Markets like @Fion's "unlisted profits experiment market" or @alby's "how valuable are listed profits" have begun to pop up. These have been really interesting (no shade to the creators!) but do allow users to essentially trade mana for "profits", as defined by Manifold markets. This could have negative impacts on the legitimacy of Leaderboards and Leagues, and it seems like the whole notion of delisting markets was intended to have the opposite effect.
This market will resolve YES if Manifold adds site rules that ban or restrict the creation of markets with resolution criteria based on listing/unlisting, begin to crack down on the practice of unlisting to game the profit graph, or otherwise significantly regulate how listing and delisting markets works.
(I won't unlist this market)

One simple way for Manifold to handle this kind of markets is to unlist all of them, leaving no way for market creator to unlist conditionally
