📋 Server Rules

Guidelines for our FL Studio Discord community to ensure a positive experience for everyone.

Welcome to Our Community!

By participating in our Discord server, you agree to follow these rules. Our goal is to create a supportive, creative environment where FL Studio producers can learn, share, and grow together. Violations may result in warnings, temporary mutes, or permanent bans depending on severity.

Piracy & Cracked Software

We strictly prohibit any discussion or sharing of pirated software. This protects creators' intellectual property and keeps our community legal and ethical.

🚫

No discussions, links, or help requests related to pirated software or plugins.

This includes asking where to find cracked FL Studio, plugins, or sample packs.
🚫

Do not ask others to open, export, or bypass FL Studio demo project limitations.

This circumvents FL Studio's licensing model and is considered piracy.

Spam & Flooding

Keep conversations meaningful and respectful of others' time. Excessive posting disrupts discussions and makes it hard for everyone to participate.

🚫

No spamming, flooding, mass pinging, or excessive emojis/images/caps.

This includes repeated messages, unnecessary @everyone/@here pings, and walls of text.
✅

Stay relevant and use the correct channels.

Check channel descriptions and pin messages to understand each channel's purpose.

NSFW & Harmful Content

We maintain a safe, welcoming environment for creators of all ages and backgrounds. Inappropriate content has no place in our community.

🚫

No NSFW, gory, violent, or disturbing content.

This includes explicit images, graphic violence, disturbing content, or anything inappropriate for a general audience.
🚫

No hate speech or slurs.

Language targeting race, gender, sexuality, religion, or other protected characteristics is not tolerated.
✅

Be respectful and inclusive.

Treat everyone with dignity regardless of their background or experience level.

Language

English is our primary language to ensure everyone can participate and moderators can effectively help maintain order.

✅

English only. Use English so mods and members can understand and help.

This ensures clear communication and allows our moderation team to effectively maintain community standards.

Self-Promotion & Advertising

We encourage sharing your music, but we have specific channels and guidelines to prevent spam and ensure quality feedback.

🚫

No unsolicited links, invites, or advertising.

Don't promote other Discord servers, products, or services without permission from moderators.
✅

You may share your music in feedback/showcase channels as per guidelines.

Use designated channels for music sharing and follow any posting limits or feedback requirements.

Harassment, Threats & Mental Health

Mental health is important to us. We provide support while maintaining boundaries to ensure everyone's safety and well-being.

🚫

No bullying, personal attacks, or threats.

This includes targeted harassment, doxxing attempts, or any behavior intended to harm or intimidate others.
✅

If you're struggling, consider professional resources.

While our community is supportive, serious mental health issues require professional help. We can provide general support and resources.

Usernames, Avatars & Profiles

Your profile represents you in our community. Keep it appropriate and avoid impersonation or inappropriate content.

🚫

No impersonation or inappropriate usernames/avatars/bios.

Don't pretend to be someone else, use offensive names, or display inappropriate profile content.
✅

Keep all visible content rule-compliant.

Your username, avatar, status, and bio should follow the same content guidelines as chat messages.

Pinging & DMs

Respect others' time and privacy. Use pings and direct messages responsibly to maintain a comfortable environment for everyone.

🚫

Don't ping @Staff unless necessary.

Use staff pings only for urgent issues, rule violations, or when you need immediate moderation assistance.
🚫

Don't DM members/staff for help without permission.

Ask for help in public channels first. This allows others to learn from answers and prevents staff from being overwhelmed.
✅

Use public help channels.

Public channels ensure faster responses, help others learn, and create a searchable knowledge base.

Use Channels Properly

Each channel has a specific purpose. Following channel guidelines helps keep discussions organized and easier to follow.

✅

Post in correct channels.

Check channel descriptions and pinned messages to understand what content belongs where.
✅

Read descriptions before posting.

Channel descriptions contain important guidelines, posting formats, and rules specific to that channel.

AI-Generated Content

We embrace AI as a creative tool while maintaining transparency and preventing deceptive practices in our creative community.

✅

Label AI content clearly.

When sharing AI-generated music, artwork, or text, clearly indicate that AI was used in the creation process.
🚫

Don't claim AI creations as fully original.

Be honest about your creative process. AI-assisted work should be labeled as such to maintain trust in our community.

Copyright & Ownership

Respect intellectual property rights. Only share content you own or have permission to use, and respect others' creative work.

🚫

Don't post copyrighted material you don't own.

This includes sharing copyrighted songs, samples, or other content without proper licensing or permission.
✅

Use properly licensed or original content.

Share your own creations, royalty-free content, or properly licensed material. When in doubt, ask first.

Moderator Instructions

Our moderation team works hard to maintain a positive environment. Cooperation helps us resolve issues quickly and fairly.

✅

Follow staff directions.

When a moderator gives instructions, please comply promptly. They're working to maintain order and help everyone.
🚫

Don't argue publicly with staff—discuss privately.

If you disagree with a moderation decision, DM the moderator or use appropriate appeal channels rather than arguing in public.

Ban Evasion

Bans are serious consequences for rule violations. Attempting to circumvent them shows disrespect for our community standards.

🚫

Ban evasion leads to permanent bans.

Using alternate accounts, asking others to relay messages, or any attempt to circumvent a ban will result in a permanent ban.
✅

Appeal bans through proper channels.

If you believe a ban was unfair, use the designated appeal process rather than trying to evade it.
