Mark Ingraham is a user who has been trolling Manifold for the past few weeks by posting intentionally controversial or confusing markets and comments. They've been "testing" the ability of Manifold to ban them, by creating a new account every time their old one is banned.
Accounts that appear to be Mark include:
Probably a few more too, let me know any I missed and I'll add them.
This resolves to YES if at the end of May I haven't seen any activity by any account that seems likely to be Mark within the past 2 weeks.

I am putting everything into my inflation bet on the may CPI with Chris. If that fails I will go negative and leave. Chris is a coward and is putting a small fraction of his wealth in, despite literally working for the government department that calculates the CPI.
Regardless of whether I leave, capitalism will collapse and all my predictions will be correct.

If that account looks like Mark this market is guaranteed to resolve NO.
@Mira Yeah I agree that this is probably a Mark Ingraham sock.
I found some more socks too:
@firstuserhere Oh and here are some more:
@Schwabilismus I already found EjeEisis on May 1 (which was three weeks ago!). But also I agree that this is pretty much a guaranteed NO at the point.
@MartinRandall which platform doesn't have trolls? I think the communities on most platforms do more (via moderation for ex) to manage trolls than the admins of any site. I don't really get what you're trying to say ig
@firstuserhere it's common for returning banned users to have all their content deleted or hidden, for example.
Making markets about banned users is feeding too.
@MartinRandall gotcha!
I endorse this now that you've mentioned it. Much of Mark's content, including markets, should be deleted
