Will Manifold remove the ability to extend prediction streaks by placing easily cancelable limit orders by end of 2023?

Resolves Yes if Manifold updates the logic so that unfilled limit orders no longer contribute to a prediction streak. Alternately, would resolve yes if a change is made that removes that mana from a user's account if they later cancel the limit order and didn't make another valid trade in that same day.

Resolves No if placing a limit order continues to extend prediction streaks into 2024, or if Manifold explicitly says they won't do this.

I find it interesting that placing a limit order extends a prediction streak. In a sense, you are becoming a market maker and this makes the market more robust.

At the same time, a user could easily game the system and just place and cancel limit orders every day for free Mana. {{You could create a bot that does this, run it in multiple accounts, then set up a private market designed to funnel all of the winnings into a single account. I won't do it. But you could.}} <- edit: it looks like this is not the case. API trades are handled differently wrt rewards for prediction streaks.

I will be betting on Yes for this. I have no special access to Manifold, but I may submit a support ticket pointing to this market. Let me know in the comments if you view that as problematic.
