guidelines

MNLN is a link-first investment community. The goal is not noise, calls, rooms, or performance theater. Submit useful sources, tag them cleanly, and discuss what the information may mean.

core rule

• Posts must be links. Text-only posts, open-ended forum threads, personal diary posts, and chat-style prompts do not belong here.
• Comments are for discussion of submitted links, tags, and market context.
• Tags are filters, not boards. A ticker page is just a tag page.

links

• Prefer primary sources: filings, regulators, exchanges, company investor relations, official data, and established financial reporting.
• Good links include filings, earnings releases, investor presentations, official statistics, policy documents, exchange notices, serious reporting, and source-backed analysis.
• Do not submit shorteners, referral pages, off-platform chat rooms, signal groups, pump material, lead-capture forms, or low-context promotional pages.
• Submit the original source when possible. If a secondary article is useful, it should add real reporting or interpretation.
• Use the actual title or a clear neutral title. Do not use hype titles, price targets as bait, or claims the source does not support.

tags

• Every post should have one main routing tag such as a ticker, market, or General.
• Other Tags should describe topics, sectors, events, or context. Do not put every mentioned ticker into Other Tags unless it is central to the link.
• Ticker tags may be checked against external market data. Verification can fail; that does not always mean the ticker is invalid.
• For Korean listings, use suffixes when known, such as 005930.KS or 000660.KS.
• Do not create duplicate tags for the same thing. Use one spelling and ask for cleanup if tags drift.

comments

• Comments are plain text discussion. External links must be submitted as posts.
• Post authors may mark one of their own comments as the author summary. Use it to explain why the link matters, not to turn the post into a text essay.
• Say what you think changed, what the source actually supports, and what uncertainty remains.
• Good comments add context, counterarguments, accounting details, policy nuance, market structure, or falsifiable reasoning.
• Bad comments are ticker chanting, price spam, vague cheerleading, personal attacks, political bait, copy-paste promotion, or “join my room” language.
• Disagree with the claim, not the person. Strong disagreement is fine; harassment is not.
• State uncertainty. MNLN discussion is not investment advice.

profiles

• Bios are optional, short, plain text context. They are not a place for links, contact handles, chat rooms, or promotion.

edits and deletes

• Authors may edit post titles and tags. Post URLs are locked after submission.
• Posts can be deleted by the author only before comments arrive.
• Comments can be edited or deleted by their author. Deleted comments with replies may remain as [deleted] placeholders so threads still make sense.
• Edits and deletes may be logged for abuse prevention and moderation integrity.

voting and karma

• Vote for signal, not agreement. Useful opposing views should not be buried just because they are inconvenient.
• Karma and trust limits exist to slow abuse, not to create status games.
• Downvotes affect other users and are intentionally harder to unlock.

moderation

• Spam, manipulation, ban evasion, undisclosed promotion, and off-platform solicitation may be removed or collapsed.
• Suspicious comments may be collapsed without a public warning label.
• Accounts that repeatedly promote chat rooms, signal groups, referral links, or pump language may be banned.
• Moderation favors preserving useful market discussion while removing behavior that makes the site less trustworthy.

source warnings

The submit form may show a quiet note for domains outside the usual source list. It does not block submission; many useful links will be outside the list.
