We believe users should have autonomy over their own markets as much as possible. Our philosophy is to keep moderation to a minimum and empower users with tools to control the content that they want to see. That being said, our site is still small and we need guidelines in place as our product changes.

<aside> 💡 Note that these are guidelines, not rules. They are not written to cover every possible situation, nor are they ironclad. Good participation in the Manifold community includes getting a sense of the prevailing norms. You may be punished for behaviour which we deem goes against our general expectation.

General expectations

• Users strive to be excellent to one another.
• Users don’t take advantage of bonuses and other free mana sources we provide.
• Users don’t maliciously take advantage of ambiguity, loopholes, and technicalities, to benefit themselves. This is especially true if it is to the detriment of others or if they are the market creator.
• Users privately report any bugs, mana hacks, and security concerns to a dev asap.
