daGama Community Guidelines
To keep our app valuable and enjoyable for everyone, please follow these guidelines when writing recommendations and reviews.
How to Write Great Recommendations and Reviews
1. Recommend What You Truly Love
Do this
Focus on places you genuinely enjoy. Imagine you're recommending it to a close friend — what’s the one spot you'd take them to?
Don’t do this
Don’t post unrelated visuals like logos, storefront signs, printed ads, product labels, or memes. Keep the focus on your experience at the place.
2. Add High-Quality Photos
Do this
Include 3–20 clear, sharp, and engaging photos. Great visuals help others truly feel the vibe.
Don’t do this
Avoid uploading duplicate or nearly identical images. Don’t post blurry, low-resolution, poorly lit photos. Never use stock images or photos taken from the internet — respect copyright.
3. Share Your Personal Experience
Do this
Describe your own feelings and impressions. Be honest and sincere — your unique view is what makes daGama real.
Don’t do this
Don’t use content from public sources, even if you created it earlier. Avoid reposting opinions from others or writing reviews without firsthand experience.
4. Physically Check-In at the Location
Do this
To publish a review, you must be physically present at the location and perform a check-in. For example, if you're in Paris, you can't review a place in Tokyo. This ensures authenticity.
Don’t do this
Don’t fake your geolocation or enter inaccurate coordinates. It undermines trust in the platform and in you as a discoverer.
5. Use Clear Grammar and Structure
Do this
Make your text easy to read. Use proper grammar, short paragraphs, and simple formatting. Structure matters.
6. One Place = One Review
Do this
Each post should cover one specific place only.
Don’t do this
Don’t duplicate places already published by other users. Don’t try to merge several spots into one listing.
7. Be Detailed, But Concise
Do this
Share what really matters — atmosphere, service, vibe, etc. Keep it informative, but tight.
Don’t do this
Don’t overload your post with unnecessary text. Avoid long-winded storytelling that clouds the message.
8. Include Practical Details
Do this
Include specific and helpful details, like:
- opening hours,
- accessibility,
- how to book a table,
- how to get there,
- recommended dishes or items to try,
- suitable audience types (e.g., families, couples),
- unique features of the place.
9. Be Original, Avoid Copying
Do this
Use your own words and photos. Always.
Don’t do this
Don’t use AI-generated text or images. Don’t copy from websites or social media.Your personal opinion is the most valuable thing you have.
