Forum rules

The TMIYC forum is where traders compare notes, rip apart strategies, and argue about macro. It's useful because it's honest — please help keep it that way.

Hard rules (instant ban, no warning)

No shilling shitcoins, pump-and-dump tips, or paid signal groups. We have a marketplace for paid content; use it.
No doxxing, harassment, or threats. Including DMs sent from the forum profile page — we log and investigate those too.
No illegal stuff. Market manipulation, exchange insider info, sanctions-evasion how-tos, stolen data — out.
No referral spam. Posting your own ref link in a reply to attract signups gets the post deleted and your affiliate code disabled. Put it in your profile bio instead.

Soft rules (warn → delete → temp ban → perma ban)

One shill-your-thing post per week, max. Self-promotion is fine; flooding the front page isn't.
No AI-generated slop. If we catch the obvious GPT "certainly! here are 5 bullet points" pattern, the post goes.
English or Russian only. Any post, any category. Machine-translated content is fine if the translation is good.
Cite your numbers. "BTC went 10% last week" is fine. "This strategy returned 400%" without a screenshot or live Bot Link is not.
Stay in the right category. Macro posts in the strategy category get moved, not deleted — please help the mods by picking the right one up front.

Paid / promoted posts

Authors with a marketplace strategy can attach a promoted pin to one post per category per month for a small fee (paid in platform credits). The pin is disclosed with a clear badge; we don't do hidden ads.

Moderation

Moderators are volunteer users, vetted for at least 6 months of forum activity and a clean history. They can hide posts, lock topics, and issue warnings; bans require admin approval.

If a moderator's decision feels wrong, reply to the mod DM you received or open a support ticket. Do not escalate in a public thread — it just doubles the drama and rarely changes the outcome.

Good trades & good debate. Have fun.
