Should this resolve as YES instead? I'm understanding the ability to delete accounts was been added.

This author's account was deleted, and the market resolved N/A at deletion. It was a silly market to make (I predicted this would happen in the comments)

For others following along, you can now delete your account under the edit profile menu.

@Sinclair What happens to all their old stuff? Profile, bet history, etc.

solid angryposting, not my favorite angrypost ever but it got the point across well and didn't get anyone's pet squirrel killed, good stuff 7/10

I would bet yes on this, but then how would I get my payout...

@jack Maybe they will reassign the market to someone else first?

Or resolve it themselves under their abandoned markets policy.

@IsaacKing yeah, I think this is fairly likely. I was mainly making fun of this spammer

@jack To be clear, being able to delete your account is important, but apparently the Manifold team replied to their email promptly and yet they spammed comments across a ton of markets about it.

I'm not a GDPR expert, but my impression is that it require deletion upon request by contact to the organization. Which this author did at the same time as spamming everyone. I don't see a requirement for an automated account deletion process.

@HieronymusBosch GDPR requires processing within a reasonable timeframe. I'm pretty sure it's greater than 1 day.

Of course, organizations should strive to be as timely as possible. But I don't think a couple days is unreasonable...

Created this market (which I think is an example of a pretty cool resolution procedure):

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/right-to-erasure/ says there is 1 month to respond to a request btw.

As I mentioned above, of course that's just an upper bound and faster is better, but I think a couple days is eminently reasonable...

@HieronymusBosch I'm citing GDPR compliance as a bar for what one should reasonably expect. I can understand the frustration, but deletion procedures are often very tricky for many reasons and can take time.

I would bet most websites with jut a couple hundred users did not have an automated account deletion process until they got much bigger.
