The guide

We Keep Comporta is an editorial events guide. We publish listings from public sources, organisers, and members managing verified places, with community review or admin supervision according to origin. We do not sell tickets, process payments, or act as a party to any transaction — ticket links always go to the seller.

This manual explains how to submit, review, and correct information. It does not replace the terms, privacy notice, or formal listing-report route.

For everyone

How an event reaches the guide

1. The public form and ingested sources enter the queue.
2. Two independent members, or one admin, may decide.
3. A member may publish directly only for a verified place they manage.
4. Legal checks must always be clear; the admin receives every state change.

Normal community quorum is 2; an admin decision does not need that quorum.

Languages

The site and this manual are available in Portuguese and English. The public submission form remains in Portuguese, so its field labels appear here exactly as they do on screen.

What the fields mean

• Title, start date, and start time identify the event; required fields carry an asterisk.
• For one continuous multi-day event, use a session with different start and end dates. For separate sessions or performances, add one session per date.
• Place can be an existing location or “To be announced”. Do not guess an address.
• Use an exact price only when a source or ticket states it.
• Promoter and age rating can be completed by the team, but must exist before publication.

After submitting

You receive a reference. The event remains queued until it has two confirmations, one when it starts within 48 hours, or an admin decision. We email when a decision needs your attention.

Rejection reasons and appeal

The decision identifies the reason. If you disagree, reply to the email or use the appeal route; the team will review the facts again.

B · Publish, review and manage

Add an event to your place

1. In the member console, open “My events” and choose “Create event”. The selector lists the verified places you manage.
2. Complete the PT and EN titles, dates, category, promoter, age rating, entry, and licence declaration. Descriptions are optional, but PT and EN must be supplied together.
3. If every check passes, the event publishes immediately and you receive its link. The admin is notified.
4. If a mandatory authorization is missing, the event is held for review and the page shows the blocks. The admin may publish after clearing them or reject with a reason.

• Event repeated on several days: use “Add another date” and create one session for each date.
• Continuous event running past midnight or lasting several days: enter the end day and time in the same session.
• All sessions remain together on one event page; do not create a separate event for each day.

Each event accepts up to 20 sessions.

Daily limit: 10 member events.

B · Publish, review and manage

Manage your events

• “Existing events” gathers entries created by your account, including published, in review, cancelled, and closed events.
• Use “Edit” to change titles, descriptions, dates, tickets, category, promoter, age rating, or entry.
• “Cancel event” cancels every session without deleting the record. “Restore event” brings them back.
• Every change rechecks that the place remains verified and linked to your account; the admin receives an action record.

Admin: verify places

1. Open the Admin dashboard and find the place by name or with the “Unverified” filter.
2. Use “Verify place” directly on the card. The change is recorded with the admin, previous value, and time.
3. If needed, “Remove verification” reverses the state. A member can publish directly only while the place is verified.

B · Publish, review and manage

Review an event

• Confirm only what you can verify from the source, the place, or direct knowledge.
• Approve records a confirmation; reject requires a reason and never removes an event by itself.
• A daily limit protects the queue from bulk decisions.

Daily limit: 20 reviews.

Conflicts and recusals

You cannot vote on a public entry you submitted, a place you manage, or a place you are affiliated with. Events you publish directly for your place do not count as community votes and remain subject to admin supervision.

When the vote records but does not publish

Your vote can complete quorum while publication remains on hold. The vote did not fail: the team needs to resolve one of these checks.

Claim and edit places

• Claim only places you represent; the team approves the relationship.
• After approval, ordinary edits apply directly.
• Address notes and wording that may imply a private beach remain queued for the team.

Per day: up to 5 claims and 3 new places.

Place photographs

Upload an accurate photograph of the place in JPEG, PNG, or WebP. The main photograph appears on the map and place pages; confirm that you have permission to use it.
