Policies

Before your event is published, we will review it to ensure it meets our Brand and Event Advertising Policies. You can see the status of your event in your member portal under My Community Events.

Most events are reviewed within 24 hours, although in some cases it may take longer.

Understanding Our Policies
Our Advertising Policies provide guidance on what types of ad content are allowed. When advertisers place an order, each ad is reviewed against these policies. If you think your ad was mistakenly disapproved, please let us know.

During the event review process, we’ll check your event’s images, text, targeting, and positioning, in addition to the content on your event’s landing page. Your event may not be approved if the landing page content isn’t fully functional, doesn’t match the product/service promoted in your event or doesn’t fully comply with our Advertising Policies.
If your event isn’t approved for not fully complying with our policies, you can edit it and resubmit for review. To edit your event:
  1. Check the email address associated with your account. If your event doesn’t get approved, we’ll send you an email with details that explain why.
  2. Using the information in your disapproval email, you can edit your event and create a compliant one.
  3. Save your edited changes. Once you save your changes, your ad will be resubmitted for review.
