Stop rule before AI publishes or replies

STOP PUBLISHING: do not let AI, a chatbot, a public FAQ, an event-page rewrite, or a support macro invent cancellation status, refund eligibility, waitlist order, venue safety details, attendee substitutions, recording access, certification/credit eligibility, capacity, new dates, or organizer promises unless the canonical event record and owner-approved policy support that exact claim. Route legal, accessibility, payment, refund, emergency, certification, sponsorship, and sensitive attendee cases to a human owner.

1) Status update without inventing promises

We are updating the event record from the confirmed organizer source. The current status is: {confirmed_status}. Please use the official event page for the latest date, access, and registration details.

2) Waitlist boundary

Your request has been received for waitlist review. We cannot confirm a seat, order, or timing until the registration source is updated by the organizer.

3) Refund or credit boundary

Refund, credit, transfer, or cancellation questions must match the current event policy and payment record. We will route this for review instead of guessing in this reply.

4) Recording/materials access boundary

Recording, replay, certificate, slide, or bonus-material access is only available when the event source record says it is included for this attendee type. We will confirm before sending access instructions.

AI audit prompt

You are reviewing an event page, cancellation notice, waitlist reply, support macro, social caption, or AI-search answer. Use only the event source card below. Do not invent status, dates, capacity, waitlist order, refunds, credits, recording access, certification, venue safety, emergency details, accessibility outcomes, or organizer promises. Return: 1) missing facts, 2) risky claims to remove, 3) safe attendee wording, 4) pages/social snippets to update, and 5) STOP PUBLISHING items.

Weekly source-control questions

Do the event page, ticketing page, calendar invite, social posts, emails, and FAQ all show the same status and time zone?
Which AI-generated snippets or support macros still imply registration is open, access is guaranteed, or refunds are automatic?
Which past-event pages need noindex, archival wording, or clearer links to the current event source?

Product signal: if event cancellation, waitlist, and source-control traffic repeats, add a SEO After AI appendix for event/course creators covering cancellation status, waitlists, attendee access, refund windows, and stale event-page cleanup.
