Community Guidelines

To protect our users, we restrict explicit sexual content involving adult nudity or sexual acts. Non-consensual sexual content or behavior (whether real or fictional) is strictly prohibited.

Exceptions may apply to non-explicit mature themes presented in clear artistic, cultural, or educational context.

These policies apply across all media formats, including photography, video, film, animation, illustrations, sculptures, and AI-generated content (e.g. deepfakes).

We’re committed to a safe and positive platform that protects our community’s well-being. We prohibit incitement of violence and remove graphic violence, gore, and animal exploitation. News and artistic portrayals involving violence are allowed, only if it does not contain graphic depictions or incite violence.

We aim to create an environment where users can safely explore new content without the risk of physical or financial harm. To achieve this, we restrict explicitly illegal goods or activities, and limit promotion of highly regulated products that may pose addiction risks or other harms, especially to younger users.

We’re committed to supporting safe, meaningful, and supportive conversations about mental health. While we allow mild mental health expression such as emotional struggles and recovery journeys for the adult audience, we remove content that promotes or depicts suicide, self-harm, disordered eating, or harmful body image practices.

BandLab restricts hate speech or ideologies that target individuals or groups based on protected attributes, such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or serious illness. Such content promote discrimination, social harm, and personal degradation, and thus have no place on our platform.

Violations result in content removal, warnings, and account suspension for repeated offenses. Examples include slurs, dehumanizing comparisons, calls for harm, or statements that exclude or degrade protected communities. We also remove content that promotes group superiority, advocates discrimination or violence, denies historical atrocities, or spreads harmful conspiracies against protected groups.

We allow empowering or self-referential use of slurs by affected communities, as well as educational, satirical, or documentary discussions about hate,  social or political issues,  when they are respectful and do not demean or incite harm. Learn more.

BandLab should be a safe space for all. Bullying or harassment, especially towards private individuals* or younger users, is not allowed. Violations result in content removal, warnings, and account suspension for repeated offenses.

Bullying behavior includes threats of violence or exposure of personal details, encouraging others to self-harm, personal attacks on appearance or intelligence, edited media meant to shame or misrepresent someone, and baseless allegations that could harm a person’s reputation. Repeated unwanted contact, spam comments, sexualized remarks, or speculative claims about someone’s gender or personal life are also considered harassment.

We may allow, depending on context, casual slang used in acceptable speech, or limited and proportionate responses to others, where the intent to harass or personally attack is clearly absent.

*Healthy critique of public figures may be allowed, but severe or targeted abuse, including coordinated trolling campaigns, is not. Learn more.

BandLab is committed to protecting the security of user accounts and personal data. Any activity that compromises another user’s account or the integrity of our platform is strictly prohibited. Violations result in content removal and immediate account termination.

This includes phishing, impersonation, or creating fake websites to steal credentials or personal information; distributing malicious software such as malware, spyware, or ransomware; sharing or promoting tools that bypass security systems; or attempting to access accounts or data without authorization. We also prohibit attacks on BandLab’s infrastructure intended to extract user data, defraud our payment systems, or disrupt platform operations. Learn more.

BandLab restricts content that reveals user’s own personal data or seeks others’ personal information, as this can compromise safety or privacy. Violations result in content removal and account suspension for repeated offenses.

This includes attempts to dox, share or obtain personal identifiers (such as names, photos, biometrics, government IDs, or contact details), residential or location information, medical or financial data, or any personal data obtained through illegal or hacked sources. We also remove content involving minors or incapacitated individuals, even if not explicitly sensitive, to protect their privacy and safety.

Limited exceptions apply for biometric features shared without other identifiers, or publicly available information with low risk of harm or doxxing, as well as personal details voluntarily shared for specific reasons (missing persons/ pets, charity events). Learn more.

This policy addresses account(s) or identities compromised by unauthorized individuals through impersonation, misrepresentation, deceptive means or data theft. Such behavior undermines user trust and platform security. Violations result in account suspension and investigation.

Impersonation includes using another person’s name, likeness, trademark or content without consent. Misrepresentation involves providing false or misleading information to distort one’s identity or credentials. Compromised accounts may result from phishing, malware, or social engineering. Learn more.

BandLab restricts inauthentic spam content, interactions, and information, including use of multiple accounts to disrupt others’ experiences or artificially inflate metrics. Accounts using spam bots or misleading links to cloak, redirect, or deceive users into visiting malicious sites will face content removal and immediate termination.

Spam behavior includes repetitive or unsolicited comments and chats, duplicate posts across accounts, excessive reposting, liking or following to inflate metrics, as well as buying, coordinating or selling engagement such as plays, likes, or followers.

The use of bots, automated tools, or scripts to bypass normal limits or scrape sensitive information is strictly prohibited, as are misleading links designed to cloak intent or redirect traffic to harmful destinations. Learn more.
