Community guidelines

Tikers is about getting out and seeing Lebanon for real. These guidelines keep it fun, fair and safe for every explorer. They're part of our Terms of use. They are written in English, Arabic and French. If the versions ever differ, the English version prevails.

Be a good guest

The places in Tikers are someone's village, someone's church, someone's beach.

• Be kind to the people who live and work there.
• Leave every place as you found it, or cleaner. Take your rubbish with you.
• Keep the noise down, especially at sunrise and in villages.
• Dress and behave respectfully at religious and historic sites.
• Be kind to other explorers too, in the feed and in person.

Respect sites and people

• Follow the rules of each place: signs, opening hours, fences and site staff.
• Don't trespass. If it's private or closed, the quest isn't worth it.
• Never photograph military or restricted areas. It's prohibited in Lebanon, and our quests never send you there.
• Ask before you photograph people, and don't post photos of people who didn't agree, especially children.
• Don't damage anything: no climbing on ruins, no graffiti, no picking or taking things.
• Stay safe. No shot is worth a risk: keep away from cliff edges, rough sea, roads, ice and the dark. Never use the app while driving. A time window is a game rule, not a reason to rush.

No staged photos

A proof shows a moment you really lived, at the real place, at the real time.

• Be there for real. No fake locations, emulators, tampered apps or tricks. A faked location is rejected automatically.
• Your own shot only. Don't post someone else's photo, a screen, or a picture of a picture.
• Take the real thing. The quest is the place and the moment, so photograph what's actually there.

Cheating can get your proofs taken back, take you off the leaderboards, or get your account suspended.

Keep it friendly

These aren't allowed anywhere in Tikers, including your name, bio and profile photo:

• hate, harassment, threats or bullying
• nudity or sexual content
• violence, or content that encourages danger
• content that attacks any religion, community or group
• spam, ads or selling things
• sharing someone's private details, such as their phone number or where they live

Reporting and blocking

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, report it from the app. You can report a post, a quest or an explorer, and choose a reason: not taken there, staged or fake, inappropriate, privacy, spam, or other. The person you report never learns it was you.

Our team aims to look at every report within 24 hours. A post reported by 3 or more different explorers is hidden until we check it. We can hide a post, reject a proof, remove a profile photo, take someone off the leaderboards, or suspend an account.

You can also block any explorer: you'll stop seeing each other's posts and passports.
