How to fix it

Remove return promises and sign-up links; keep it educational and balanced about risk.

Good to know

Forex or crypto signal groups, 'guaranteed' returns, payday or instant loans with links or codes. Does NOT count: general financial education and information about financial products (explicitly allowed). Fraudulent schemes fall under “Scams, get-rich-quick schemes or MLM recruiting”.
