Community Guidelines

EPonGO is a place to make things, share things, and find your people. These guidelines exist so the platform stays one we'd want to spend time on too. If you read nothing else, read this: be real, be kind, only share what's yours to share.

The vibe

EPonGO is for music, conversation, performance, healing, comedy, podcasts, late-night chats, and most things in between. Different rooms have different energy. Hosts set the tone of their Stages. Creators set the tone of their profiles. We trust you to read the room and act accordingly.

Be real, be kind

We expect you to:

  • Be yourself. One person, one Account. Don't impersonate someone else.
  • Treat people like people — including artists, hosts, listeners, moderators, and the folks who keep the platform running.
  • Disagree without dehumanizing. Critique an idea, not a person's right to exist.
  • Keep private things private. Don't share someone's address, contact info, or other personal details without their consent.

We don't allow:

  • Harassment, threats, or targeted abuse against any User or group.
  • Hate speech, slurs, or content that promotes violence against people based on who they are.
  • Sexual content involving minors, in any form, ever. This is the brightest line we have and it's permanent.
  • Promoting self-harm or suicide. We'll always try to point you to help instead.
  • Doxxing, stalking, or coordinated harassment campaigns.

Respect creator rights

Most of what gets uploaded to EPonGO is someone's creative work. Treat it that way.

Some examples of what works:

  • Uploading your own tracks. Your music, your performance, your recording.
  • Sharing collaborations where every contributor has agreed to the upload.
  • Playing music in a Stage that you own or that you've been licensed to play.
  • Posting Song Lab outputs you generated and accepted.
  • Linking to or quoting other people's work in a way that gives them credit.

Some examples of what doesn't:

  • Uploading a commercial release as if it were your own.
  • Streaming a movie or TV soundtrack in a Stage to a crowd.
  • Using someone's vocal recording in your own track without their permission.
  • Re-uploading another creator's EPonGO track to your profile.
  • Filing a copyright complaint about a track that isn't yours just to take it down.

If someone files a copyright complaint about your Content and the complaint is granted, the Content comes down. You'll be notified and you can file a counter-notification if you believe the takedown was a mistake. Repeated complaints upheld against the same User can lead to losing access to upload, broadcast, or other Account features. The full framework lives in our Copyright Policy and our Repeat Infringer Policy.

Live Stages

Stages are live. That changes the dynamic in a few ways worth knowing:

  • You're responsible for what comes out of your mic, your music player, and your shared audio. Same rules as uploading apply — if you don't have the rights, don't broadcast it.
  • Some Stages are recorded. Where recording is on, you'll see an indicator in the room. Speak accordingly.
  • Hosts can promote, demote, mute, and remove participants. That's their room.
  • Tips, votes, and follows in a Stage are intentional public actions. Don't coordinate to manipulate them.
  • If a Stage starts heading somewhere it shouldn't (harassment, hate, illegal Content), let us know through the contact options on the platform — we'll look at it.

EPonGO can't guarantee that any specific Content you play in a Stage is cleared for live broadcast — that's on you. Playing your own catalog, your own song demos, and creator-owned music from the EPonGO library is the safest path.

Comments, chat, and reactions

Comments and chat keep the platform feeling alive. To keep them readable:

  • Stay on topic for the room you're in.
  • No spam, no automation, no link-dumping to drive traffic elsewhere.
  • Constructive criticism is welcome. Cruelty isn't.
  • Don't use comments to share contact information for off-platform fraud.

Hosts and creators can mute or block individual Users in their rooms and on their profiles. EPonGO can also remove comments that violate these guidelines.

Profiles and identity

Your profile is your front door. Some basics:

  • Use a display name that reflects you or your project — not a real-world celebrity or a brand you're not affiliated with.
  • Don't put contact info in your profile that could put another person at risk.
  • Cover art and avatars need to be yours to use, just like everything else.

AI and Song Lab

Some of what gets made on EPonGO — including Song Lab outputs — involves AI tools. We're okay with that. The rules don't change: you still need the right to use any source material you feed in (lyrics, references, samples, voice clips), and you're still responsible for what comes out. Don't claim a real artist made an AI-generated track they didn't make.

Reporting and enforcement

If something on EPonGO breaks these guidelines, let us know through the contact options on the platform. We review reports as quickly as we can. For copyright-specific issues, use the formal flow described in our Copyright Policy.

Enforcement is case-by-case. Depending on what we find, we may take no action, send a warning, remove the Content, restrict a feature, suspend an Account, or terminate an Account.

If you abuse the reporting tools — filing false reports, brigading, or trying to silence creators you disagree with — that itself is a violation and can lead to the same range of consequences.

We edit this page

EPonGO grows and so do these guidelines. When something material changes we'll update the date below and let you know in the product. Treat this page as the current expectation, not a fixed document.
