1. Border report titles must follow the format: [Port Name] + [Date] + [Nationality], e.g., [Shanghai Pudong] 2026-04-15 [US Passport].
2. Reports must include: purpose of visit, intended duration, specific questions asked, and an overall time-cost rating (1–5 stars).
3. Airport photos are allowed, but blur other people's faces and passport info pages to protect privacy.
4. Do not post inflammatory or politically sensitive descriptions of border conflicts; stick to objective factual records.
