How do you report a location-edit/change using the new review system?

If I were reviewing this nomination, I’d probably reject it, as I find breweries like this are often just bars that also serve food. It seems like it’s pretty obvoius to me that they should be classified as “adult location”… but I digress…

Digging into this particular edit, it’s pretty clear to me that someone is attempting to change “Claimstake” into “Mad Fate Brewing” without a proper review process.

Google street-view still shows the “Claimstake” sign out front, however the address on maps-view clearly shows that the name has been changed to “Mad Fate Brewing”.

The website looks like it’s [Mad Fate Beer Co.](https://madfatebeer.com/), which reflects the new location’s branding.

I feel like most breweries are just bars under a different name for marketing reasons, but I can see the appeal of why one might be nominated/approved… but that’s besides the point. “Mad Fate” needs to be nominated & approved based on it’s own merits, instead of piggybacking on the laurels of “Claimstake”.

Most places like this are family-friendly. This makes them highly eligible as they are **not** adult-oriented places.

It is repurposing if the old place closed and a new bar replaced it. If it was just a name change under new owners, it’s fine to update the details.

I think distilleries really are a case by case (and ever moreso, a country by country) thing.

We have some great ones in Scotland that double as museums and hold alcohol-making classes. Genuinely suitable for a family day out.

We also have some that are literally factories with no public allowed.

I don’t think any are ‘adult-only’ though.

Oh lol I was just discussing this earlier today. I had skipped that in review because I couldn’t tell if repurposing was happening here. But it does look like the same owners have closed the Claimstake Brewing tap room and are operating it as Mad Fate

And I forgot to mention that they already got the Title change through fwiw:

(But that isn’t evidence that it isn’t repurposing.)

And to address the other issue, you can flag the photos since there is no report button on the photo adds, but those reasons I can flag for don’t seem right. Will edit a screenshot next time I get a review. If I determine that it IS repurposing, currently I reject the photo, and then use a separate report form.

That didn’t take long.

None of those say this is an attempt to repurpose to me. So I just reject the photo, and then do a report that the original business has closed with the modification report:
