Community Guidelines — 100 Million Beers

Version 0.3 · Effective: August 8, 2026

In plain words: photograph the beer. Not people, not anything else. One real beer at a time, freshly poured, honestly counted. Your photo goes to your Team with your name on it, and anonymously — no name, no team, no profile — into the feed for the city it was counted in, where any user can see it. So shoot it like a stranger will. Break the rules and your photo comes down; keep breaking them and you're out. You can appeal once — a human decides.

These Guidelines are part of the Terms of Service. They exist so the world's count stays honest and so no one's photo ever causes harm.

The rules of the ledger

1. Photograph the beer, not the people. The registry counts beers, not faces. Do not post photos with identifiable people in them unless every one of them has agreed to appear — and when in doubt, frame the glass, not the table. Your own face is also best left out: this is a count, not a portrait gallery. Remember where a photo goes: your Team sees it with your name, and anyone who opens your city's feed sees it without your name. Both are reasons to keep faces, documents, screens, addresses, and anything else you would not hand to a stranger out of the frame.
2. Never anyone under drinking age. No person who appears under legal drinking age may appear in any photo, ever, in any context. This is the one rule with no appeal.
3. One real beer, freshly yours. Live photos of the beer in front of you. No photos of screens, old photos, other people's beers, stock images, or creative interpretations of the word "beer." The registry's AI has seen your laptop before and was not fooled.
4. Nothing but beers. No nudity, violence, hate symbols, illegal activity, advertising, or anything that isn't a beer being counted. The Service has exactly one content type and it is beer.
5. Count honestly. There is a daily cap and a minimum gap between beers — respect them. No automation, no scripts, no counting for other people, no schemes to inflate a country's number. Fraudulent counts are removed from the world's total; the count is real because fakes leave it.
6. Respect the Team room. Cheers, not harassment. Teams are small rooms of people who know each other — keep them warm.

Enforcement (how it actually works)

• Every photo has a Report button — press and hold any photo, in a Team room or a city feed, to report it. Anyone who can see a photo can report it. Reported photos are hidden immediately, pending review, and reporting is anonymous to the reported user. Reporting a photo you simply dislike, to take it down, is itself a violation.
• Every photo is AI-screened to confirm it's a beer; confident rejections are hidden automatically with a notification to you.
• Humans decide. If your beer photo is hidden by the AI or by a report, you may appeal once ("THIS IS A BEER") from your passport; a human reviews and makes the final call. A photo hidden by many independent reports goes straight to the human desk, which confirms or restores it — if confirmed, the appeal path above is yours. Reported content in side counts and team counts goes directly to the human desk. Only a final removal touches the count.
• Strikes escalate: repeated violations lead to provisional counting (your beers verify before counting), then suspension, then a permanent ban. Severe violations (rule 2, illegal content) skip the ladder.
• Serious illegal content will be reported to authorities where required.
