Community Guidelines

What kind of community Troubadour wants to support

Troubadour is meant to be a working network, not just a vanity directory. Artists, acts, agents, and venues should use it to build genuine relationships, share accurate profile information, and handle opportunities professionally.

Expected behavior

• Be honest about who you are, who you represent, and what kind of work you can offer.
• Respect protected relationships instead of trying to bypass agent-managed or agent-only routes.
• Use messages, threads, field notes, bookings, contracts, and invoices for real coordination, not harassment or spam.
• Treat other people’s availability, logistics, budgets, and planning information with care.

What should not happen here

• Fake claims over artists, acts, agents, venues, or claimable profiles.
• Misleading use of agent-managed unclaimed profiles.
• Pressure tactics, abusive behavior, fraud, or attempts to extract payment through deceptive bookings or invoices.
• Posting or sending content that makes moderation/admin review necessary because it is unsafe, abusive, or clearly dishonest.

Trust tiers and review

Some parts of the platform may be shaped by trust tiers. Higher-trust access is not meant as status theater. It exists so Troubadour can protect users, manage risk, and support serious workflows without opening every surface to misuse.

Moderation/admin review may step in when reports, disputes, or claim conflicts show that more oversight is needed.

Draft reminder

These guidelines are draft product rules pending legal review. They are meant to set expectations clearly, not to make a final legal claim.
