charity is back

@strutheo it is interesting but just encouraging people to burn mana for counterfactually ~0 effect. I am not spending a single mana on that.

Should be much lower but I can’t afford to bet it down

@Jack1 why

also is this what you were asking for a loan for...

@Bayesian Announcing awful changes without thought. Like a balance cap on loans which would ruin limit orders. (Reversed) . Stupid 20% a year loan idea. Not fixing mana being lost when liquidity applied. Allowing cheats to worsen the site for months. Not allowing liquidity removal on multi choice markets.

@Bayesian no, I only just saw this market. That loan would be for investing in ranked markets and making sure I have mana to repay other loans.

DMs ARE BACK, MANIFOLD IS BACK

@strutheo can we put in the nuke of DM's to the notes

@strutheo we’re keeping you hot, I think you might have to add them putting DM’s back

RIP DMs

I guess they changed their minds

Its been longer without sweepstakes than with sweepstakes

@strutheo we're about due another pivot

@strutheo Can you add the " @evan event" as one of the markings on this market

@JeromeHPowell feel like it should've gone up after evan since they handled it really well

Nothing happened today! Praise the Great Leadership!

I think the league prizes (and/or promotion thresholds) are in need of significant adjustment. Right now, coming second in Diamond is worse than coming 6th, because it sentences you to win no prize next month (effectively). Coming 1st is acceptable because the prize is big enough to cancel out a wasted month, but there's only 80 mana between 2nd and 3rd, but one lets you stay in a league with less competition and one doesn't.

TL;DR the current structure incentivises coming 3rd over coming 2nd.

@Fion Agreed! Coming 11th in Masters also sucks: Zero mana prize, but doomed to spend another month in Masters.

@ian Can you give mods the power to delete forum posts? the optimal amount of ads for uganda hotel high paying jobs is in fact zero

@FergusArgyll and a report button

@FergusArgyll mods can unlist them, which is basically like deleting them

@ian oh good! I guess the bots just post often enough that I see spam before mods have a chance to clean up.

Maybe a 3 day waiting period before a new user can post a forum post?

@FergusArgyll they'll just create a market

@ian But for me at least I explore markets by hot / best or by searching for a specific keyword / topic. On forum I want to see the newest posts. No spam / marketing question will ever rise to hot & probably won't surface due to my query.
