Closed because this is a long-term market which is not well supported by current Manifold mechanics.

what if the badge said "supporter", "sponsor", or "sub"?

I don't think paying money makes one trustworthy. Unless there's some kind of terribly overcomplicated escrow or real money penalty or something. No, better to consider these things orthogonal.

@Sinclair that would resolve the market yes, "actual text not important".

Paying money means that if the account is banned for spam or other violations of terms then there is a financial penalty of losing the money paid. For fiat money there's also a link to a real life identity.

Not great but also not nothing. This becomes more important as AI gets better at imitating humans.

ah I failed to read >.<

@Sinclair Relatable. Also, it says "actual text not important," but what about the badge? Must it actually have a check? What if it has two lines going across it or something?
