Community Guidelines

Standards of conduct expected from listeners, artists, playlist curators, record labels, and community members.

1. Purpose

StrmFarm exists to help listeners discover music, empower artists to reach authentic audiences, and create a trusted ecosystem where music discovery is driven by genuine engagement rather than artificial manipulation.

These Community Guidelines establish the standards of conduct expected from everyone using the Services. They are designed to protect listeners, artists, rights holders, partners, and the long-term integrity of the platform.

These Guidelines apply to all users of StrmFarm, including listeners, artists, playlist curators, promoters, record labels, music journalists, and any other individual or organization using the Services.

2. Our Community Values

Everything built on StrmFarm is guided by the following principles:

  • Authenticity: We believe music deserves authentic discovery. Every recommendation, campaign, and verified interaction should reflect genuine listener engagement rather than manipulation.
  • Fairness: Every participant should have an equal opportunity to succeed through legitimate participation. No user should gain an unfair advantage through abuse, automation, deception, or fraudulent activity.
  • Respect: Healthy communities are built through respectful communication. We encourage constructive conversations, appreciation for creativity, and respectful disagreement without harassment or abuse.
  • Artist Empowerment: Artists remain the owners of their creative work. StrmFarm exists to help artists build meaningful relationships with real listeners while protecting them from fraudulent engagement.
  • Transparency: We strive to clearly explain how the platform operates while protecting the confidential systems that maintain verification, security, and platform integrity.
