Community Guidelines

Share responsibly

Publish only content you have the right to share. Do not post private or identifying information about another person without permission, impersonate someone, misrepresent an affiliation, infringe intellectual-property rights, or use Cutty to coordinate deceptive activity, spam, or engagement manipulation.

Protect safety and respect

Cutty does not allow:

• Harassment, threats, stalking, targeted abuse, or intimidation.
• Hateful conduct or attacks based on protected characteristics.
• Sexually exploitative content or content that endangers minors.
• Content that promotes violence, self-harm, or unlawful conduct.
• Malware, account intrusion, access-control evasion, or attempts to disrupt the service.
• Abuse of reporting, blocking, authentication, playback, or other Cutty features.

Criticism and disagreement about music are welcome. Direct that energy at the work and the ideas, not at another listener's safety or dignity.

Shows and voice breaks

On Air shows, voice breaks, show titles, station names, and show comments follow every rule on this page. Public shows and their comments can be seen and heard by anyone, including people who are not signed in, so they must be suitable for everyone 13 and up. Shows go public without review, so check yours before you publish. In a show or a show comment, do not:

• Use hateful speech or attack people for who they are.
• Harass, threaten, or bully anyone, including other hosts and listeners.
• Include any sexual content involving minors.
• Put sexual content or sexual descriptions, graphic violence, or anything that promotes drug use or self-harm in voice breaks, show titles, station details, or comments on public shows.
• Share someone's private information, such as a home address or phone number.
• Pretend to be another person, artist, or station, or claim an official connection you do not have.
• Post spam, such as repeated or misleading shows, or shows made only to advertise.

Songs must be real releases, picked from Cutty's song search or found with Listen. Songs that Apple Music marks as explicit are allowed; when Cutty knows a song is explicit, it marks the song with an E. Voice breaks are for your own voice: do not use them to play music, recordings, or anyone else's voice.

When a show is reported. Signed-in listeners can report a show, a comment, or a voice break in a public show from its ••• menu, and anyone can email Cutty Support. A person on the Cutty team reviews reports, aiming to respond within 24 hours. A show or comment that several people report can be hidden until a person reviews it. We may remove a show, voice break, or comment, and restrict or suspend the account that made it. If you think we removed your show or comment by mistake, contact Cutty Support. For a copyright problem, follow Copyright complaints in the Terms of Use.

Report and block

Use the ••• menu on a review, comment, profile, or show, or on a voice break in a public show, to report content or an account. You can also block an account to limit interaction and visibility between you. Reports should be accurate and made in good faith; abusing the reporting system is itself a violation.

Do not use Cutty to report an emergency. Contact the appropriate local emergency service if someone may be in immediate danger.

How enforcement works

We may review reports and relevant account activity, remove or limit content, restrict features, preserve evidence, warn or suspend an account, or terminate access when we reasonably believe content or conduct violates these Guidelines or our Terms, threatens safety, exposes the service to risk, or must be addressed by law. Context, severity, history, and risk may affect the response.

We cannot pre-screen every item or guarantee immediate removal. If you believe an enforcement decision was mistaken, contact Cutty Support from the email address associated with your account and include enough detail to identify the decision. Do not send passwords or one-time codes.
