Events
What criteria is needed to list an event?
An event listed in our events section needs to:
- Occur at a specific date and time (e.g. Jan 1st from 5pm-7pm)
- Happen at a particular location (in-person, virtual, or both)
- Be open to more than just a couple of people at a time
If an event does not have all of the above, it's most likely not an event and the event section is probably not the best place to post it.
Why did my event get removed?
Examples of not an event include but are not limited to:
Not at a Specific Date/Time
- All week event looking for people for something
- By appointment only within the scheduled time frame
Personal Ad
- Looking for two people for a threesome
- Looking for a third to join us
- Looking for one person to hook up with
- Looking for someone to attend an event with
- Offering free massages
Business Ad
- Advertisements for one on one paid-for sessions
- Advertisement promoting online services
- Event created to solicit followers of a group on or off-site
- Professional photo/modeling shoots
- Offering pay massages, professional or not
- Casting call for porn shoot (e.g. auditions)
- Looking for talent (e.g. people who want to be cam models)
Other
- Event created to get people to join an off-site group
- Test events
Only One Event Listing per Event & No Recycling of Event Listings
We only allow one event listing per unique event. Recurring events (ex. monthly munches, yearly conferences, etc.) need to have a separate listing per event.
If more than one listing is created for a specific event, we remove all but one listing.
If an event listing is recycled by moving forward the date/time of the event listing, the event will be removed without notice.
If an event organizer, organization, etc. continues to create multiple listings for the same event, or recycle previous event listings, they risk the following:
- Having all of their event listings removed
- Losing the ability to promote any future events on FetLife
