Community Guidelines

Be respectful in corrections, trip comments, and contact messages. Moderators may reject submissions that put people at risk or violate landowner privacy.

Public trip sharing is about experience and documentation — not revealing mine locations. Do not post coordinates, map links, driving directions, or other precise location identifiers in public trip stories or captions.

Report location disclosure, harassment, spam, copyright issues, or unsafe trespass encouragement using the contact/report options.

Do not encourage illegal entry, bypassing gates, or unsafe underground practices.

Mine verifications and flags

Verifications must reflect honest first-hand observations or clearly identified documentary sources. Do not mark a physical visit if you only saw a map or online listing.

Flags should be submitted in good faith when a catalog record appears not to be an underground mine or contains incorrect information. False or malicious repeated reports may be moderated.

Genuine disagreement is welcome — moderators resolve conflicts using source evidence, field reports, and provenance.
