I actually have to disagree with your first point. Posting a few teaser pictures and saying in essence "stay tuned while I actually write the report" is to me the same exact thing as advertising a future report. Please, don't do it!
Why is it so important amongst some of our report writers or photographers that we all become aware of their activities NOW when their trip or report
hasn't even started? Why can't they wait for a week or two in order to present us with a decent effort?
Is the gratification received in the form of positive comments from our readers THAT important to them that they need to start getting it as soon as possible?
Before they've even earned it?
