Creator Risk Control

Overview

This tutorial helps ForeGate Creators identify, understand, and prevent the most common risks in prediction markets, including content violations, result disputes, financial losses, and public opinion backlash. Risk control is essential not just for your own income stability, but also for long-term user trust and platform integrity.

1. Topic Violations & Compliance Risks

❗ Common Issues:

Prediction markets involving violence, self-harm, terrorism, or hate speech.

Political interference (e.g., election manipulation).

Criminal proceedings or minor-related content.

Use of insider information, market manipulation, or promoting scams.

✅ Prevention Tips:

Stick to public, verifiable topics (e.g., sports, entertainment, elections with media coverage).

Avoid markets involving individual harm or sensitive personal data.

Don’t reference private legal cases or ongoing criminal trials.

Review “ForeGate Creator Terms” before opening.

When in doubt, ask the ForeGate Mod Team for pre-review.

2. Result Disputes & Ambiguous Settlements

❗ Common Issues:

Confusing or undefined settlement criteria.

Referencing sources that later conflict.

Using vague words like “likely,” “soon,” “popular.”

✅ Prevention Tips:

Define clear YES/NO resolution logic and trusted sources (e.g., “will be reported by [Reuters/BBC/FIFA]”).

Include timestamp cutoffs (e.g., “by July 31, 2025 at 23:59 UTC”).

Avoid subjective terms unless tied to a measurable outcome.

Always simulate: “If I were a user, would I understand how this resolves?”

Refer to platform templates when available.

3. Liquidity Pot Losses & Financial Exposure

❗ Common Issues:

Launching markets with unbalanced odds.

Launching markets with no community engagement.

Ignore the impact of large betting users (whale users).

✅ Prevention Tips:

Start with small initial liquidity; test community appetite first.

Open a market with similar odds for “YES” and “NO”

Avoid biasing the outcome too strongly if you’re uncertain.

Monitor trades early – adjust if there's one-sided betting.

4. Public Opinion Crises & Reputation Damage

❗ Common Issues:

Creating offensive or poorly timed markets (e.g., on recent tragedies).

Ignoring community feedback or acting arrogant in replies.

Appearing manipulative or insensitive (e.g., “I made money off [X disaster]”).

✅ Prevention Tips:

Think twice before opening “edgy” markets — consider the social context.

Join the Creator Discord to test ideas with peers.

Monitoring user feedback — exit the market early if sentiment turns.

Be transparent when explaining your intent; authenticity wins.

Apologize and settle fairly if you make a mistake.

If you encounter the above problems and cannot solve them, please do not operate on your own. Please contact ForeGate official customer service staff for help.

Creator Violations & Penalties

To protect platform integrity and user trust, ForeGate enforces the following rules for creators:

Failure to Resolve on Time: If the creator does not give an outcome within 24 hours after the market closes, the settlement will be forced according to the market price. Repeated delays will result in suspension or ban.

Wrong or Manipulative Results: Deliberately resolving markets against facts or using misleading sources can lead to fund confiscation, a 30-day or permanent ban.

Market Manipulation & Self-Profit: Creators exploiting users through unfair market design or insider actions may face market shutdowns, fund freezes, and permanent removal.

Prohibited Topics: Markets involving violence, scams, personal attacks, or illegal content will be removed. Creators will be permanently banned.

Ignoring Community Backlash: Refusing to fix misleading or offensive markets despite strong user feedback can result in market suspension and temporary bans.

ForeGate reserves the right to:

Pause or cancel markets under dispute.

Freeze creator funds during review.

Correction unclear outcomes through internal arbitration.
