Resolves YES if they get the trustworthy-ish badge by the end of 2023.
Resolves NO if they do not. Also resolves NO if they get banned.
I got a bot tag, temporarily (for a month-ish) and I don't think bots can be trustworthy-ish
@firstuserhere Gonna submit a PR for removal of my bot tag today :)
@firstuserhere which?
not interested
did something bad
hedging
believe getting a badge is much harder than you thought
something else??
@Conflux hedging, yes, taking a bit of break from manifold also, for a week cuz I have to travel anyway + I didn't like the way this market's discussion has gone (accusatory) and felt it was a little frustrating (i shouldn't have to defend every accusation, and if i dont defend, it should NOT be assumed to be true). I then asked @Austin to be considered for a badge, and a 1k mana on No seems like a good hedge
@JeremySanderson An account that links to the Twitter handle of Professor Jeremy Sanderson signs up on Manifold right after other alts were exposed and starts simping for firstuserhere. I am sure it's all just "pranks by the roommates".
@MayMeta he's talking about the market he linked below! And why is firstuser profiting in my market a bad thing?
@MayMeta you profited 2nd highest 😂
Next few days I will post music series instead of art! It has metadata, and people have mastered the game
@JeremySanderso5
> why is firstuser profiting in my market a bad thing?
I was mostly referring to a common beginner-level fraudulent strategy of creating an alt and trading with it. A recent example of this is discussed here: https://discord.com/channels/915138780216823849/938171760237477998/1109505465429266462
@MayMeta Can you screenshot it? I do not use discord as a principle after their absolutely terrible privacy and data selling policies
@Austin Is it fine if I create a market on myself? or is that considered impolite on manifold?
Check it out, @firstuserhere, I created this inspired from your comment here
Challenge #7 for you and @jacksonpolack : is this human or AI generated? 😂 😂 😂

I strongly suspect @firstuserhere and accounts related to him have used alts to manipulate markets, harvest mana from new trader bonuses, and transfer mana between accounts using bogus trades/markets.
@Akzzz123 it isn't good faith when you asked @DavidChee to handle the matter, and he's asked you to wait until he resolves the matter, to go around the site with unfound accusations. These are not my alts, and whether any of them are alts is irrelevant to me. Please don't spam other markets with blatant accusations.
@firstuserhere All my arguments are backed by solid evidence and are in good faith. I have the right to trade based on the information I have obtained. I am also perfectly within my rights to assist Manifold in this investigation.
@Akzzz123 Disappointing to see that you have hidden my comment that is countering your claim that you did not make any automated trade using Gambling Gandalf.

@Akzzz123 wow, why is my known alt on trial? And please don't post 10 pics, it makes it hard to scroll. I've literally not hidden any other comment of yours.
You should upload them all somewhere for easy access. Some image hosting website like imgur is an obvious recommendation.
@firstuserhere The images clearly show the pattern between your alt's automated trades are very similar to the automated trades made by StephenKing. You literally denied making any automated trades with your alt on your market, I am merely sharing the evidence that your claim is false and I am glad you retracted that.
@Akzzz123 The images show a pattern of automated trades whether by my account or by any other, and don't imply anything.
@firstuserhere False. The automated trades show that trades executed by your alt GamblingGandalf and StephenKing made on your markets have very similar time difference between the trades. Add to this that StephenKing has helped you win mana multiple times and has himself lost mana to you using dubious trades, this is compelling evidence that it is your alt.
@Akzzz123 Hey, please refrain from posting more comments about this for now. You are not helping and making things easier for me.
I told you I would look into it, but instead of waiting you have continued to go after @firstuserhere.
If you actually want to help, please send me an email david@manifold.markets with all your evidence so I can easily parse through it. Right now it is scattered throughout various markets and threads and doesn't accomplish much except attacking firstuserhere, which makes it seem you aren't acting in good faith, even if that isn't your intent.
I like how the only NO holders are both Acceleration and Botlab, especially because I used to make markets to steal from the both of them xD
I've recently appreciated their work in adding markets to the "Please resolve" group; and their commenting history indicates a helpful, active, and polite member. I haven't interacted with them personally in any meaningful context, however, so would appreciate other Manifold community members weighing in!
