Community Guidelines
Last updated: September 30, 2026
1. Welcome
Voises, a place to bring your stories to life.
Create one chapter or fifty. Build an enormous fictional universe or tell a story that lasts ten minutes. Find an audience, follow creators you love, and hopefully stumble across something you never would have found anywhere else.
Like any community, though, we need a few rules.
These guidelines apply to what you publish and how you interact with other people across Voises, including stories, chapters, profiles, comments, audio, cover art, reports, and support messages.
The basic idea is pretty simple: tell the stories you want to tell without making Voises miserable or dangerous for everyone else.
2. What we believe
Creative freedom matters. Stories can be dark, uncomfortable, weird, violent, sad, offensive, or complicated. Fiction would be pretty boring otherwise. We care about preventing real harm, not sanitizing imagination.
People deserve basic respect. Disagree with someone. Criticize their work. Hate the ending of their story. Just don’t turn that into harassment or abuse.
Real people are real people. Their voice, face, identity, private information, and life story aren’t fictional raw material you can use however you want.
Be honest about what you’re publishing. Fiction can pretend to be almost anything inside the story. It just shouldn’t deceive people outside of it.
You’re responsible for what you publish. Voises gives you tools and a place to share your work. What you do with them is ultimately up to you.
3. How these rules work
A half finished story sitting in your drafts is different from a story being recommended to you, so we don’t treat them exactly the same.
Your drafts are your drafts. If you haven’t published something, we give you as much room as we reasonably can. Core safety rules still apply, but we are not interested in policing unfinished fiction sitting in your account.
Once you publish, you have an audience. Published stories and chapters need to follow the rules below.
The bigger the audience, the more careful we may be. Stories that are widely recommended, promoted, or distributed can receive additional review. Reach raises the stakes.
And most importantly, fiction is fiction. A murderer in a crime novel is not an endorsement of murder. A terrible character can hold terrible beliefs. A villain is allowed to be a villain.
We care about the difference between telling a story and using a story as an excuse to harm real people.
4. Content standards
4.1 Harassment and bullying
Don’t use Voises to go after real people.
Threatening someone, repeatedly contacting them after they ask you to stop, organizing a pile on, or publishing something whose obvious purpose is humiliating a specific person isn’t storytelling. It’s harassment.
Characters fighting with other characters is obviously fine. Fictional drama is not real world bullying.
4.2 Hateful content
Characters can be awful. Your account can’t be.
You may depict racism, prejudice, extremism, or hateful characters as part of a story. What you can’t do is use Voises to genuinely attack or dehumanize people based on protected characteristics, recruit people into extremist movements, or publish propaganda disguised as fiction.
Context matters. A character expressing hatred inside a story is very different from a creator using that character as a mouthpiece for real hate.
4.3 Sexual content
Voises is built for a broadly distributed storytelling feed, so there are limits on sexually explicit content.
Pornographic or explicitly sexual audio, scripts, and roleplay are not allowed. Neither is sexual solicitation.
Sexual content involving minors is never allowed, fictional or otherwise. Neither is non consensual sexualized content involving a real person.
Romance is fine. Sexual tension is fine. Mature themes are fine. Fade to black exists for a reason.
If your story deals heavily with mature themes, label it accordingly.
4.4 Violence and self harm
Stories are allowed to be violent.
Crime novels, horror stories, war stories, murder mysteries, and characters dealing with addiction, suicide, or self harm all have a place in fiction.
What doesn’t belong here are real threats, calls for violence against actual people, useful instructions for hurting people or building weapons, or content designed to push listeners toward suicide, self harm, or eating disorder behavior.
If your story deals seriously with suicide, self harm, or similarly heavy material, use good judgment and consider warning listeners before the story begins.
4.5 Advice and real world claims
Voises is a storytelling platform, not a doctor, lawyer, financial adviser, or substitute for any of them.
A fictional doctor can give terrible medical advice because they are a fictional doctor. What you can’t do is market a story as verified medical, legal, or financial guidance, claim it can diagnose or cure someone, guarantee outcomes, or tell listeners to ignore actual professional care.
Tell stories. Don’t disguise professional advice as one.
4.6 Privacy
Some stories are yours to tell. Some aren’t.
Don’t publish another person’s home address, phone number, identification documents, private messages, or other sensitive information.
And don’t take someone’s private real life experiences and turn them into public content without their permission.
Voises also cannot be used to deceptively collect sensitive information from listeners.
4.7 Intellectual property
Your story text and rights.
