Pillargram Regulations (Curator Instructions & Platform Criteria)

Pillargram sets strict regulations for its curators (music professionals, bloggers, and influencers) to ensure high-quality feedback and discourage dishonest practices. These regulations include a five-day deadline for responses and a strict no-tolerance policy on deceptive listening practices. Curators who breach these standards risk having their profiles deactivated.

Essential Guidelines for Pillargram Curators

5-Day Turnaround Time

Curators need to review submitted tracks and give feedback within 5 days. Should they not respond promptly, the artist will be refunded automatically, and the curator’s rating might suffer consequences.

Quality Evaluation

Feedback should be truthful, helpful, and specific, clearly outlining the reasons a track is being supported or not shared.

No Duplicate Feedback

The use of generic or copied feedback multiple times is not allowed. Taking such actions could lead to penalties or decreased visibility.

No Outside Payments or Services

Curators may not solicit payment or endorse external services, platforms, or monetization options in their feedback.

No Deceptive Behavior

The use of bots, fake followers, artificially generated streams, or manipulated listening behavior (such as playlist inflation) results in an instant ban.

Mandated Measure

If a curator commits to a task (such as adding a playlist, a feature, or a review), they must fulfill it as promised.

Application & Assessment

Curators need to apply to join Pillargram and are chosen based on their influence, editorial standards, and musical vision.

Profile Authenticity

Curators must maintain their profiles accurately and up to date, including musical tastes and appropriate background details.

Validation & Verification

Pillargram consistently evaluates the quality of curator feedback. Artists can also evaluate feedback, contributing to the maintenance of platform standards and accountability.

Causes for Prohibition

According to Pillargram’s strict zero-tolerance policy, curator accounts can be permanently deleted for:

• Neglecting to reply to critical messages from the Pillargram team
• Providing or requesting compensated services externally
• Repeatedly providing poor or copied-and-pasted feedback.
• Not delivering on promised shares.
• Using illegal methods (bots, fake streams) to increase playlist numbers.
