What we'll put on the list
These are the rules a reviewer checks against. They're short on purpose — if your listing follows them it goes up.
What goes up
Real events, at a real time and place, open to people outside your immediate friend group. Meetups, classes, parties, conventions, markets, game nights, coffee mornings — one-offs and regulars both.
Images
Suits, gear worn as clothing, venue shots, crowds, posters, artwork, logos. Anything you'd be happy to have on a poster in a bar window.
Nudity, sex acts, explicit art, or anything that needs a content warning to sit on a public page. The listing is public even when the event isn't.
Age labels
Every event carries one, and it has to be honest. A bar venue is 21+ whether or not anyone's drinking. If the event has adult content, it's 18+ at minimum and the listing says why in plain words.
Labels filter the calendar. They never hide a listing from anyone.
Venues & safety
- The venue has agreed to host it. Don't list someone else's bar as your venue without asking them.
- Say who's running it and how to reach them. Anonymous listings don't go up.
- If your event has its own rules — consent policy, photo policy, dress code — put them in the listing.
What gets removed
Anything targeting minors. Harassment, hate, or exclusion by race, gender, or orientation. Commercial spam dressed as a community event. Listings for events that never existed. We remove first and explain after.
Think we got it wrong?
Fix what the note asks for and resubmit from My events — it goes straight back into the queue and gets read again. We'd rather have the argument than quietly lose an event that should have been listed.
