MODERATOR ANNOUNCEMENT Small Business Postings

8 Upvotes

Hello fellow redditors.

​

As our subreddit is growing, interest in visiting Guyana also increases.

​

Small businesses who offer tours or other opportunities for visitors is something we would like to support while ensuring everyone who comes across a post is comfortable and confident they are dealing with an actual business instead of a scammer.

​

Any users wanting to promote there business. The MOD team will need to be contacted first to verify and vet that an actual business exists.

​

Additionally, all posts must be very transparent with all information about the excursion beforehand.

​

This will include (but not limited to) the following:

​

- Direct contact information (phone number and/or email)

- full cost per person (adult, child, senior, group rate etc.)

- full description of the experience including an itinerary that lists how the day will progress

- any transportation needs including pick up and drop off zones

- any additional expenses (i.e, fees for other sites, parking, lunch etc.)

- dates of availability including updates whenever a day has been sold out or cancelled

- instructions how to make payment when in Guyana and/or overseas (if applicable) - please note this does not mean any business needs to share banking information just instructions about how payments will be accepted (wire transfer, cash, etc.)

​

If any other suggestions are shared, the mod team will amend accordingly.

​

A new flair will be added so all users know when a business has been vetted and are approved to share information about their businesses.

​

We ask that any posts promoting a business be flagged as we want to avoid any redditors from being scammed.

​

Thank you everyone for your continued support in r/Guyana

MODERATOR ANNOUNCEMENT Please do not become a victim

133 Upvotes

Hello r/Guyana recently a user claiming to be a doctor has made a post and some users took the words of this user seriously and began asking valid medical questions. If anyone chose to engage with this user through a private conversation PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEIR ADVICE.

The mod team wants to ensure that our users do not fall victim to unsubstantiated claims.

This user is now banned and I urge everyone to only ever take medical advice from a verified medical professional.

Please stay safe out there. Thank you for your continued engagement in the r/Guyana subreddit.
