Resolves NO

predicted YES

if they ask people for the age (to display it on the person's profile), but don't enforce it / don't verify the truth of the statement / someone can say they're 130 years old or 99 years old or 5 years old without issue, does that resolve as YES or NO?

predicted YES

@TheBayesian That does not count; most people feel at least some urge to be honest.

predicted YES

@IsaacKing To be clear you’re saying that scenario would resolve to NO? so by the YES resolution are you mostly pointing at the possibility that adding an age to your profile is optional?

predicted YES

@TheBayesian No, that scenario does not result in any resolution to this market.

This market can only resolve YES if a policy is implemented that bans publicly mentioning your age at all.

predicted YES

@IsaacKing oh I see, thanks!

That would be insanely permissive of abuse

@BeachFgz How so?

predicted NO

@IsaacKing it would allow minors to engage in sexual relationships with adults without any way of the site knowing. I think we all agree that's bad

@BeachFgz I don't agree that's bad, no. And how would it do that anyway? Someone can already choose not to mention their age and get into such a relationship.

predicted NO

@IsaacKing I think adults engaging with minors sexually is bad, actually.

@IsaacKing WHAT???
