Quite simply, a wack is your experience. Your wacks–and the wacks of all our users-are the core of the Wacktrap site. Your wack can be as brief or as detailed as you want to make it. Remember: the more detailed your wack is, the more keywords it'll contain, to increase your odds of being seen. Optionally include everything related to your experience, like photos, video clips, the related url web address, even pdf documents.
 
So if you've got 'em, flaunt 'em: attach all four types to make your wack even more seen! It’s easy to add a wack now: we'll give you a place for everything you need, including specific spots for the stuff to make your great wack even better, like that unbelievable pic or video clip.
 
You'll need a caption for that wack. A great Title means members will find your wack quickly and easily. It's mighty important, so we'll show you how to create a fantastic wack Title.

A wack Rating is represented by that row of mallets you see alongside every wack experience. It’s one of the most important parts of the Wacktrap site. That Rating, simply, is how highly members view a wack. When members think a wack is great you'll know: the best wacks have a 5-mallet rating, and the best of the best make it to Wacktrap front page glory. Just as surely as you'll be wantin' to read a wack, you'll be wantin' to rate it. Because you define which wacks make it to the front page-for the world to see.

A wack Comment represents how you’re feelin’, and exactly what you’re thinkin’, about a wack. Any wack. At the base of every posted wack, you’ll see a handy box. That box speaks volumes.
 
Think of it as your personal soapbox. The spot to speak your mind. If you’ve got something to say, this is the place to do it-plus it's a whole lot safer than shouting from rooftops.

Wacktrap Maps put things in perspective. You'll be selecting from two map types, from the top navigation bar. The default Wack Maps displays location of wacks, while Member Wacks tells you where Wacktrap members are located throughout the world.
 
They may sound similar, but these two maps display very different stuff. Each is constantly updated so you're gettin' the most current stats. When creating a wack, members have the option to physical location, or address, for any wack. As those addresses are entered, that info is plugged into Wack Maps.
 
A member may be located in one spot, but that wack may occur across the nation-or even across the globe. Member Wacks shows where Wacktrap members are located. It provides a lay of the land, showin' where members like you are clustered.
 
Wack Maps shows you where wacks are happenin'. When you wanna get specific, Wack Maps will take you to those hot spots. Check out Wack Maps now, to find out where those wacks are hoppin'.
