"Credible" doesn't have to come with significant hard evidence, I just have to believe it's likely true. e.g. it's not someone making a fake accusation to game this market or because they think prediction markets are unethical and want to damage their reputation.
Doesn't have to be clinically-diagnosed addiction, just has to be someone losing large amounts of money on Manifold to the point where it's making their life worse, but they kept doing it anyway due to some irrational compulsion.

hey @IsaacKing - this one has been sitting for a while and a few people have pinged so I'm going to resolve No. I haven't seen or heard of anyone with this experience.
A couple users interacting with Manifold for over 10 hours / day for entire months qualifies as seriously damaging gambling addiction to me:

@chrisjbillington clarified these stats exclude API bets, so I still hope Manifold reconsiders their addictive gamification like streaks, leagues, quests, bonuses, etc
not sure how that follows, but opened another limit order if you'd like to fill it
You just cancelled it btw, even the low one
Lies again
@NikitaSkovoroda just lowering the percent of the limit orders, not sure why that warrants personal attacks, they're just potential bets. Feel free to fill it at the lower percentage or not, but Manifold is addictive regardless
@PatMyron I don't consider any bets as problematic - all of those are perfectly fine
I consider commenting not in good faith on non-play markets problematic )
Which is something that you have been doing here and you know it
you can see from our profit graphs that my Manifold usage is more based on many different markets resolving frequently rather than going as all in on specific markets
not sure how anyone would determine I acted in bad faith because I lowered my limit orders? but I am serious about finding Manifold problematic and would like to quit
@NicoDelon Ok. I have been writing the response above before your comment ). I'll refrain from leaving any more comments here today.
I can continue explaining why I see this as an issue, but probably some time later and perhaps not here. Feel free to DM me on Discord if you want to continue this discussion though via an explicit opt-in.
