Rules and FAQ

DJ Rules

  1. We only allow EDM (Electronic Dance Music). What is EDM? For info, click here
  2. The song length limit is 10 minutes. Anything longer than this will be automatically skipped.
  3. Playing mixes is not allowed. This means videos that play several songs sequentially. Here is an example. Mashups and remixes are allowed to be played.
  4. Songs that are on the history can not be played. You can check the song history by clicking the history icon at the top right of the room.
  5. If you are on the waitlist, we ask that you are active and involved with the community by chatting with us.
  6. Changing the title of a song or making it misleading is not allowed.
  7. Keep the videos appropriate and safe for work (SFW). NSFW content includes: nudity, gore, sexual or graphically violent content.
  8. Do not play “troll” songs. They will be skipped and you may be kicked from the waitlist or the room.
  9. You are encouraged to play your own songs, but we request that you do not play more than three of your own tracks in a single week. They can be 3 different tracks you can play in a week or 1 single track you play 3 times in a week. This rule also applies to channel promoters. We reserve the right to skip/kick those who we feel are taking advantage of our community in order to boost channel views.
  10. Nightcore and Bassboost are not allowed, as those do not respect the artist’s original point of view on their piece.

Using Tastybot’s !opcheck command will show you how often a song has been played the past day/week/month. If your song that is currently playing fits the criteria below, staff will be allowed to lockskip or skip it.

• A song that has already been played once today should be avoided being played again.

• A song that has been played 3 times this week is not allowed to be played.

• A song that has been played 10 times this month is not allowed to be played.

Chat Rules

  1. Do not ask for skips. If you do not like a song meh and mute it!
  2. Do not ask to be promoted. Ranks are to be earned!
  3. If people want to be your friend they will add you to their friends list themselves, do not bother them by asking for it.
  4. Do not ask for Gifts, people will gift you if they feel like it.
  5. Do not promote or share links for other communities in chat.
  6. You can only post promotion links to the artist that you are playing while you are in the DJ booth (max. twice) or when someone personally requests them.
  7. Keep your negative attitude and complaints to yourself. Remember to be respectful towards all members of the community. If someone is being rude to you, mention it to a moderator so that they can deal with it.
  8. Spamming and trolling is not tolerated in chat.
  9. You are not allowed to post NSFW material into chat.
  10. When we are in joinmode, type !join in chat if you wish to be added to the waitlist.
  11. Auto-reply and auto-chat scripts are not allowed. If you are going AFK feel free to use Tastybot’s !afk command.
  12. You’re more than welcome to help out new users in our community, but when it comes to actual moderating, please leave it to the staff team :) Mini-modding is not tolerated.
  13. If you join the room with a name that is rude/inappropriate or contains a URL, staff will remove you from the community.
  14. Remember to use common sense in the chat but also have fun!
  15. If you ever have any questions or need help, don’t be afraid to ask the staff. We are more than happy to help!

FAQs

Advertisement, eh?

I want to advertise myself to get new followers.

• We have some strict rules when it comes to self-advertisement and promotion of other communities. You can’t promote another community within our tastycat chat ever. This will result in a ban from the community.

• You may only self-advertise whilst you are in the DJ-booth, or when other people request this of you. Please don’t overdo self-promotion even if you are in the DJ-booth.

Do I have to chat?

I have to go for a while will I get kicked if I don’t chat?

• If you are not in the waitlist you don’t have to worry about being removed from our community. If you are in the waitlist we would prefer if you were active and interacted with the community.

• We don’t consider wooting, mehing and grabbing songs as non-AFK activity. We remove AFK users from the waitlist to give active ones a chance to dj. It’s not fair on others if the waitlist is full of inactive users.

• Commands don’t count as activity, since Tastybot deletes those messages.

• Setting up an !afk message won’t prevent you from being removed, you will still get warned, and still need to chat.

Banned, now what?

I have been banned from Tastycat and I don’t know why. How do I get unbanned?

Staff may ban a user that has:

• Continuously broken the room rules despite being warned.

• Has done something serious such as posting a NSFW link into chat.

If you feel you have been wrongly banned by one of our staff, you can send us a message on Discord.

We will do our best to respond to your ban appeal as soon as we are able to do so!

How to get the black cat?

I want to have the black cat skin that other people have, can I?

• The black cat skin is for this community’s staff only. It only works in this community. We are partnered with Wavez so we have custom skins. Please refrain from asking staff as we do not give staff to people who ask or for this.

DJ History

Can I see which songs have played earlier in the day?

• You can check the song history by clicking the history icon at the top right of the room.

How can I be the DJ?

I want to be the DJ and play a song I have selected but I don’t know how.

• To join the wait list, click the Join queue button. We can’t add you to the wait list.

• When we are in Event mode, type !join in chat. Everyone who uses the command is added in order when the event ends. You only need to use it once.

• On Lottery Day, you need to win the Lottery to join the wait list. Stay active in the chat to have a chance to win.

• Just remember to be patient if you are waiting to join the waitlist! There are plenty of other users trying to do the same thing as you so it may take a while to join.

How do points/exp work?

How do I gain XP?

• You gain XP from Woots, DJ plays and listening in rooms, up to a daily limit (resets at midnight UTC). Chatting does not earn XP. More info on XP here: https://wavez.fm/faq#earn-xp

How to become staff?

There is one important rule if you want to become staff and that is DO NOT ask to become staff.

I have good music and want to become a RDJ, how?

• If you want to become an RDJ show us what you’ve got by playing your own music. Be careful though that you do not overplay your own music! If a staff member is starting to like your music there is a chance that you will be nominated for RDJ, although it is not only about the music you make it’s also about your behavior within our community. Remember: Rome wasn’t built within a day. Getting RDJ is not an instant achievement, patience is the key.

How do I become a bouncer?

• Our staff team is always on the look-out for helpful and friendly users that have the best interest in our community. Once we see these traits in you and think that you’ve got what it takes to become a bouncer within our community we will approach you, not the other way around.

How do I become a manager?

• The hosts/co-hosts are the ones to decide when it’s time to promote a new manager. This rarely occurs.

People getting moved up the waitlist?

Why are people getting moved up the waitlist?

Tastybot will add and move users up the list when:

• Someone has used the !dc command to get their spot on the waitlist back after disconnecting.

• Users that have won the hourly lottery and have accepted it by using the !accept command will be added and boosted up the waitlist.

• Wait List Buddies are moved together when they’re both on the wait list.

• A Resident DJ has requested to be boosted to play a WIP or a new track they have made (this is a privilege that RDJs of the room have).
