Community Rules

Last updated: 25 August 2026

The VetaFinance community exists to discuss companies and ways of valuing them. These rules are short on purpose: read them once and you know what is expected of you.

1. What is expected

Disagree freely — with a thesis, a number, an assumption. Disagreeing is half the value of this place. What is not acceptable is attacking the person instead of the argument.

2. What is not allowed

• Insults, threats, harassment or stalking of any member.
• Hate speech or discrimination based on origin, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability or any other personal characteristic.
• Promoting the purchase or sale of a security with the intention of moving its price, or spreading information about a company that you know to be false.
• Unsolicited advertising, recruitment schemes, or links to scams.
• Posting third parties’ personal data — full names, addresses, contact details, images — without those people’s consent.
• Sexual, violent or illegal content.
• Impersonating another person, the platform, or a licensed professional you are not.

3. What is written here is not advice

Community messages are the opinions of the members who write them. They are not investment recommendations, they are not certified financial analysis, and VetaFinance does not check them before they appear. Responsibility for the decisions you make with your money is yours — as the Risk Notice states.

If you work in the financial sector and write in that capacity, say so. Hiding it misleads the people reading you.

4. What happens when these rules are broken

There is a ladder, applied with whatever proportion the case calls for. Each step is recorded with the reason and the date:

• Warning — recorded, but does not stop you posting.
• 24-hour block — you cannot post for a day. You can still read and use the rest of the platform.
• 7-day block.
• Permanent block from the community.

A block affects only the community: your subscription, your data, your valuations and the rest of the platform keep working. A block does not refund or pause the monthly fee, because it is not the subscription that is being withdrawn.

Serious cases — threats, illegal content, attempted fraud — do not climb the ladder step by step: they go straight to a permanent block, and may be reported to the authorities.

5. Removed content

We may remove content that breaks these rules. We do not review what is posted before it appears, and we do not promise constant monitoring: the platform is run by one person and relies on members’ reports to know what went wrong. The report button is on every message and every post.

6. If you think the decision is wrong

Write to geral@vetafinance.eu, from your account’s email address, saying what happened. Every sanction is recorded with the reason, so there is always something concrete to discuss. If the decision was wrong, it is lifted.

7. Changes to these rules

If these rules change substantively, you will see them again before you post again. You can keep reading the community and using the platform in the meantime.
