Explanation: For many markets the market creator could have insider knowledge or can rug pull the market by resolving dishonestly. When the market creator could disable betting on the market for himself (on market creation, displayed publicly). This would become harder to do. Example: https://manifold.markets/MilliOnaire/will-i-work-for-manifold-markets-be This market resolves "YES" when such an option is added or when the market closes and the feature is announced. Otherwise it resolves "NO" on close.

I don't think that public bets is solving this issue right now

Changed my mind, seems like it's easy to have a norm around this. I don't feel the option proposed on this market is necessary

(Though i'd still like to be able to make a binding promise somehow)

I think this conflicts with the initial 50% probability on markets.

Eliciting insider knowledge is a feature not a bug

more in favor of just public bets on your own markets

For free response markets the creator should probably be allowed to add responses.

I think public bets might accomplish the goals here, and there's some movement towards that (at least as default) that might reduce motivation for this feature.
