Community Guidelines

Last updated August 2026

TUFF MIDI works because producers share ideas other producers can build on. These guidelines describe how we expect that to happen. They are part of our Terms of Service — breaking them can lead to content removal or account termination.

1. Uploading MIDI

Do

  • Upload MIDI you created yourself, or that you have the rights to share.
  • Describe files honestly: correct MIDI type, format, genre, key and BPM.
  • Use clear titles and tags so other producers can actually find your work.

Don't

  • Upload MIDI transcribed or extracted from copyrighted songs you do not own.
  • Upload content taken from paid MIDI packs, sample libraries or another producer's profile.
  • Re-upload someone else's MIDI as your own, including lightly edited versions.
  • Spam the platform with duplicates, empty files or keyword-stuffed uploads.
  • Use titles, tags or artwork designed to impersonate an artist, label or brand.

2. Comments and interaction

Keep feedback about the music. Not allowed:

  • Harassment, threats, stalking or targeted pile-ons.
  • Hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or similar characteristics.
  • Sexual content involving minors — this results in immediate removal and reporting to the authorities.
  • Doxxing or posting anyone's private information.
  • Scams, phishing, malware links or off-platform payment schemes.
  • Repetitive self-promotion or unsolicited advertising in comments.

3. Accounts

  • One person, one account — do not run networks of accounts to inflate downloads or favourites.
  • Do not manipulate metrics, rankings or search results by any automated or coordinated means.
  • Do not scrape, bulk-download or resell content from the platform.
  • Do not share your login or sell your account.

4. Reporting problems

If you see content that breaks these guidelines, report it from the file or comment, or email [SUPPORT EMAIL]. For copyright issues use our Copyright & DMCA Policy, which has its own formal process.

5. How moderation works

We may review reported content and, at our discretion, remove content, hide it from search, restrict features, or suspend or terminate accounts. Serious cases — such as illegal content — may be actioned immediately and without prior notice.

We aim to be proportionate: a first minor breach usually means removal and a warning, while repeated or serious breaches lead to termination. If you believe a moderation decision was wrong, contact [SUPPORT EMAIL] and we will review it.
