FLAM Radio Content Policy

Moderation-first rules for submissions, broadcasting, and promotion

General notice. These documents are provided for information purposes and do not constitute legal advice. For advice tailored to your situation, consult a qualified attorney in South Africa.

Last updated: 4 May 2026

This Content Policy applies to FLAM Radio, operated by FLAM Tunes (Pty) Ltd (registration number 2026/493327/07) t/a FLAM Records, and governs what we accept for review, what we broadcast, and what we promote across social media. We operate as a moderation-first platform and do not assume submitters are honest.

1. Core principles

  • Creator accountability: you remain responsible for rights ownership and the accuracy of your submission.
  • Complete AI disclosure: new intake requires creation provenance, originality answers, and individual declarations.
  • Safety over speed: all submissions are reviewed; we may delay, reject, or remove content.
  • No “copyright verified” claims: approval is not a guarantee of clearance or platform safety.
  • Suno commercial-use rules: free/trial Suno downloads cannot be submitted for commercial streaming; paid declarations remain subject to moderation.

2. Prohibited content (non-exhaustive)

Copyright / infringement

  • Reuploads of commercially released songs you do not control.
  • Unauthorized covers where you cannot demonstrate permission/rights.
  • Use of copyrighted stems, samples, acapellas, or source recordings without permission.
  • Metadata designed to mislead (e.g. listing a famous artist as the creator).

Impersonation / deception

  • Fake artist identities or pretending to be a known person or brand.
  • “Sound exactly like” or deceptive imitation intended to confuse listeners or platforms.
  • Celebrity voice cloning or unauthorized voice replication.

Platform safety

  • Hate speech, extremist content, or content that targets protected groups.
  • Harassment, threats, doxxing, or incitement of violence.
  • Illegal content or instructions encouraging wrongdoing.
  • Spam submissions, automated flooding, or attempts to bypass moderation.

3. Explicit content

Explicit content must be declared accurately. We may restrict explicit tracks to broadcast-only status and prohibit promotion on certain platforms even if broadcast is allowed.

4. Promotion safety labels

Moderators can label tracks for safe social usage:

  • Safe For Promotion: eligible for TikTok/YouTube/IG promo (still not a guarantee).
  • Broadcast Only: may be streamed on radio but not used in social promotion.
  • Needs Review: hold until additional checks are done.
  • High Risk: likely to trigger platform enforcement or claims; typically rejected or disabled.

5. Enforcement

  • We may reject, remove, or disable content at any time.
  • We may request proof of rights, identity, or generation provenance.
  • We may mark a creator as probationary and reduce rotation or promotional use.

6. Reporting violations
