If you mean you posted a message about a party on BBRTS but in a section other than the party section, then they did the right thing.

The point of closing the "party" section is to prevent publication of events via their site that present an unacceptable (to the owners of the site) level of risk for Covid. Posting the same information elsewhere doesn't make it somehow valid.

Seriously? If that were true, BBRTS wouldn’t allow emails from CumUnion advertising their upcoming events. But, I’m definitely getting them, though I’m pretty sure I didn’t ask for them. 
Granted, I’m probably going - depending how gassed I am after work - but, that’s got nothing to do with an e-mail advert or reminder.

Just based on the atmosphere in the U.S. in the last 5 or 10 years, I would proceed with caution if I was in that site's position. The U.S. has always been regressively antisexual, and the moral crusaders are finding fresh ways to be more antisexual in recent years. SESTA/FOSTA uses the specter of trafficking to threaten pretty much any website that has adult content. Craigslist got rid of personals ads (only in the U.S.) and Tumblr got rid of porn because both sites decided it wasn't worth the legal battles they'd potentially get dragged into. 

If in the same weekend a church service gave covid to 500 people and an orgy gave covid to 50 people, the public outcry in the U.S. would declare the church service a worthy endeavor & proof of freedom/liberty and then simultaneously declare the orgy as proof of moral degeneracy. 

I would agree with some of the above comments that the difference between "Quick Connect" ads and "Local Parties" ads is often purely aesthetic. But I can see how it would be way easier to defend the appearance of one of those sections than the appearance of the other even if they can have the same functional result.

Actually, Tumblr got rid of porn not so much due to legal challenges, but because the new corporate owners of the company (Yahoo!) wanted to position it as the next big thing social media thing, like Instagram, hoping to make it widely appealing to advertisers (which, of course, is where such sites make their money). What they didn't comprehend was that a huge portion of their base was the people who served up R+ to X rated content, and users deserted in droves (and traffic fell off a cliff) as soon as that happened. Yahoo! naively thought that the losses from people who wanted to share X pics would be far offset by others flocking to use the service and thus attract advertisers.

The results can be seen in the company valuation. Yahoo! paid $1.1 billion (US dollars) for Tumblr in 2013. A substantial amount had already been written off as losses over the years, but eventually Verizon acquired Yahoo!, and then in 2019 sold Tumblr to Automattic (which also operates wordpress.com) for $3 million - less than 3/10ths of one percent of what Yahoo! paid for it six years earlier.

As for the church vs. orgy thing: no doubt a lot of people would feel that way. Part of the problem is the special solicitude given to religion under our constitution. For two centuries +, it was understood that the government could neither favor religion nor disfavor it - general rules that apply to all entities should apply equally to religious and non-religious alike. But there's a radical-right viewpoint that *any* restriction on religion, no matter how broadly it applies elsewhere, is unconstitutional. Unfortunately, that viewpoint is gaining ground in US courts thanks to two decades of court-packing by the right.
