Community Guidelines
Last updated: June 23, 2026
1. Welcome
Voises is a platform for creating, publishing, and discovering audio stories. This is a place to bring stories to life. Write a chapter, give it a voice, and publish it for people to find. Build worlds that unfold over a series, or drop a single piece that lands in one sitting. Find your audience, follow the creators you love, and get lost in something new every time you open the feed.
These guidelines explain what is and is not allowed when you create a story, publish a chapter, build a profile, comment, follow, or otherwise participate. Because Voises is built around publishing and discovery, most content here is meant to be heard by other people. These rules exist so creators can publish freely and listeners can explore without being misled, exploited, harassed, or put at risk.
They apply everywhere on Voises: the app, the website, the feed, story pages, chapters, profiles, comments, audio you generate and choose to publish, reports, and support messages.
2. Core Values
Creative freedom. Voises is for storytelling. Fiction goes to dark, strange, and uncomfortable places, and that is allowed. These rules target real harm, not imagination.
Respect for people. Treat other creators and listeners with basic decency. Disagreement is fine. Targeting people is not.
Consent and likeness. Real voices, names, faces, and life stories belong to the people connected to them. Fictional characters are yours to invent.
Honest publishing. Be clear about what a story is and how it was made. Do not pass off other people’s work as your own.
Accountability. When published content causes harm, we may limit its reach, remove it, review the account, or escalate.
3. How These Rules Scale
Voises is a publishing platform, so the level of review depends on reach.
Drafts and unpublished work. Stories you are still writing or producing and have not published get the most room. Core safety rules still apply, but we are not policing your drafts.
Published stories. Once a chapter is live in the feed or on a public story page, it is meant for an audience. It needs to follow the content standards below.
Amplified content. Stories that get surfaced widely in the For You feed, promoted, or distributed at scale may get stricter review, because reach raises the stakes.
Fiction is read in context. A villain doing villainous things, a character expressing an ugly worldview, or a dark plot is storytelling, not endorsement. We look at whether content is a story versus a real attempt to harass, deceive, or harm real people.
4. Content Standards
4.1 Harassment and Bullying
Do not use stories, chapters, comments, or profiles to target real people.
Not allowed: threats, targeted insults, or campaigns against a real, identifiable person. Repeated unwanted contact after someone asks you to stop. Publishing a story clearly built to humiliate a specific real person. Coordinating others to pile onto someone.
Fictional conflict between fictional characters is fine.
4.2 Hateful Content
Do not publish content that attacks or dehumanizes real people based on protected characteristics, or that promotes hateful ideologies as real advocacy.
Not allowed: slurs or dehumanizing content aimed at real people or groups. Praise, propaganda, or recruitment for extremist movements presented as real. Using a story as a thin wrapper for genuine hate advocacy.
A character who holds bigoted views inside a story is a character. The line is whether the work is fiction or a vehicle for real hate.
4.3 Sexual Content
Voises does not permit pornographic or sexually explicit audio. This is a content rating limit for a broadly distributed feed, not a judgment on mature themes generally.
Not allowed: pornographic or sexually explicit audio, scripts, or roleplay. Sexual solicitation. Any sexual content involving minors, in any form, fictional or otherwise. Non consensual sexualized content about real people.
Romance, tension, fade to black, and mature themes handled without explicit content are fine. Stories with mature themes should be labeled accordingly.
4.4 Violence and Self Harm
Fictional violence is part of storytelling and is allowed. We draw the line at real world harm.
Not allowed: real threats or calls for violence against actual people or groups. Functional instructions for committing violence or building weapons. Content that encourages real listeners toward suicide, self harm, or eating disorder behavior. Glorifying self harm as something to imitate.
Stories that depict violence, suicide, addiction, or recovery as part of the narrative are allowed. Handle heavy themes with care and label them. If a story centers on suicide or self harm, consider a content warning at the start.
4.5 Advice and Real World Claims
Voises is for stories, not professional advice. Do not present a story as real expert guidance.
Not allowed: claiming a story can diagnose, treat, or cure illness. Presenting medical, legal, or financial instruction as verified and guaranteed. Telling listeners to ignore real professional care.
A character who is a doctor or lawyer giving advice inside a story is fiction. Do not market a story as a substitute for the real thing.
4.6 Privacy and Personal Information
Respect people’s privacy in what you publish.
Not allowed: publishing someone’s address, phone number, private messages, or IDs. Telling someone else’s private real life story without their consent. Using Voises to collect sensitive data from listeners deceptively.
4.7 Intellectual Property
You own your original work, including prompts, drafts, recordings, uploads, story ideas, and other pre-existing intellectual property you bring to Voises. Generated story content depends on membership: active Voises members own generated story content created while their membership is active, while Voises owns generated story content created without an active membership.
Publish only what you have the right to publish, and do not use Voises ownership rules as permission to use someone else’s copyrighted work, voice, likeness, private story, music, recording, brand, or other protected material.
Not allowed: copying another creator’s story or audio and publishing it as your own. Uploading copyrighted scripts, music, recordings, or audio assets without permission. Using brand names or marks to imply an endorsement that does not exist.
Parody, homage, remixing, and transformative work can be fine when they are lawful and meaningfully your own creation. Credit sources where appropriate.
4.8 Deception and Impersonation
Be honest about who you are and what your content is.
Not allowed: impersonating another creator, a real person, an organization, or Voises itself. Presenting fiction or AI generated audio as verified real events. Scams, phishing, or fake offers in stories, profiles, or comments.
Clearly fictional stories are not deception. The issue is passing fiction off as fact, or pretending to be someone you are not.
4.9 Spam and Manipulation
Keep the feed worth listening to.
Not allowed: mass posting repetitive or low effort filler to game the feed. Manufacturing fake follows, listens, or engagement. Unsolicited advertising dressed up as a story. False promises of rewards or special access.
4.10 Illegal Activity
Do not use Voises to facilitate real crime.
Not allowed: functional instructions for crimes, fraud, or building weapons. Selling or promoting illegal drugs, weapons, or stolen goods. Promoting regulated products without the required context, age controls, or compliance.
A heist plot or a crime thriller is fiction. A working tutorial is not.
4.11 Technical Abuse and Listener Safety
Keep the platform safe and stable.
Not allowed: trying to bypass limits, moderation, or security. Malicious links, code, scraping, or bots. Content designed to overload the service. Audio designed to harm listeners, including sudden extreme loudness or harsh effects intended to startle or hurt. Label intense audio so listeners can prepare.
5. AI Generated Content
Voises gives creators AI tools to help generate and produce stories. That is a feature, not a violation. The standards above apply to AI generated audio the same way they apply to anything else you publish. You are responsible for what you publish, however it was made. Do not use AI generation to pass fiction off as real events.
6. Moderation
We review published content and behavior using automated systems, listener reports, and human review. Reach matters: the more widely a story is distributed, the closer the review. Context matters too, and fiction is read as fiction.
7. Enforcement and Appeals
Depending on the situation, we may warn a creator, reduce a story’s distribution, remove a chapter or story, limit features, suspend an account, or take further action to protect the platform and its listeners.
To report something or appeal a decision, email support@voises.com. Include enough detail for us to understand the issue: the account, the story or chapter, the date, and any relevant context.
8. Support Resources
If you are being harassed, block further contact where possible and report it. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a qualified crisis resource in your area first. Voises is not monitored for emergencies and cannot contact emergency services for you.
9. Updates
We may update these guidelines as Voises grows, as laws change, or as new safety needs emerge. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last updated. Thanks for helping keep Voises a place worth listening to.
