Artificial behavior, spammy conduct, manipulative interactions with our platform and malicious content ruin the experience for everyone and harm both our platform and our users.
We take an active and aggressive stance against this form of platform manipulation.
The following behaviors are against the Noice Terms of Service and community guidelines:
Posting or sharing content in a way that is spammy, obnoxious or repetitive, whether through automated or manual means
Spam and spammers actively destroy everyone’s good experience. They also mislead, scam, derail, and otherwise interfere in people’s daily life and the safe and effective functioning of platforms.
This includes the following kinds of behavior, all of which are against the Noice rules:
- Engaging in spammy comment behavior, including repetitive or high-frequency messages that are intrusive, untargeted, generated at scale, or generated in an automated fashion that isn’t otherwise allowed
- Repetitive creation or posting of content that solely aims to get a user to go to another platform
- Repetitious posting of low quality content

- Repetitive and disruptive efforts to use platform to solicit for followers/viewers/engagement on other platforms
This list is not exhaustive.
Engaging in behavior that aims to manipulate Noice or other platforms
We do not allow any behavior that attempts to use inauthentic means, including unauthorized automation, to manipulate any aspect of the Noice experience, or that attempts to encourage such behavior on other platforms.

Selling accounts
We do not allow users to sell a Noice account, or to use a Noice account purchased from a third party.
We allow content creators with established channels to enter into commercial agreements with third parties for purposes of licensing or selling and transferring control of their channel. For these purposes, accounts and channels can be treated as separate.
Impersonating others
Your accounts should be representative of you and you alone. We do not allow people to impersonate individuals, organizations, groups or companies.
This includes the following kinds of behavior, all of which are against the Noice rules:
- Creating a channel that uses the real name, likeness or branding of another person to deceive users into believing the channel is run by that person
- Cloning the look of another channel in a way that causes confusion to users about which channel is authentic
- Creating channel or usernames that use character manipulation or concealment to simulate other channel or usernames
- Pretending to be another real person or entity posting or sharing content
- Channels dedicated to reposting another channel’s content with minimal added value
This list is not exhaustive.
If the way a channel or person presents themselves on the platform would cause a reasonable person to be confused as to whether or not they represent the actual source, and if a reasonable person would conclude that they did this intentionally to confuse someone, it is likely to violate this rule.
Operating an account under deceitful pretenses
Accounts should honestly represent their owners and their intent. Anyone on Noice is free to present themselves as they see fit, and to share as much or as little about who they are and what they want as they see fit. However, we do not allow accounts created with the intent to intentionally mislead or cause confusion regarding their affiliation or ownership by external entities or organizations, and which engage in manipulation, disruption or deceit.
This includes the following kinds of behavior, all of which are against the Noice rules:
- Using a fake or fraudulent identity in a way that is disruptive to other users or the platform.
- Pretending to represent a person or entity that does not exist in a way that is disruptive to other users or the platform
- Communicating information in profile details that is misleading or deceitful in relation to the content and behavior of the channel.
This list is not exhaustive.
If the way a channel or person presents themselves on the platform would cause a reasonable person to believe that the fake identity or false intent are real, and if a reasonable person would conclude that this was done intentionally to confuse someone once they learn it is not real, the behavior in question is likely to violate this rule.
