Hello Everyone,
Our Trust & Safety team is continually working to fight against spam, but sometimes we can't catch it all. There are routines & methods in place to spot fake or spam accounts soon, but it can sometimes take a moment. With your help we'll have a better chance!
You can "Block and Report" any account you suspect to be a fake, or spam account. You will see the option to block an account at the top right of their profile. Please note you must be on a computer, not a mobile device, to use this feature.
When blocking an account you will also be given the option to remove reposts, likes and comments made by that person on your account. However, please keep in mind that all profiles are public and accounts you have blocked will still be able to view your profile and listen to your sounds.
Please block these users rather then reporting them here on the Help Community. This way your reports get directly through to the Trust & Safety team.
Thanks & all the best
Mathis & Jonathan

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Fake accounts ruining SoundCloud.
As anyone who has used SC for some time now knows, there is a glaring problem of fake accounts popping up. These are often composed of a boobs/face shot of a sexy woman named something like "Cherry Blast-Bass". After these people have gained enough followers by religiously following every profile they come across, they then switch their user name and picture to some lame excuse of a handle that actually happens to be them. We are then inundated with terrible tracks from what we once thought were beautiful women. Now it is standard that 50% of the people who follow you are bots or fake accounts simply self promoting. There barely is a glimmer of the original sound cloud which once existed. Please fix this shit, asap.

I want to contact soundcloud about a few minor issues - firstly, I wanted to report a user for spamming (leaving links to a porn website) in messages - secondly, I have an ongoing issue with the downloads feature: Downloads are disabled on all my tracks (by default) yet users have downloaded tracks. Please help. Thanks.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Why are there so many bots following me?.
There are a lot of fake accounts following me and it is kind of annoying. I don't want these fake followers. I don't want people to think I'm buying followers, because I'm not.

I'm not going to spend hours reporting all the fake accounts.

Hello there.
Recently there's been a blast of random fake accounts commenting random stuff on my tracks, liking, reposting... All at random. I keep blocking these people, but they are endless. I do hope Soundcloud team do something about this. If someone is to leave a like on my track, or a comment, I'd prefer to be a legit person who actually likes my music, not bots. Check this picture out, see what I'm talking about...
You can very easily spot who is a bot. They have a name generator which is very obvious and the comments they write make absolutely no sense...

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Rape threats?.
Since when did Soundcloud become a place where people from Europe and South America post rape threats on new sounds, and Soundcloud makes it impossible to disable comments?
I pay for Soundcloud Pro, I use it for rehearsal tapes for a choir. I shouldn't have to wait for people to pounce on my new sounds to then block them because they are saying they want to "rape my face" or screw me in Paris.

Hello there,
My sincere apologies about this, I can absolutely understand how this is frustrating! I've reported this to our Trust & Safety team already, and they let me know they're interested in more details around this (e.g., the URL of the user(s) from which such comments are coming from, the track on which such a comment was, etc.) to investigate further. Please send them a direct email.
Apart from that, please read the original post on this conversation for further context on Spam accounts in general.
Lastly, since you are on a Pro subscription, you might want to enable quiet mode on your tracks.
Hope this helps.
All the best
Mathis
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled What's up with all these bullshit comments to my uploads?.
I'm posting primarily solo guitar music and am getting bullshit, nonsequitor comments that are almost Rumsfeldian in their patent absurdity. A type of poetry, almost. But it's weird. The commentors clearly aren't listening to the music, so what do they hope to gain by such posts as those that follow. I don't think I've gotten a single legit comment. Not that I am sad about that, but this is confusing to me. Can anyone shed any light? Thanks.
They amuse me so much I feel like sharing them all:
to by byl jiny vylet??
obviously! When I hit the lotto in less than a year we can go everywhere ??
I wanna go to one like that when I go to Miami look into that
En hier naar emigreren ????
The waters so clear
ca aussi ca sera pour nous !
Get a tan on our pasty bodiess ???
Bana uyar huzuru bulalim

Can we go?? Can we can we?
fully on it ????
Proteas in the Beautifuldestinations!!!!
Romantic those swans gorgeous
Llevameee ????????
Woah?! Hadlok ko! Haha
What's the point of posting things like this, which are obviously not in relation to the music?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Bizzaro spammy Comments on last few tracks. Help!.
I'm getting a bunch of weird, random, and nonsensical comments on the last few tracks I posted. Such as "Gorgeous shot! Wish we had this when we were there" and "this is where we got married" ?!?! They don't seem like spam, but definitely seems like robots. Never happened on older tracks. What's going on here?

This is so shameful.
Look at the amount of spam I get on my profile just from uploading one song???
Looking through everybody's profiles, there's just spam littered on each profile.
Somebody at soundcloud do something about this. THIS IS TOO MUCH.
