I'm blocked from making contributions, what happened?

Musixmatch blocks an account from submitting new contributions after receiving reports against lyrics that account submitted. The block is not random: it follows one or more of these issues in your past submissions.

1. Offensive content that has nothing to do with the actual lyrics of the song.

2. Self-promotion inside a lyrics contribution, such as adding a social media handle.

3. Lyrics copied and pasted from a completely different song.

4. Political, religious, or otherwise personal messages that are not part of the actual lyrics.

5. Repeatedly saving tracks without making the required contribution.

What happens after a block

If you are a regular contributor, the block stops you from submitting future contributions.

If you are a Curator or Specialist, the block is wider: you lose the ability to submit any contribution, including missions, and Musixmatch cancels your next reward.

How to avoid a block

Read the writing guidelines and follow them on every contribution. Musixmatch checks new lyrics against the five issues listed above.

What to do if you think the block was a mistake

If you believe you've been incorrectly blocked, reach out to a moderator on the Community Slack Workspace and describe your case. Nobody can guarantee a reversal, but we'll investigate your case and do what we can to reassure you of its circumstances.
