Manifold states they’re removing the DM feature on January 9th. Around March 9th, I will run a poll asking if DM removal was a good idea or use an alternate polling method if one can be generally agreed to be superior.

I will not bet in this market.

If DMs stay available, this will N/A.

Resolves N/A!

@Velaris they backed down

@AhronMaline I skimmed through the post again and the title says “canceled” but I don’t actually see it being called out as canceled in a message?

sold Ṁ300 YES

Could you resolve it to a percentage?

@Velaris I could! Why do you think that a superior resolution mechanism?

@JohnSmithb9be Because it would represent more precisely how unpopular it was. Of course, I also believe that because it has the potential to make me profit.

@Velaris at least he is honest about his motivations, unlike all the spammers on the top markets :)

@creator I feel that making a poll possibly creates a situation where this is not a fully accurate assessment. I would bet this up to around 97, but then people will opt out and probably not answer honestly in the poll. Do you think you could resolve the sentiment you see publicly/asking people not in this market, if not i totally understand.

Respectfully that just has the same problem, but without the ease of legibility of a poll. People can type whatever makes them the most mana regardless of if it’s a poll or not. I would be open to alternative resolutions in principle.

@JohnSmithb9be Very true, I proposed a bad solution, but I hope you see my broader point. I still enjoy this markret and I think the overwhelming anti-nuke-the-dm's movement will still make this resolve yes

@JeromeHPowell Yeah, if a better alternative comes up I’m happy to implement it.

bought Ṁ1,000 YES

Obvious yes bet, and I'm against removing them, but also I don't think this market gives it a fair evaluation. The poll should be in the future, after people have at least a little chance to see how the new approach works.

@EvanDaniel yes, the poll is called for March 9?

@AhronMaline apparently I'm just bad at reading this morning. Thanks for the correction!
