Exceptions are made when permission is given by the musician/publisher to use their music. We still have the right to reject mods or take down existing ones if we find that it cannot be in the site for various copyright reasons. When uploading music mods, make sure you're uploading it in the correct category. If your mod isn't solely focused on music but contains music, you will still need to ask a moderator to approve your mod. This is temporarily until we'll implement a 'send for review' feature. Setting your mod as hidden should work until your mod is approved. **Not Allowed** * Music from a movie or a show. * Studio/Big Budget Songs are not allowed (ex: VEVO music, music from internationally known artists) * Music that is not freely available to download (ex: music that must be purchased) **Allowed** * Music from games or anime. * Music with the licenses: Public Domain, CC or no copyright. * Music that the artist has provided a free download for. ## Other Things to Consider * Consecutive offenses will result in longer ban lengths. This includes evading bans. * We change our rules occasionally and sometimes we miss on checking some mods, we don't have bots to do this job and it takes time to discuss certain mods if they break our rules or not. * Please do not compare your case to other cases. * We use a system of strikes; moderators decide on case-by-case basis how to apply them. They do not automatically expire and depend on the user, rule broken, severity and the decision of the moderators. * Listen and follow to the requests of the moderators. They are here to help enforce the rules so make sure to listen to them.
