Calendar/Event posting guidelines and policies

*Tentative, please contribute*

The London Commons Event Calendar strives to strengthen the community by promoting community oriented events.

The Calendar is open to (but not limited to) postings promoting "not-for-profit" events that open to the public, organising meetings, community and municipal meetings and consultations, rallies and protests, etc. Posts promoting events charging admission are welcome if they are non-corporate in nature. (i.e. concerts by independent artists or at an independent venue, lectures, indy and documentary film screenings, fundraisers, etc...).

Events of a corperate nature, be they for-profit or not-for-profit, and prank post will likely be removed by moderators.

Consensus discussions and decisions relevant to this policy:

Calender versus blogs - Different definitions of content
i)Calender - priority for protection "For-profit Corporate" - definition of what will not be allowed to be addvertised on the calender. Further refinements pending.

No policy of deleting fake events is in place.
Consensus on adding “open to the public and factual” to the definition of events acceptable on the calendar (in addition to “non-corporate and not-for-profit”)

Do not post advertisements. The only exception is for the events calendar, in which case you can advertise an event that costs money ONLY if it is not run by a corporation.