You retain the rights you have in your original writing and in AI-assisted text you choose to use, whether you pay for Voises or not. Using Voises does not transfer those rights to us. Copyright protection for AI-generated text depends on applicable law.
The audio and cover art Voises produces are a little different. If you have an active membership, you own the produced audio and imagery too. If you don’t, you can still publish them on Voises, but Voises owns those produced assets and licenses them back to you for use through the app and its sharing features.
Your rights in story text remain yours either way. The full legal version lives in our Terms of Service.
Music, sound effects, and ambiance available inside Voises come from licensed libraries. They belong to their respective licensors. You can use them as part of your Voises stories, but you cannot extract them, resell them, re upload them, or treat them as your own standalone assets.
And, naturally, our ownership rules don’t give you ownership of somebody else’s work.
Don’t copy another creator’s story or audio and pretend you made it. Don’t upload copyrighted writing, music, recordings, or other material you don’t have permission to use. Don’t use somebody else’s brand to pretend they endorsed you.
Parody, homage, remixing, and transformative work can absolutely be part of storytelling when they are lawful and genuinely transformative. Give credit when credit is due.
4.8 Deception and impersonation
Fiction asks people to believe impossible things for a little while. That doesn’t mean you get to deceive them for real.
Don’t impersonate another creator, a real person, an organization, or Voises.
Don’t present a fictional story as a verified real event. Don’t pass off synthetic narration as an authentic recording of a real person. Don’t run scams, phishing attempts, or fake offers through stories, profiles, or comments.
Making something up is storytelling.
Making something up and deliberately convincing people it actually happened is deception.
4.9 Spam and manipulation
Nobody opens Voises hoping to find spam.
Don’t flood the feed with repetitive or low effort content just to game distribution. Don’t buy or manufacture fake follows, listens, or engagement. Don’t disguise unsolicited advertising as stories, and don’t promise fake prizes, rewards, or access to trick people into engaging.
Make something people actually want to listen to.
4.10 Illegal activity
You can write about crime. You can’t use Voises to help people commit it.
A bank robbery in a thriller is fine. A practical guide to robbing a bank is not.
Don’t publish functional instructions for committing crimes, fraud, violence, or building weapons. Don’t use Voises to sell or promote illegal drugs, weapons, stolen goods, or regulated products without the appropriate legal requirements and safeguards.
Fiction can explore illegal behavior. The platform cannot facilitate it.
4.11 Technical abuse and listener safety
Don’t break Voises, attack Voises, or make using Voises dangerous for other people.
That includes trying to bypass security or moderation systems, running malicious bots or scraping systems, distributing malicious links or code, or deliberately trying to overload the service.
Audio matters too. Don’t create audio specifically designed to hurt or startle listeners with extreme volume or harsh effects. If a story contains unusually intense audio, give people a heads up.
5. Creating with AI
Voises helps you draft your story using AI. You can use that help to create and revise story text, make cover art, and turn the text you choose into audio with our library of narrators.
Review what you publish. AI-assisted text can be inaccurate or too similar to someone else’s work, and the same content and intellectual property rules apply to every story.
Whatever tools you use, you’re responsible for what you publish.
6. Moderation
We don’t read every story before it goes live, and a story appearing on Voises does not mean we endorse it.
We use a combination of automated systems, reports from the community, and human review to enforce these guidelines. We may remove content, restrict it, or limit how widely it is distributed when it breaks the rules.
Context matters. Fiction will be read as fiction, and we will try to understand a story as a whole rather than judging an isolated sentence as if it were a tweet.
Reach matters too. The more people something is being shown to, the more closely we may look at it.
If we make a moderation decision you think we got wrong, you can appeal it and ask for human review.
7. Enforcement and appeals
Most problems don’t require the nuclear option.
Depending on what happened, we may warn you, reduce a story’s distribution, remove a chapter or story, limit parts of your account, suspend your account, or take additional action when necessary to protect the community.
If you want to report something or appeal a decision, email support@voises.com.
Tell us what happened and include whatever will help us find it: the account, story or chapter, approximate date, and any useful context.
We’ll take it from there.
8. When something is bigger than Voises
There are some situations a storytelling app simply isn’t equipped to solve.
If someone is harassing you, block them where possible and report them to us.
If you or somebody else is in immediate danger, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource where you live. Voises is not monitored as an emergency service, and we cannot dispatch help on your behalf.
9. These guidelines will change
Voises is going to evolve, and these rules will too.
We may update them as the community grows, the product changes, laws change, or we encounter situations we didn’t anticipate when we wrote them.
When we make changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page.
Until then: write something good, be decent to each other, and help us keep Voises a place worth listening to.
