Community Guidelines

Last updated 20 August 2026

Avarta’s public spaces are for real DJs sharing real work. These guidelines apply to public profiles, avatars, shared gigs, gig photos, follows and likes. Private gig notes, finance records and health data are not public community content.

What is not allowed

harassment, bullying, threats, stalking or targeted abuse;
hate speech or attacks based on a protected characteristic;
sexual exploitation, non-consensual intimate material or sexual content involving minors;
graphic violence, credible incitement to violence or promotion of self-harm;
impersonation, deceptive profiles, scams, spam or manipulated engagement;
publishing private personal information without permission;
content you do not have the right to upload, including copyrighted photos or recordings;
anything unlawful or designed to bypass Avarta’s safety controls.

How content is checked

Public text is normalized and checked against safety and impersonation rules. Uploaded images are decoded, size-bounded and re-encoded to remove embedded metadata. Those file checks protect the service; they do not decide whether an image is objectionable.

Avatars and gig photos are published when you upload them. They are reviewed when someone reports them, and a published image can be quarantined or removed after the fact. Avarta tells you when that happens to something of yours, says why, and the decision can be appealed and reversed.

Report and block

In the app, open the action menu on a profile, avatar, shared gig or gig photo and choose Report. Pick the closest reason and add only the context needed to understand it. Do not put passwords, payment details, health information or private notes in a report.

Blocking is immediate and works in both directions: neither account can discover, view, follow, approve, like or retrieve protected media from the other. Existing follows and pending follow requests between the accounts are removed. You can review and undo your blocks in Settings → Blocked accounts.

How quickly we respond

Avarta reviews reports of objectionable content within 24 hours of receiving them and acts on what it finds. You can follow the state of every report you file in the app, under Settings → Reports and notices.

What moderation can do

Depending on the report and context, Avarta may approve or quarantine a photo, hide or remove public content, record a warning, suspend an account, ban an account, or dismiss a report. Actions and the public evidence used for the decision are recorded in an audit history. Moderators do not receive private finance, health, token or private-note data merely because a related public item was reported.

Every one of those actions can be reversed by a moderator: hidden and removed gigs can be restored, quarantined photos re-approved, and suspended or banned accounts reinstated. If an action is taken against your account you are told which action, and the reason the moderator recorded, under Settings → Reports and notices.

Appeals and copyright concerns

If you believe an action was wrong, or somebody used your work without permission, contact support@avarta.app. Identify the affected profile or content, explain the issue, and include information showing your rights where relevant. Avarta acknowledges appeals within 24 hours. Suspended and banned accounts can still sign in far enough to read the notice explaining the action.
