Honest, specific, kind.

Keep it about the music. Everything below follows from that.

Writing critiques

• Listen first. You need to hear at least 60% of a track before you can publish, and skipping ahead doesn't count.
• Be specific. Say where (pin it to the waveform), what (the element you hear) and what you'd try. “Nice mix” and “needs more punch” don't help anyone.
• Say what works, too. Artists need to know what to keep.
• Talk about the track, never the person who made it. Insults, comments about someone's identity and piling on get removed.
• Don't game it. Trading “useful” ratings, copy-pasting critiques or using AI to write them breaks the one rule that keeps this place working. Held critiques don't pay; removed ones cost credits.

Posting tracks

• Only post audio you made or have the rights to share. We stream it to critics and never let anyone download your original.
• Tell critics what you want feedback on. A focused brief gets focused critiques.
• Rate critiques honestly. “Useful” pays the critic, so it's how you thank people who helped.

What we act on

Harassment, hate, threats, spam, promotion outside sponsor slots, fake or low-effort critiques, stolen audio, and attempts to manipulate credits or reputation. Depending on severity we remove content, reverse credits, hold an account for review, or remove it. Reports are reviewed by people; AI only helps sort them.
