Discovery and initial screening
HF Signal watches selected public forum sections for new discussions. Duplicate, empty, unusually long, suspicious, or high-risk titles are held for additional review and are not automatically promoted.
Editorial review
An authorized reviewer checks the title, source, author attribution, link, caption, and generated media. The reviewer can edit, skip, flag, or approve all eligible connected destinations together.
The consolidated approval is available only after the visibility, interaction, disclosure, rights, and consent choices required by TikTok are completed. It never bypasses those choices.
Rights and attribution
HF Signal links to the original public discussion and identifies the source. Reviewers must confirm that media is original or that permission exists before publishing it through a connected creator account.
HF Signal does not remove creator watermarks or use TikTok publishing to distribute media carrying promotional watermarks, logos, or embedded advertising links.
Corrections and reports
Questions, rights concerns, correction requests, and deletion requests can be submitted through the Support page. A connected account can also revoke HF Signal from its platform settings at any time.
Independence
HF Signal is an independent HFTools.org service. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by HackForums, TikTok, or any other connected platform.
