Understanding Poaching:
- Poaching refers to the act of aggressively or unethically recruiting creators from other networks or agreements to join another group or platform. This can disrupt the community, affect creator loyalty, and might breach existing contracts.
Why Report Poaching:
- Poaching goes against TikTok's community guidelines and Terms of Service (ToS), which aim to ensure a fair and respectful environment for all users. Reporting such activities helps maintain integrity within the platform's creator ecosystem.
How to Report Poaching:
Collect Evidence:
- Screenshots: If you receive messages or see public posts that suggest poaching, take screenshots. Ensure that these screenshots clearly show the content, the sender's identity, and any relevant date/time stamps.
- Live Recorded Videos: If poaching occurs during your live session or another's public live session, record the video. This can serve as undeniable proof of the interaction.
- Reporting to SDBG Studios Creator Network Management:
- Via App:Navigate to the profile or video where the poaching was evident.
- Tap on the three dots (Share icon).
- Select "Report" and choose an option like "It's inappropriate" or "It's spam or misleading," depending on the nature of the poaching.
- Documentation:
- Keep a record of your reports, including the date, time, and content of what was reported. This can be helpful if you need to escalate the issue or if you're asked for further details by SDBG Studios.
Additional Tips:
Community Support: Encourage other creators to stand against poaching by sharing your experience and the steps you took. A united front can lead to a healthier creator environment.- Follow Up: After reporting, check back periodically for any updates on your report from SDBG Studios. If there's no resolution, consider escalating the matter or seeking advice from community leaders.
Conclusion:
- By reporting poaching and providing clear evidence like screenshots or live recordings, you contribute to a more ethical creator space on TikTok. Remember, everyone benefits from a community where growth is based on talent, innovation, and fair practices rather than aggressive recruitment.
