Community Guidelines

These rules apply to every podcast, episode, live room, profile, clip, chat message and direct message on Fortify Cast. Last updated May 2026.

Our principles

Fortify Cast is a home for genuine creators and the people who listen to them. We want bold conversations, honest opinions and real community — and we want everyone to feel safe. The rules below protect that.

Content that is not allowed

• Hate speech. Content that attacks or dehumanizes people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, caste or any other protected characteristic.
• Harassment and threats. Targeted abuse, stalking, doxxing, credible threats of violence or coordinated pile-ons.
• Sexual or adult content. Pornography, sexually explicit audio and any sexual content involving minors. Child safety violations are reported to authorities.
• Graphic violence and self-harm. Glorification of violence, suicide or self-harm. We promote safety resources where relevant.
• Illegal activity. Promotion of illegal drugs, weapons sales, human trafficking, fraud, hacking or other unlawful conduct.
• Harmful misinformation. Deliberately false claims about elections, public health emergencies or safety topics likely to cause real-world damage.
• Copyright infringement. Uploading music, audio, cover art or other content you don't own or have a license for.
• Spam, scams, impersonation. Misleading promotion, fake giveaways, phishing, or pretending to be a person or organization you are not.

Live broadcast rules

Live audio carries the same rules as published episodes, plus: hosts are responsible for moderating their own rooms; don't bring guests on stage you believe will violate guidelines; don't play copyrighted music; don't share other people's private information.

Copyright and DMCA

If you believe content on Fortify Cast infringes your copyright, send a notice to copyright@fortifycast.com with: identification of the work, the URL of the infringing content, your contact information, and a good-faith statement that you are the rights holder. We respond to valid notices promptly.

How we moderate

We combine user reports, automated signals and human review. Enforcement actions may include warnings, removing content, restricting features (live, chat, gifting, DMs), removing shows or recordings, suspending the account, or — for severe violations — reporting to law enforcement.

How to report

Anyone can report. In the app, open the show, episode, profile or live room and use the report option, or write to trust@fortifycast.com with a link and a short description.
