Community Guidelines

Last updated: June 2026 · Applies to all posts, comments, and messages on Binde

Binde is a place for collectors to share what they love, connect with others who share their passion, and build something genuine together. These guidelines exist to keep that space safe and welcoming for everyone.

Capitalized terms used in these Guidelines (such as "Safe Spot," "Safe Swap," "Public," and "Discover") have the meanings given in our Terms of Service.

Binde is strictly for users 13 and older. If you're between 13 and 17 ("Minor Users"), your parent or guardian must review and consent to your use of Binde — including messaging, trading, and posting — before you use it. See our Terms of Service for details.

What Binde is for

Sharing your collection
Add cards, show off your binder, share recent pulls, and celebrate milestones. This is the heart of Binde.
Genuine conversation
Comment on other collectors' finds, ask questions, trade talk, give and receive feedback — keep it real and constructive.
Trading and discovering collectors
Mark cards available for trade or sale, browse the Discover feed to find collectors near you, and arrange safe in-person swaps in a public, well-trafficked Safe Spot (see our Terms of Service for the definition). Keep listings honest and accurate. Trading and selling always requires location services and a collector within about 250 miles of you, even between people who follow each other. Discover-based trading additionally requires a Public profile — but mutual followers can still trade directly regardless of privacy setting. Binde is built for local, community-based trading, not online commerce.
Building community
Follow people whose collections inspire you. Hype up a great pull. Share knowledge about sets, rarity, and grading.

What's not allowed

Harassment and bullying
Don't target, demean, or repeatedly antagonize other users — in posts, comments, or messages. Disagreements are fine; personal attacks are not.
Hate speech and discrimination
Content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic is strictly prohibited.
Spam and misleading content
Don't post repetitive content, fake prices, fabricated grades, or anything designed to mislead other collectors. Listings must accurately represent the card being sold.
Explicit or graphic content
Binde is used by collectors of all ages. Keep images, language, and discussion appropriate for a general audience.
Privacy violations
Don't post personal information about other people without their consent — including addresses, phone numbers, or private messages.
Fraud and scams
Misrepresenting cards for sale — fake grades, wrong editions, counterfeit cards — will result in immediate removal and may be reported to relevant authorities.
Unsafe trade arrangements
When arranging in-person trades, always choose a Safe Spot — a public, well-lit, populated location during normal business hours. Do not pressure other users to meet in private or unverified locations. Binde is not responsible for what happens outside the App, but we take reports of unsafe behavior seriously.

How we enforce these guidelines

1
Report Any post, comment, or message can be reported directly in the App using the ⋯ menu or 🚩 button. All reports go to our review queue.
2
Review Automated safety filters may flag content for a faster first pass, but a human member of our team reviews every report before any action is taken — not solely an automated or AI system. Context matters — we look at the full picture before taking action.
3
Action Depending on severity, we may remove content, issue a warning, restrict posting, or permanently remove an account. Serious violations result in immediate removal. If your account is banned for a safety or conduct violation, any remaining time on a paid plan is forfeited and is not refunded.
4
Block You can block any user by visiting their profile and selecting "Block" — this is done from their profile, not your own. Blocking removes the follow relationship and hides their content from your feed immediately, but does not restrict their own access to their profile or account.

Our commitment to you

We take these guidelines seriously and apply them consistently. We will never tolerate harassment, hate, or fraud on Binde.

If you feel unsafe or are experiencing an issue that needs immediate attention, contact us at evanmarkleybinde1@gmail.com. We respond to all safety-related messages within 24 hours.
