Community Guidelines
Songfork Community Guidelines
At Songfork, we strive to create a community where everyone feels empowered, safe, and respected. This page outlines our rules and guidelines related to your use of Songfork and applies to all types of content on the platform.
Contents
Copyright
We are committed to building a diverse, collaborative community where the rights of creators are respected. You are responsible for all activity associated with your account, including all content that you post. Uploading someone else's content without the necessary permissions can result in content removal and/or account termination.
Criticism
Criticism should focus on the content, not on the personal character of the creator. Share your opinions constructively. Before posting feedback, consider whether you would appreciate receiving the same feedback.
- Do: "This wasn't my favorite track of yours."
- Do: "I think different vocals on this track would work better."
- Don't: Attack the person behind the music or use abusive language.
Abuse
We have zero tolerance for abusive or threatening behavior within our community. Abuse includes any activity intended to attack or demean someone else, including content that sexualizes or degrades other users. Anyone engaging in this type of behavior risks immediate, permanent account termination.
Harassment
We define harassment as the unwanted, repeated pursuit of contact with someone who has indicated they do not wish to be contacted. If you send repeated unwanted messages or comments, you risk immediate, permanent account termination.
Unauthorized Recording or Publishing of Private Information
We do not allow the sharing of personal details or sensitive information about others without their permission. This includes recordings of private conversations, full names, photographs, unlisted phone numbers, and home or email addresses.
Impersonation & Misleading Metadata
We welcome the use of stage names or professional identities on Songfork, but you cannot impersonate or misrepresent yourself as another person or post misleading information. You must not create profiles or post content that makes others think you are someone else.
- Do: Use tags to indicate similarities to artists that inspire you.
- Do: Use your own original artwork on your profile.
- Don't: Upload tracks with an artist's name who is not officially associated with it.
Pornographic Content
We do not allow content that is predominantly sexual in nature or could be perceived as an aid to sexual gratification. This includes images or recordings containing nudity or detailed descriptions of sexual acts.
Child Safety
We do not tolerate child exploitation in any form. Songfork has no place for content, behavior, or accounts that exploit or endanger children or promote child sexual exploitation. A child is any person under the age of 18.
Suicide and Other Harmful Behavior
We do not allow any content that promotes suicide, self-injury, eating disorders, or substance abuse. Discussing self-harming behavior to raise awareness and seek support is acceptable, as long as it does not encourage self-harm.
Terrorist Content
Songfork strictly prohibits the dissemination of terrorist content and is committed to promptly removing it from the platform. We take proactive measures to combat terrorist content, including partnering with a specialized vendor for detection and removal.
Violence and Threatening Behavior
We do not allow intimidation or threats of violence. This includes incitement to or glorification of violent acts.
Hate Speech
While Songfork allows for individual beliefs and opinions, we do not tolerate behavior or content that promotes hatred, discrimination, or violence against others based on race, cultural identity, religious beliefs, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Spam, Gaming, and Misleading Content
Do not use Songfork to send unwanted promotional material, distribute misleading content, or artificially inflate play counts, followers, or engagement metrics. This includes bot activity, fake accounts, and coordinated inauthentic behavior.
Reporting Violations
If you encounter content that violates these guidelines, please report it using the tools available on the platform. Our Trust & Safety team reviews all reports and takes appropriate action.
