Community Guidelines
Manifold keeps moderation minimal and trusts you to act in good faith. These guidelines protect the quality of the platform, not micromanage it.
Last updated: May 2026
Short Version
- Be excellent to each other.
- Don't exploit bonuses, bugs, or loopholes — especially on your own markets.
- Resolve honestly and promptly.
- Report bugs in #bugs on Discord. Report security issues or exploits privately to info@manifold.markets — don't act on them first.
- These are guidelines, not a contract. Act in good faith, not just within the letter of the rules.

Note
These are guidelines, not rules. They don't cover every situation and aren't ironclad. Good participation means understanding the spirit of these norms, not just the letter. You may face consequences for behaviour that goes against the general expectation even if it's not explicitly listed.
