Community guidelines

Useful, respectful, and safe.

Revised October 20, 2026; effective when this version is published. These guidelines cover consumer profiles, sightings, scores, Feed and group posts/comments, reactions, photos, feedback, and other community contributions. Verified retailer inventory and announcements submitted through the Store Portal follow the retailer agreement and Stave review rules.

Share accurate, firsthand information

Submit information you reasonably believe is current and true. Do not post fabricated sightings, misleading prices, false store claims, or content designed to manipulate availability or demand.

Protect people’s privacy

Do not post faces, license plates, phone numbers, email addresses, account details, exact home locations, or other personal or sensitive information. Bottle and sighting photos should focus on the bottle, shelf, or store context—not people.

Respect access and the people in the community

Use groups according to their access setting. Do not try to bypass a private or request-to-join group’s membership rules, share other members’ content outside its intended audience, harass, threaten, impersonate, or target another collector.

Be respectful and lawful

Consumer community spaces cannot be used for hate, sexual or illegal content, scams, spam, commercial solicitation, payment requests, raffles, or promotion of alcohol sales or trades. Verified retailers may publish informational inventory and approved store announcements only through their authorized Store Portal access, subject to their agreement and applicable law. Stave does not handle sales, payments, or event entries. Do not upload content that infringes another person’s privacy, copyright, trademark, or other rights.

Moderation and reporting

Stave may review contributions before publication and may remove content or restrict accounts that violate these guidelines or the Terms of Use. Use the in-app reporting tools for a concern; for copyright concerns, see Copyright concerns.
