Content & Community Guidelines

backed.love runs on trust. A prop only means something because it's a real recommendation from a real artist. These guidelines exist to keep it that way. They apply to everything on the platform: profiles, bios, photos, props, links, and anything you share through the platform.

1. Be a genuine curator

• Only prop artists whose music you actually believe in. If you wouldn't tell a friend "listen to this person" off-stage, don't put them in your Top 3.
• Never buy, sell, or trade props — no money, no favours, no "I'll prop you if you prop me" deals. Mutual props between artists who genuinely admire each other are fine and welcome; quid-pro-quo arrangements are not.
• You have three slots. Treat them as valuable — that scarcity is what makes them worth something to the artists you choose.

2. Publish what's yours

• Only upload content you have the right to use: your own photos, your own bio, links to your own socials and music.
• Credit and permission matter. If a photo of you was taken by someone else, make sure they're okay with you publishing it.
• Represent yourself honestly. Don't inflate achievements, don't use someone else's name, image, or recordings, and don't claim a placeholder profile that isn't yours.

3. Keep it kind and legal

• No hate speech, harassment, bullying, or threats.
• No content that is unlawful, sexually explicit, graphically violent, or that promotes harm.
• No spam, phishing links, malware, or misleading external links on your profile.
• If you enable a collaboration contact link, remember it's a public email route — use an address you're comfortable being visible.

4. Play the platform straight

• One profile per artist or act. No duplicate accounts, no placeholder squatting on other artists' names.
• Don't attempt to game endorsement counts, rankings, or the fee system — including fake accounts or simulated tipping.
• QR codes are for your own page and your own moments (gigs, merch, livestreams). Point people at what you say you're pointing them at.

5. How we enforce this

We review reported content and act when guidelines are broken. In practice:

1. First, we usually reach out and ask you to fix the issue — most things are honest mistakes.
2. We can remove content, revoke props, or take down profiles that break the rules.
3. Serious or repeated violations lead to account suspension or removal. Payment fraud is reported to the payment processor.

6. Report something

See a profile, prop, or tip flow that breaks these rules? Emailhello@backed.love with the details. We're a small team working with real scenes, so we read everything.
