How producers treat each other here

A collaboration marketplace runs on whether people answer, credit fairly and finish what they start. These are the norms — most of them are measured, and some are enforced.

There is no ColabLoop forum or chat server yet. The conversations that matter happen inside collaborations, and we would rather run one of those well than a half-empty Discord. When there is somewhere to join, it will be at the top of this page.

The norms6

  • Answer, even when the answer is no

    Your response rate is measured from your real activity over the last 90 days and shown on your profile and beside every loop you publish. A declined request costs you nothing; silence is the only thing that shows up badly, because silence is what wastes the other person's fortnight.

  • Close your door rather than going quiet

    If you're deep in something else, switch off “available for collaboration” on your account. Your profile will say so and people will stop asking. That is a far better outcome for everyone than an inbox you're not reading.

  • Be specific when you ask

    “Let's work” gets ignored everywhere, including here. Say what you heard in the loop, what you'd add, and what you've done before. The producer on the other end is deciding how to spend their week.

  • Agree the split before the track is finished

    Completion requires agreement from both collaborators, so this is not optional — but do it early and honestly rather than at the last moment. The awkward conversation is much smaller before the record exists than after.

  • Credit people properly

    Use the legal names and IPI details exchanged inside your collaboration when you register the split. Getting someone's publishing wrong is not a small administrative error for them.

  • Upload only what you made

    Every loop is checked against commercial releases before it goes live, and you confirm three things when you publish: it's yours, it's not AI-generated, and it's not copyrighted material. Those confirmations are on the record.

When someone doesn't

  • Loops that fail the copyright check are rejected automatically, and the upload returns to your quota.
  • Loops the check can't decide on are held until a person has reviewed them.
  • Accounts that misuse contact details exchanged in a collaboration, or that claim a selling profile that isn't theirs, are removed.
  • Verification can be withdrawn. It was given by a person and it can be taken back by one.
