Our Standard

Barbistry means quality — quality service, quality behavior, and quality community standards. These guidelines protect that promise.

  • Threats or explicit abusive behavior
  • Misleading promotions or scam offers
  • False certification claims
  • Spam content
  • Stolen media or content

Enforcement Framework

  • First warning
  • Content removal
  • Temporary account restriction
  • Permanent suspension
  • Loss of Barbistry certification

  • Withheld access to community/event privileges

On Penalties

Rather than arbitrary fines, we use a warning system, temporary suspension, permanent ban, removal of featured status, and — where legally permitted — withheld payouts for violations of event, vendor, or promotional agreements.
