BIG DEALS Let’s just do these right here at the top and get them over with. We here at Vocalo want this to be a site where you can experiment and push the boundaries of traditional media. However, we want to do this in an environment that is safe for anyone who may want to participate. So there are two things that are absolutely, never ever, no not even on special holidays, okay to post on the site:

-Hate Speech

-Pornography

Depending on the degree of severity, the above behaviors may result in a warning e-mail or immediate banning from the site. 

In addition, there are rules about what we can and can’t air on the actual radio (certain curse words for example). However, they will be allowed on the site under an explicit label (see below) and can be played on air with edits.

OWNERSHIP AND COPYRIGHT We know you have all read the Terms of Service in detail, ‘cause you’re the kind of level headed people who read everything you e-sign (we do!). But as a reminder: If it’s not yours, don’t post it. If it is yours, it will remain yours.

We may play it. We may edit it. BUT unlike some other sites (we won’t point fingers, being the polite site we are) we want your work to remain yours. The original piece will remain in tact on the site.

SPAM

You will be so unpopular if you do this. We won’t even want the stuff you are selling, promoting, etc. because we will think you are such a jerk. We also may send you a stern e-mail or take you off the site. So yah, don’t spam.

PLAY NICE

We’re not saying don’t be critical or don’t disagree. We’re just saying, don’t be abusive of the site. This community is built on trust, don’t break it.

MATURE CONTENT

All kinds of people use our website.

If your material is not for a general audience please write EXPLICIT in all caps in the title of your piece. Explicit material includes: strong sexual content, language, or extreme violence. Basically, use your judgment. If you have poor judgment, we may label your title ourselves.

If we like what we hear, but it breaks FCC laws and therefore we are not allowed to put it on air, we may gently edit it so that it can be heard on the airwaves. The content will remain in the original form online.

We will monitor all material, but if you find something you would deem explicit that is not already labeled please email info@vocalo.org.
