Moto-Crete.gr - Riding motorcycle in Crete

Moto-Crete.gr is an open platform dedicated to promoting motorcycle touring in Crete, while also welcoming information for general travel across the island. Here, users can freely share their experiences, publish informational materials (like route maps or accommodation reviews), and leverage the collective knowledge of the community to plan their motorcycle adventures or any Cretan explorations.

All content on Moto-Crete.gr, including descriptions, maps, photos, videos, and comments, belongs to its creators/members. Reproducing any part of this content requires the author's permission. Republishing content without permission and proper attribution is strictly prohibited.

Moto-Crete.gr does not allow content solely intended for:

• Advertising commercial products or services (in subjects, messages, usernames, signatures, etc.)
• Creating promotional links to other websites.

Constructive criticism of travel professionals and other topics is encouraged, as long as it remains respectful. Malicious, defamatory, or disparaging comments are strictly prohibited. Members who encounter genuine issues can report them directly to the relevant authorities.

Writing Texts

Capitals are prohibited, both in the title of the message and in its content. When you want to emphasize something, use bold characters. Aside from being tiring for the reader, writing in all caps in the internet space generally signifies "shouting," so the pointless and continuous use of them can cause misunderstandings.

If you copy any part of text from another website or any other printed or non-printed source, do not copy the entire article. Instead, include only the first few sentences and provide a link to the original source for the rest. You must also mention the source of the text at the end, and you must have the permission of the original medium before taking any text. Posting photos without the photographer's permission is also strictly prohibited.

Freedom of Expression and Content Moderation

Moto-Crete.gr encourages open discussions, valuing diverse viewpoints. However, to maintain a positive environment, abusive language and personal attacks between members are strictly prohibited. Any messages exceeding these boundaries will be removed without warning.

If a member believes that any message violates these guidelines, they should report it to the management team using the "Report" button found on each message. Publicly accusing messages of being "offensive" or questioning why a message was deleted is discouraged.

For any inquiries regarding message or member deletion, or actions taken by the management team, please send a private message instead of posting publicly on the forum.
