Community Guidelines
Comment Guidelines
Manifold supports open discussion. The following types of comments may be hidden, deleted, or result in a ban.
How comment hiding works
Market creators can hide any comment on their own market at their discretion. Hidden comments remain publicly accessible behind a "comment hidden" message — they aren't deleted.
Moderators and admins can also hide or delete comments that violate these guidelines.
What's not allowed
- Spam
- Hateful or discriminatory content directed at a person, group, or user
- Repeated harassment targeting another user
- Content that links to or contains material illegal under US law
- Doxxing — sharing or helping others find someone's private information
- Automated or bot comments that are low-effort, repetitive, or frequently reported may result in a mod alert or temporary posting ban. See Mod Guidelines for how bans work.
- Promoting your own markets in the comments of unrelated markets — don't use other people's markets as a traffic source for your own.
What can get you banned
Any of the above can result in a restriction or ban depending on severity and history. Repeated violations are treated more harshly than first offenses.
To report a comment or user, use the three dots menu (…) on the comment or their profile. See Reporting & feedback for full details.
