Community guidelines

getquin is a platform for discussing investments and financial topics. Our goal is to build a community where users can share knowledge, learn from one another, and engage in constructive discussions about the markets—in a factual, respectful, and collaborative manner.

These guidelines help keep the feed organized, helpful, and secure.

Relevance and Scope

Content should focus on investments, financial markets, or corporate developments. Discussions on market mechanisms, investment psychology, or corporate ethics are expressly welcome.

The following are not relevant—and therefore not permitted:

  • Inhalte ohne Bezug zu Finanz- oder Anlagefragen

  • Allgemeine ideologische oder weltanschauliche Debatten

  • Werbung für persönliche Finanz-Apps, -Programme, Newsletter oder Coachings

  • Werbung für andere soziale Netzwerke, Discord-Server, Telegram-Gruppen oder externe Kanäle

Political content

Political topics are welcome if they are directly related to financial and investment issues—such as tax policy, regulation, monetary policy, sanctions, ESG, or the economic impact of political decisions.

Party political campaigning, ideological debates unrelated to the market, and personal attacks, hate speech, discrimination, or exclusion are not permitted. Objective, fact-based criticism, on the other hand, is expressly encouraged.

Rule of thumb: If the post could just as easily be posted on a general political forum, it doesn't belong in the getquin feed.

Market manipulation and misleading content

As a regulated platform for investors, we take the integrity of our content very seriously. In particular, the following are prohibited:

  • Coordinated manipulation of individual securities (“pump and dump”), including coordinated calls to buy or sell

  • Falsified or forged portfolio screenshots, performance records, or account statements

  • Deliberately misleading price forecasts or fabricated insider information

  • The dissemination of false information about companies, issuers, or market participants

Violations in this area may result in immediate, permanent suspension—without prior warning.

AI-generated content

AI-generated content is generally permitted. However, users remain fully responsible for the accuracy and quality of the content.

The following are not permitted:

  • AI-generated mass posts or automated posts to increase reach

  • Information that is deliberately false or manipulated, regardless of whether it comes from a human or an AI

  • AI-generated "analyses" with no discernible original contribution, presented as personal research

We recommend disclosing the use of AI when a post is substantially based on AI-generated content.

Investment advice, advertising, and incentive programs

At getquin, investment advice in the regulatory sense is provided exclusively through the products and channels designated for that purpose—not via the community feed. Posts by other users that mention stocks, ETFs, or other financial instruments represent personal opinions and do not constitute a recommendation in the regulatory sense.

Referral links and advertising:

  • Referral links to brokers, banks, or other financial products may only be shared in response to a direct request from other users—not in your own posts or unsolicited in comments

  • Unsolicited advertising and sponsored content that has not been approved by getquin are not permitted

  • The deliberate exploitation of referral programs, "Friends Refer Friends" campaigns, getquin Coins, or other incentive schemes is prohibited

Community behaviour guidelines

We expect everyone to treat each other with respect. The following are prohibited:

  • Trolling, provocations, and the deliberate disruption of discussions

  • Insults, harassment, or personal attacks

  • Doxxing and the publication of other users' private information without their consent

  • Circumventing technical restrictions or penalties, such as by creating multiple accounts

Support, Complaints, and Bug Reports

This feed is for discussing investments—not for technical support.

The following content is not permitted in posts or comments and will be removed immediately:

  • Support requests and account issues

  • Complaints about getquin, specific features, or employees

  • Bug reports and technical error messages

  • Feature requests and product feedback

The quickest way to reach us regarding these issues is via [email protected] or the in-app chat—that’s where they’re actually handled, unlike in the feed.

Moderation, Sanctions, and Appeals

Violations of these guidelines may result in content being removed, its reach being restricted, or accounts being suspended. We follow the following tiered approach:

  1. Notice or warning for minor or first-time violations

  2. Temporary suspension (typically 7–30 days) for repeated or more serious violations

  3. Permanent suspension for repeated or particularly serious violations, especially in cases of market manipulation, doxxing, or circumvention of previously imposed suspensions

Serious violations may result in immediate suspension even without prior warning.

Temporary restrictions following the removal of a post: If a post or comment is removed by moderators due to a violation of the rules, the ability to post new content and comment will be temporarily restricted. The duration of this restriction increases with the number of violations. This gives users the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the guidelines before posting further content.

Appeals: You can appeal sanctions by emailing [email protected]. We strive to process appeals within 5 business days.
