Community Guidelines
Last update: 19/10/2026
Joymixa is a place to make music live, and much of what you play was made by other people. These Community Guidelines say what is not allowed, how to flag, report and block, and what we do when something is reported. They are part of the Terms of Service: if you use joymixa.com, you agree to follow them.
1. What is not allowed
Nothing you upload, name, write or share may be any of the following. This covers audio, track, recording and playlist names, descriptions, display names, usernames, bios, links and pictures.
- Illegal content, or content that helps others to break the law
- Hate and harassment: content that attacks, threatens or demeans a person or a group because of who they are, and abuse aimed at other users
- Impersonation: pretending to be another person, band or organization
- Sexual content involving minors, in any form
- Pornographic content
- Content that encourages suicide, self-injury or an eating disorder
- Copyright infringement: only upload audio you own or have permission to use
- Spam: repeated, misleading or irrelevant names and descriptions, and advertising
Pornographic content, and content that encourages suicide, self-injury or an eating disorder, are prohibited for every user. Marking such content as explicit does not make it allowed. Section 8 of the Terms of Service lists further rules that also apply.
2. Mark explicit content
Strong language, sexual themes and violent themes are allowed only if you mark the track as explicit when you upload it. Sexual themes are not the same as pornographic content, which is never allowed.
Explicit tracks are shown only to signed-in adults, and so are the recordings and playlists that use them. They carry an "E" badge. If you see a track that should be marked and is not, report it and choose "Explicit content not marked as explicit".
3. Report and Block
Report. Open the "More options" menu (the three vertical dots) on any track, recording, playlist or profile that is not yours and choose Report. Pick a reason and, if you can, tell us what is wrong. You can report without an account. Reports from signed-in users do more: the track, recording or playlist you report is hidden from other users while we review it. There is a daily limit on how many items one person can hide this way; reports over the limit are still reviewed. A report about a profile, and a report made without an account, do not hide anything by themselves.
Block. Choose Block user in the same menu to stop seeing a person's tracks, playlists and recordings anywhere in Joymixa. Blocking only changes what you see: the other person is not told, and nothing is removed for anyone else. Report and Block are separate on purpose, so you can do either or both. We are told when an account is blocked, and many blocks against one account are something we look at. You can unblock people from the Blocked users list in your profile.
4. How we review a report
A person reads every report, and we review each one within 24 hours of receiving it. If the content breaks these guidelines or the Terms of Service, we remove it. If it does not, or if the report was a mistake, we restore it. When we decide, we tell the owner, and the reporter too when we have an email address for them.
Removed content stays visible to its owner, marked as removed by moderation. We keep it as a record so that a decision can be appealed. The owner can delete it at any time.
5. What happens to accounts
When a report is upheld, we remove the content and, by default, suspend the account. We may decide not to suspend, for example for a first, minor mistake. A suspended account cannot sign in, and its content is hidden from other users. For serious violations we may suspend or terminate an account without warning, as set out in the Terms of Service.
Copyright has a stricter rule. An account with three upheld copyright reports is terminated.
6. Appeals
Every time we remove content or suspend an account, we send an email that says what we decided and why. If you think we got it wrong, reply to that email. A person reads your reply and reviews the decision, and we may restore the content or the account. The Terms of Service describe your other options for redress.
