Resolved
YES

Browse the new markets and you'll find a bunch of obvious spam.

I will consider it fixed if by end of day the first 50 new markets include at most 2 spam markets. (I may take some time to resolve.)

Note that, even if this market resolves to YES, I will not resolve the related markets with a later closing date immediately. The issue has to have been sustainably fixed until then.

@tb148 I just checked the list of the 50 most recent markets created before 6/27, 23:59pm EST and couldn’t find a single spam market. If someone has evidence that there were still at least two spam markets at midnight but they were later deleted, let me know. Having checked all day I’d be surprised (the older spam markets haven’t even been deleted). Barely any new spam markets appeared throughout the day into the evening.

@NicoDelon Let me add that this doesn’t mean the issue has been fixed for the purpose of the other two markets. It seems fine this morning but it may occur again.

I think it comes in waves, and is cyclical with the time of day. I think it tends to be worse in the morning (EST)

I wouldn’t call it new, but it has perhaps gotten worse

@JimHays I’ve never seen as many at once. Most of the new markets at this moment are spam.
