Acceptable use

Last updated 28 October 2026

The rules for what goes into a show listing, a profile or a message. They exist so a collector can trust a listing and a vendor can trust an organiser.

Draft

This page is a draft and has not yet been reviewed. Details marked “to be confirmed” will be filled in before showme. opens to the public.

Shows must be real

Only list a show you are running or are authorised to list.
The date, venue, prices and table numbers must be accurate, and kept accurate.
One listing per show. Do not duplicate a show to appear twice.
Do not list a show at a venue you have not booked.

Profiles must be honest

Do not pretend to be another person, vendor or organiser.
Describe what you actually sell. Do not advertise counterfeit or stolen goods.
Links must go where they say they go.

Messages are for the show

Use messages to talk about a show, an application or a table.
No harassment, threats, hate speech or sexual content.
No spam, and no unsolicited advertising of unrelated things.
Do not ask for, or share, anyone’s personal details beyond what the show needs.

Do not harm the service

No scraping, automated account creation or attempts to get round access controls.
No uploading of malware, or of images you do not have the right to use.
Nothing illegal under UK law.

Reporting and what happens next

Every show, vendor, organiser and conversation has a Report option. Reports go to our team, who can remove content, correct a listing, or suspend an account. We do not tell the person reported who reported them, unless the law requires us to.

At a show, everyone with an account also follows the code of conduct, which is part of this policy.
