Trailmix.Net is a resource for families who enjoy outdoor recreation. Our vision for Trailmix.Net is to create an online community that strengthens the family by providing outdoor recreation education and knowledge sharing. Because we are an open online community care must be taken when providing personal information. When using Trailmix.Net, please keep the following in mind:
- The Trailmix.Net forums are public spaces. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, or specific whereabouts). We recommend that parents do the posting in our community. If you are under 18 and using our services, avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you such as where you live, go to school, or hang out every day after school. This is a good practice any time you are using the internet.
- People aren't always who they say they are. If you are under 18, avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. Again, this applies to any online community or forum.
- Inappropriate content should be immediately reported. Trailmix.Net is “Rated G” and acceptable for all audiences. Posting objectionable content (as defined by the Trailmix.Net Terms of Use) will result in administrative action including profile deletion and IP address banning. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, use the “Report Abuse” button in the footer of each page to bring Trailmix.Net administrative attention to the content.. If you are under 18, you should always talk with a trusted adult.
