On my way back to North America from Europe, wishing the plane could make a quick pit stop and drop me off… 1st pic: KEF airport and southwestern Reyknanes peninsula; 2nd pic: the Sundhnúkagígar lava flows of the last few years encroaching on the Blue Lagoon and Grindavík; 3rd pic: the Fagradalsfjall lava field from the 2021 eruptions.
Bom dia!
I appreciate the recent feedback about the need for some tighter moderation on this sub. Since I created it in 2023, both the sub and my life have gotten a lot busier, making it difficult to keep up with everything and be more proactive with my moderation.
So, I need some help! I'm looking to add one or two moderators to keep an eye on things and moderate posts and comments as they are reported. Previous experience moderating a subreddit or other online forum is a bonus but not required. The only requirement is that you not have any personal ties or financial interest in the tourism industry in Portugal, so as to avoid any conflicts of interest. If you're interested, please DM me and I will follow up.
Also, I have updated the subreddit rules, with some new language for existing rules and a few new rules added. Please review the new rules below. If you have any questions or comments about the new rules, please share them below. Obrigado!
Disrespect and personal attacks will not be tolerated. If you don’t have anything constructive to add, feel free to keep scrolling. Name-calling, mean-spirited snark and the like will be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned.
Before posting, search the sub to see if your question has been answered before, and please be as specific as possible. Asking questions that are frequently asked and answered or overly broad/vague may result in your post being removed.
This sub is to help you answer specific questions after you've done some research, not to plan your trip from scratch or answer questions you could have easily Googled. Low effort posts, including copying and pasting an AI-generated itinerary, will be removed.
This sub is primarily for tourists visiting Portugal and locals who want to help them have a great trip. For questions about living in or moving to Portugal, post on r/portugal instead. For general travel questions that aren’t specific to Portugal, try r/travel. Posts that are outside the scope of this sub may be removed.
Posts that seem to benefit your own self-interest more than the community may be removed. Occasional self-promotion by local vendors who are active on the sub is okay within reason; using this sub as a one-way marketing tool is not. When in doubt, check with the mod team before posting. Repeat offenders will be banned.
If you're sharing photos, put them directly in your post. If you are linking to a video or blog, include content in your post that will be useful to the sub without requiring people to click a link. External links and crossposts with little to no context will be considered spam and removed. If you are posting someone else’s photos or content, you must credit them in the title or prominently in the post; failing to do so will result in the post being removed.
Please do not share or ask people to share "hidden gems" and the like. Such places are usually "hidden" for a good reason and can often be found by doing a bit of legwork on your own.
