Why was my event flagged?

When you create an event on your organizer platform, the details you enter in step 1 are checked automatically before you move on. Most events pass and you'll never see a thing.

What the check looks for

Payment processors set strict rules on what can be sold through a platform. Those rules apply to us, so they apply to you.

Artistic nudity and expressive visuals are welcome.

Here's what we can't publish or host:

• Explicit sexual acts or pornographic content
• Close-up or graphic images of genitals meant for sexual arousal
• Anything where the ticket buys a sexual service: escorting, prostitution, sex work arranged through the listing, or paid sexual access of any kind
• Content involving minors, or anything sexualizing someone under 18
• Illegal activity or substances, including drug sales and paraphernalia
• Weapons, counterfeit goods, or stolen property
• Raffles, lotteries, or games of chance where money changes hands
• Hate, harassment, or content that targets a person or group

A ticket buys entry to an event. It doesn't buy sexual access to anyone.

Two kinds of flag

Yellow, borderline. Something reads as close to the line. Your event still publishes and goes live normally. A team member reviews it afterward, and we'll contact you if anything actually needs to change.

Red, blocked. Something crosses the line. You can carry on through the rest of the steps, but when you publish, the event stays hidden until a person reviews it, usually within a few hours.

Either way, the warning appears right there in step 1 and names which part triggered it, the poster or the description, so you're not guessing.

Getting a red/yellow flag cleared

Edit the flagged part and the event goes live immediately, no waiting on us. That's almost always faster than review.

If you'd rather keep what you wrote, leave it and wait. A person will look, and plenty of events that trip an automated check are completely fine.

What our team can do

On review, we may hide just the part that's a problem rather than the whole event: a poster, a line in the description, or a headline. The rest stays live and keeps selling.

We'd rather remove one image than take down a room you spent months filling. If we unpublish something, we'll tell you what and why.

If you think we got it wrong

Reply to the message we send, or email moderation@gaytherings.com with your event name. A person will look again.
