Re: Abuja Geo-Walk

Thanks Traci. The first thing is sure you and your team have devised and mapped out specifics of places to go.

 

Another important things is don't review these places; you can only review a place if you've had an experience of the place. For instance if you've tasted the burger of a particular restaurant then you can review during your Geo-walk.

 

The ethical thing to do during your Geo-Walk on places is to suggest edits; you can ask for their contact phone number and update it, you can also update their new addresss, official opening and osing hours etc.  

 

As a community moderator, I buy a full park of bottle water because it's cheaper when you're not buying in units. I share this water to my team in case of dehydration. With this singular gesture other team members will suggest to buy burger, fries, and before you know it it's a turns out to be a fun day.  

 

hope these tips helps.

Thanks Malea. I had lists of beautiful photos but anytime I tried upload I keep getting this error message and it's really frustrating. Thanks for your mail.

Re: Abuja Geo-Walk

I really like the idea of a "potluck" approach, where everyone brings or shares something. 

 

Regarding your issue with photos, you should be able to add them from your phone or on your computer. Are you getting an error message? The photos might be too big...?

 

Do you see the photo button to add a photo to your post?

@Piehti Nice community you've got. I just joined. Thank you. We'll keep in touch. But I can't speak Dutch or German. Maybe you'll teach some basics 👍
