Moderation policy

What people can actually post

Very little, by design. You can set a username, a display name, a bio, and an avatar. You can save songs and share cards.

You cannot upload audio, video, or images beyond an avatar URL, and the songs in the catalog come from a recognition service matching commercially released recordings — not from user uploads. Most of what makes moderation hard on other platforms does not exist here.

Not allowed

Harassment, threats, or targeted abuse of a person or group.

Hate speech — attacking people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Sexual content involving minors, in any form. This is reported to the relevant authorities, not merely removed.

Impersonating another person, artist, or organisation in a way designed to mislead.

Using a profile primarily to advertise a scam or drive traffic to one.

Enforcement

Depending on what happened and whether it has happened before: the specific content is removed; the account is restricted from public-facing features such as a creator page; or the account is removed.

Content involving minors, credible threats of violence, or coordinated harassment skips the graduated steps.

Appeals

If you believe an action against your account was wrong, reply to the notice you received or write to support@earworm.network. A person will look at it again.

We would rather reverse a wrong call than defend it.

Automated decisions

Rate limits are applied automatically to protect the service from abuse and cost. Those are temporary and clear on their own.

Removing content or restricting an account is a decision a person makes. No account is banned by an automated system alone.
