eg If there is a question over 2 years will users want to be able to get others help them improve resolution criteria etc.

Wow, you guys bid this down all the way to 2%! I guess you are right though.
I think having a way to check your long term questions with others can be helpful. It's definitely hard to get them right initially. And collaboratively editing a question would be really cool!
But I also think that editing the description or even the question itself after the fact (which is now possible and wasn't when this market was created IIRC) is a pretty good way of dealing with new details that come up, or suggestions from traders. It's the agile way, haha.
It's true that some traders could be upset with rules changes, but that just means they shouldn't have bet before that aspect was clarified. If someone does a sufficiently bad job at editing their question, people will stop trading in their markets.
Anyway, I haven't heard of this being a problem so far. It's possible that as time goes on this could become more of an issue (though I don't think that's likely?).
I'm not 100% sure on the resolution timing (if only that were collaboratively edited to be made precise!!), but the way I interpret it is this could resolve NO now because loans have been implemented and I haven't said we need an alternate question approval process. Cheers.
@JamesGrugett So while I will likely resolve no, I'd like to push back briefly. The ability to edit not just the resolution criteria (I can't remember if that was allowed when we talked) but also the question itself (which wasn't) is a big deal. Regardless of how this question literally resolves, the spirit of the discussion (as I recall it) was that there should be a way for users to give feedback on questions in a way that can change change them. I'm not gonna say that's happend, but it's like 20% happened.
@NathanpmYoung Eg in a perfect world I think I'd resolve this at say 15%. But in this one I think that will annoy everyone.
@NathanpmYoung Yeah I would think anything not resolved NO would be a mis-resolution imo.
My two cents: The question says "alternate approval process" for markets with loans. We have one editing capability for all questions, it isn't an approval process, and it has absolutely nothing to do with loans.
My opinion since the beginning on this market was that drafting/revision features should be thought of completely independently of loans. I asked previously for clarification on whether it had to relate to loans to resolve YES - my reading of the question (which says "alternate") was that it did.
