Community standards

Culture, made explicit.

Musephoria works because the norms are enforced — by the product, by moderation, and by the people in it.

Review standards

  • ·Listen before you write — the cockpit tracks listening and it gates submission.
  • ·Anchor notes to timestamps. "The chorus somewhere" is not a location.
  • ·Every review names at least one strength and one concrete, actionable improvement.
  • ·Address the areas the creator asked about before adding anything else.

Critique guidelines

  • ·Honest without being hostile. Critique the work, never the person.
  • ·Taste is context, not verdict — say what you hear and why it matters.
  • ·Disagreement between reviewers is normal and useful. Don't fight it out in replies.

Anti-spam

  • ·No self-promo dumping. Musephoria is not a promotion channel.
  • ·No review farming: reciprocal praise rings, credit trades, and copy-paste reviews are detected and moderated.
  • ·Low-effort reviews earn no credit and cost karma.

AI policy

  • ·AI can help you phrase a thought you actually had while listening.
  • ·Generic AI-generated feedback that doesn't reflect real listening is treated as low-effort and rejected.
  • ·Never present machine output as your musical judgment — deceptive reviews are a bannable offense.

Uploads & copyright

  • ·Only upload work you own or have rights to share for critique.
  • ·Submissions are private by default: only assigned reviewers can hear them.
  • ·Copyright complaints are handled through support and can result in removal.

Moderation

  • ·First-line: coaching. Rejected reviews come with an explanation.
  • ·Repeated low-effort or hostile behavior: warnings, credit adjustments, suspension.
  • ·Every moderation decision is logged and appealable via support.
