickname and responses are sent to your GoKunming login email address. Therefore you should not disclose any further contact information publicly. Because of this, we highly recommend people omit their email addresses and phone numbers to avoid having such information collected by bots.
The Classifieds are a platform for individual users only. Companies wishing to advertise on GoKunming should get in touch via the contact form. The notable exception to this rule is when businesses wish to post an ad offering employment.
GoKunming reserves the right to determine which classified ads we allow on the site. Offensive or intentionally lewd content will not be accepted.
Any hyperlinks leading to advertisements will be deleted immediately.
The Comment section included at the end of all GoKunming articles exist so our users can freely exchange information and discuss topics relevant to the article itself.
Discussions that veer wildly off topic, devolve into attacks on individuals or groups of people or use abusive language will be locked or removed at the Moderator's discretion.
Please remain respectful at all times. See ‘Forum Guidelines’ above for guidelines concerning spam and trolling.
Refrain from using all capital letters when posting. Most people consider this very annoying. Posts written in all caps will be deleted.
Any hyperlinks leading to advertisements will be deleted immediately.
The Review section attached to all GoKunming Listings exists as a place for individual users to express their opinions regarding the quality and/or service at a given business, venue or organization.
Ideally the Review sections are not a place to ask for information or begin a discussion.
If a GoKunming user has an existing review of a venue and posts a new review, the old one will be replaced, as will the star rating. This is to prevent one person from posting multiple reviews and from the Reviews section turning into a discussion board. Reviews older than nine months are not used to calculate a venue's star rating.
Consider your review carefully. If you are taking the time to post something, don’t forget to choose a star rating between one and five.
Reviews deemed to be intentionally destructive to a business' reputation, or those obviously written as self-promotion by the venue itself, will be removed. Reviews must contain both a star rating and a supporting text. As with any user generated content on GoKunming, posts deemed inappropriate may be removed at the Moderator's descretion.
