Other Pinboard Features of Campsite Chatter

Campsitechatter lets you create pinboards to share your holiday experiences with friends.

People use pinboards on CampsiteChatter to plan their next holiday, show their favourite places they have been and show great walks through the UK. You can browse boards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your camping interests.

A channel is a group of pinboards that are similar or relate to each other in some way. A number of campsites have created channels. If you create a pinboard that you believe should be added to a channel then please send us a message to [email protected] and we will request it to be added by the channel owner. Alternatively, most channel pinboards are community pinboards so you can just repin or add your photos on to those boards.

Private Pinboard

On these types of pinboards only you can pin new photos. You can choose whether everyone on CampsiteChatter can see your pinboard or just your friends.

Community Pinboard

If you have a subject that you want everyone on CampsiteChatter to contribute to then this is the type of pinboard to choose. Once created, anyone can pin photos to this board. An example is "Funny Camping Photos".

Below are comments received from users on CampsiteChatter. We want CampsiteChatter to be a fun, safe and positive place to visit and the guidelines below are help us achieve this:

This is a forum but with a twist. Here are the main points:

The forum is based on earning Reputation When you ask a question, you own that question and then when peers answer it you can accept the best answer (in your opinion). This will give the member who put the effort in to give a good answer more reputation. It will also let other people browsing the site a quick way to see the best answer.

Peers can vote on questions and answers that you submit. If you ask a good question or give a good answer other members will vote that contribution up. You will be awarded reputation for each vote you get. You will then begin to build credibility within the Chatter Forum.

If you see a good question or answer then vote it up. This will give reputation to the member who put in the effort to submit a good question or answer. Alternatively, if you see a bad question or answer then vote it down. This will help other members to see at a glance which answers are good/bad.

As you carry out certain tasks you will also be awarded badges. These will again help build your credibility within the Chatter Forum. Please see above for an explanation on badges.
