Community Guidelines

BandScope is a community for musicians, bands, venues, and music fans. To keep it a safe and welcoming place for everyone, we ask all members to follow these guidelines.

Be Respectful

Treat every member of the BandScope community with respect, regardless of their skill level, genre, role, background, or location. Constructive feedback is welcome; personal attacks are not.

No Harassment or Bullying

Harassment, intimidation, stalking, or any behaviour intended to make another user feel unsafe is not tolerated. This includes repeated unwanted contact, threats, and targeted abuse in messages or public content.

No Hate Speech

Content that promotes hatred or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic is prohibited.

No Spam or Fake Profiles

Do not create fake profiles, impersonate other musicians or bands, or post repetitive, irrelevant, or misleading content. Automated or bulk posting is not allowed.

No Inappropriate or Explicit Content

Sexually explicit, pornographic, or graphic violent content is not permitted. Keep your profile, images, and messages appropriate for a professional music community.

Respect Intellectual Property

Only post content you own or have the right to share. Do not upload music, images, or promotional materials that belong to someone else without permission.

Consequences

Violations of these guidelines may result in:

  • A warning from our moderation team.
  • Removal of content that violates the guidelines.
  • Temporary suspension of your account.
  • Permanent ban from BandScope for serious or repeated violations.

How to Report

If you see content or behaviour that violates these guidelines, use the "···" menu on any user's profile to report them. You can also choose to block a user to prevent them from interacting with you.
