The Artist Base is a community built for music artists — DJs, producers, vocalists, and everyone in between. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where artists can learn, grow, and connect. These guidelines exist to protect that mission and ensure everyone can participate with confidence.
Treat every member the way you'd want to be treated. We welcome diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and skill levels. Constructive feedback is encouraged. Abusive or disrespectful language is not.
The following types of content are not allowed on The Artist Base:
Posts or behavior that disrupt the tone of the community, make others uncomfortable, or are otherwise not a fit for The Artist Base. We decide this. We may remove the content and restrict or ban the account immediately, without a warning, even when no other rule on this page applies.
Unsolicited promotions, repetitive content, bot-generated messages, or any form of commercial spam. This includes mass-sending identical messages or flooding community channels.
Promoting any product, service, company, brand, or offer that The Artist Base has not approved. The industry does not matter. This covers music tools and also any other business, such as agencies, finance, coaching outside music, software, consumer brands, affiliate links, discount codes, and invites to buy or sign up elsewhere. Sharing your own music in the community is not commercial promotion. We decide which promotions are acceptable here. We may remove the promotion and restrict or ban the account immediately, without a warning, including for a single post.
Targeted harassment, intimidation, threats, doxxing, or any behavior intended to make someone feel unsafe or unwelcome. This includes persistent unwanted contact after being asked to stop, and continuing to harass a member outside the platform, such as through social media or messaging apps, when that conduct is aimed at a member of this community.
Sexually explicit material, graphic violence, or other content that is inappropriate for a professional music community. Artistic expression is valued, but content must be suitable for our diverse community.
Sexual or exploitative content involving anyone under 18 is forbidden. We remove it, ban the account immediately, and report it to the relevant authorities. You must be at least 16 to use the Platform.
Content that encourages or glorifies suicide or self-harm is not allowed. We may remove it and restrict or ban the account. Reaching out because you need support is not a violation. If you are in crisis, contact 113 Zelfmoordpreventie at 0800-0113, or your local emergency number.
Intimate or sexual images of someone without their consent are not allowed, including deepfakes and synthetic nudes. We may remove them and restrict or ban the account immediately.
Phishing, malware, fake labels, fake collaborations, and requests to pay or hand over stems or files in exchange for a promise. We may remove the content and restrict or ban the account immediately.
Offering or requesting illegal goods or services, including drugs, weapons, and the sale or purchase of streams, plays, followers, or other fake engagement. We may remove the content and restrict or ban the account immediately.
Insults, name-calling, profanity, and other abusive or disrespectful language are not allowed. It does not matter who or what the language is aimed at. We may remove that content and restrict or ban the account immediately, without a warning, to protect the community.
Content that promotes hatred, discrimination, or violence against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
Threats of physical harm, encouragement of violence, or content that glorifies violent acts. This includes both direct threats and veiled or implied threats.
Deliberately spreading false information that could cause harm to others or undermine trust in our community.
Sharing content you don't own or have permission to use. This includes uploading music, images, or other creative work without the rights holder's consent. Samples and remixes must be properly cleared or used within fair use guidelines.
Sharing someone else's unreleased music, stems, session files, or private messages without their permission. We may remove the content and restrict or ban the account.
Music, vocals, or artwork made or materially altered with AI must be clearly labeled as such. Presenting that work as entirely human-made is not allowed. We may remove unlabeled synthetic content, and restrict or ban the account when the omission is deceptive or repeated.
Pretending to be another person, artist, brand, or organization, or using someone's name, voice, face, or likeness without permission. This includes voice clones and deepfakes. Parody accounts are not permitted.
Creating or using another account to get around a restriction or ban. One person may have only one account. We may ban the new account immediately.
If you see content that violates these guidelines, you can report it directly through the platform. Every post, comment, message, and demo has a report option. When you submit a report:
We may remove any content, and restrict or ban any account, immediately and without a warning, whenever we believe that is necessary to protect the community. We do not need a listed violation to do that. This includes posts or behavior that disrupt the tone of the community, make others uncomfortable, or are not a fit here. We decide what protects the community.
The following are zero tolerance. We remove the content and may restrict or ban the account immediately, without a warning, including on a first violation:
The list above is not a limit. For anything else, we may start with content removal or a warning, or we may restrict or ban immediately when we believe that is needed to protect the community.
Level 1 — Content Removal
The specific content is removed. You receive a notification explaining which guideline was violated.
Level 2 — Warning
A formal warning is added to your account. You receive a detailed explanation of the violation. Warnings are cumulative — repeated warnings lead to escalation.
Level 3 — Account Restriction
Your ability to post, comment, and interact is suspended. You can still browse the platform and access your purchased content and courses. We may apply a restriction immediately, including on a first violation, when we believe that is needed to protect the community. A restriction is also applied after 3 accumulated warnings.
Level 4 — Ban
Your account is banned and you cannot access the member area. We may ban an account immediately, without a prior warning, for abusive, insulting, or profane conduct, and for other severe violations such as threats of violence or illegal activity. A ban stays in place until we lift it.
We believe in fairness. If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, you have the right to appeal:
To protect our community, content that receives multiple reports from different users may be temporarily hidden from public view while it is being reviewed. This is an automated safety measure and does not constitute a final decision. The content will be restored if no violation is found upon review.
You have control over your own experience on The Artist Base:
We are committed to transparency in our moderation practices. We publish regular reports about the number of reports received, actions taken, and outcomes. These reports are available on our transparency page.
We may update these Community Guidelines from time to time to reflect changes in our platform, community needs, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify users through the platform. Your continued use of the platform after changes are made constitutes your acceptance of the updated guidelines.
If you have questions about these guidelines, need help with a moderation issue, or want to report something that requires urgent attention, contact us at helpdesk@masterthemix.com.
