Welcome to Robinhood Social!

Robinhood Social is a place to talk about markets, investing, and your own trades with other Robinhood customers. You can share ideas, show your trades, debate, and learn from each other.

These Community Guidelines explain what’s expected of everyone here. They’re a plain-language companion to the Robinhood Social User Agreement and the Robinhood App Use Standards, which also apply to you. If these Guidelines and those documents ever conflict, the Social User Agreement and the Robinhood App Use Standards control.

By using Robinhood Social, you agree to follow these Guidelines.

Strong opinions are welcome. Disagreement is how we all get sharper. But debate the idea, not the person.

Don’t:

• Bully, harass, or abuse anyone, or target individuals or groups.
• Post hateful content that attacks or demeans people based on characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or medical condition.
• Threaten violence or promote it against any person, group, or entity.
• Post sexual content, sexually suggestive language, or sexual references, including slang and innuendo, even as jokes or figures of speech.
• Post graphic, vulgar, defamatory, or otherwise offensive content or imagery.

Do:

• Be civil, even when you strongly disagree.
• Welcome newcomers and different perspectives.
• Use block and unfollow for content you don’t like but that doesn’t break the rules, and report content that does.

Robinhood Social is for talking about markets. It is not for moving them. Content and behavior intended to artificially distort prices, or deceive other investors, have no place here, even when posted as a joke.

Don’t:

• Manipulate the market. That covers pump-and-dump schemes, front running, marking the close, painting the tape, spoofing, and any other attempt to artificially move a price or volume.
• Coordinate trading. Don’t organize, recruit for, or encourage group buying or selling of any asset, such as “everyone buy at 10am” or “let’s all hold until it hits $X.” Concerted trading of any kind isn’t allowed.
• Share inside information. Don’t post material non-public information, or confidential information you don’t have the right to share, about any company, person, or entity.
• Mislead people about a security. Don’t post false or misleading claims about a company, an asset, or market events, and don’t post fake, altered, or fabricated news, filings, screenshots, or data. Don’t claim or hint that you have inside information, special access, or a source at a company, whether or not it’s true.
• Misrepresent your trades. Don’t alter, fabricate, or misrepresent your trade information, gains, losses, or positions.

Do:

• Share your honest opinions, research, and reasoning.
• Say plainly when something is speculation, a rumor, or a guess.
• Disagree, push back, and point out flaws in someone’s thesis.

Robinhood Social is a discussion forum. It is not a copy-trading platform or a place to give or get professional investment advice. Everything here is for personal, non-commercial use.

Don’t:

• Give professional investment advice, or present yourself as a financial professional, advisor or expert offering personalized financial recommendations.
• Promote your outside professional services. That includes newsletters, paid groups, courses, trading signals, advisory services, and other outside professional activity.
• Post spam, marketing, promotions, or paid endorsements. Don’t post content you’ve been paid or otherwise compensated to post, and don’t post sponsored content.
• Solicit money or business from other users.

Remember: Robinhood doesn’t approve, endorse, or verify what users post, and it doesn’t guarantee that any content is accurate, complete, or reliable. Other users’ posts, including their trades, aren’t Robinhood recommendations. Any decision you make based on what you see here is your own, and so is the risk.

Trust depends on knowing that people are who they say they are, and that what they post is real.

Don’t:

• Impersonate anyone. Don’t pretend to be another person, a public figure, a company, or an organization, and don’t falsely suggest you’re affiliated with one.
• Imply you’re affiliated with Robinhood. Don’t use Robinhood’s name, logos, or branding in a way that suggests Robinhood endorses you or that you speak for Robinhood. Don’t use usernames, handles, or profile images that are confusingly similar to Robinhood’s.
• Spread misinformation. Don’t share manipulated or deceptive information or media that could cause harm.
• Post spam, meaning repetitive, unsolicited, or low-quality content meant to disrupt or game the platform.

Don’t:

• Run scams or fraud. Don’t try to deceive or defraud users out of money, assets, or information. That covers phishing, fake giveaways, “guaranteed returns,” romance or investment scams, and social engineering.
• Engage in or promote illegal activity, or violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Promote prohibited items or activities, including illegal drugs, weapons, stolen goods, counterfeit or falsified documents, illegal gambling, pyramid schemes or multi-level marketing, and get-rich-quick schemes.
• Support terrorism or violent extremism, child sexual exploitation, or human trafficking. Robinhood has zero tolerance for these.

Don’t:

• Solicit or share other people’s private information, such as their physical address, email, phone number, account details, or other contact or identifying information, without their permission.
• Overshare your own sensitive information. Never post your account numbers, Social Security number, passwords, login codes, or other sensitive personal or account details. Robinhood will never ask for these on Robinhood Social.
• Post confidential information about any person or entity that you aren’t authorized to share.

About your Trade Information: Sharing your trades is always your choice. If you share a trade, others, including those outside Robinhood Social, may see details such as your username and profile picture, trade time, amount or shares, trade price, open/closed status, whether it was a recurring trade, profit and loss (including year-to-date, 1-year, and 1-day figures), what percentage of your portfolio the trade represents, and engagement stats. Other users can comment on what you share and may post it outside Robinhood Social. Only share what you’re comfortable having seen by others.

Only post content you own or have permission to use. Don’t post content that infringes anyone’s copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, or other proprietary rights.

If you believe content on Robinhood Social infringes your copyright, trademark, or rights in your name, image, or likeness, you can submit a notice through robinhood.com/contact consistent with the requirements in the Social User Agreement. Accounts of repeat infringers may be suspended or terminated.

Robinhood Social is a community of real people, and you may come across content you find inaccurate, offensive, or not to your taste. All content is the responsibility of the user who posted it. Robinhood doesn’t approve, endorse, or verify any opinions or alleged facts posted by users.

Help keep Robinhood Social a good place to be:

• Report posts, comments, or accounts you think break these Guidelines, the Social User Agreement, or Robinhood App Use Standards using the in-app reporting tools (i.e., “Report post” and “report comment” tools on the “...” menu next to every post and comment).
• Block and unfollow users whose content you’d rather not see.
• Contact us about other issues with Robinhood Social at robinhood.com/contact.

Questions or complaints about your brokerage, crypto, or derivatives accounts, or about specific trades, should go through the customer service channels for those accounts.

Content and activity on Robinhood Social may be reviewed by Robinhood moderators, by third-party moderation services, and by automated tools.

If we believe you’ve violated these Guidelines, the Social User Agreement, the Robinhood App Use Standards, and/or any other applicable terms, we may take action at our sole discretion, based on factors like severity and history. That may include:

• Removing your content or preventing it from being posted;
• Issuing a warning;
• Limiting features or your access to Robinhood Social;
• Suspending or terminating your Robinhood Social account; and/or
• Taking other action we consider necessary, including action on your accounts with Robinhood affiliates where their terms allow, and reporting to regulators or law enforcement where appropriate.

Serious violations, such as fraud, market manipulation, threats of violence, child exploitation or any criminal activity may lead to immediate termination without a prior warning.

We may update these Guidelines as Robinhood Social evolves. The most current version will always be available in the Robinhood Disclosure Library and/or Help Center. Continued use of Robinhood Social means you accept the current version.
