Some markets suffer from nonexistent, poorly defined or ambiguous resolution modalities, causing drama and trouble.

In the market creation process, there currently is a "Description" field, but it is optional. There is no direct incentive for the creator to provide any criteria for resolution.

Resolution criteria:

• Resolves Yes if there is a mandatory textfield (or similar) on the market creation screen, with the purpose of making the creator provide criteria for resolution

• Resolves Yes if an existing textfield is extended or altered for the purpose of making it mandatory for the creator to provide criteria for resolution

• Resolves Yes if the market creation process is altered in any way in order to make it mandatory for the creator to provide criteria for resolution

• Needs to affect all users, not just new users

• Needs to affect all question tiers

• Something along the lines of "Please provide criteria" in an optional textfield does not suffice, it needs to be mandatory

• It doesn't matter whether the exact phrases "resolution" and/or "criteria" are used, as long as the effect is sufficiently close to asking the creator for their resolution criteria

• There are many ways the above criteria might miss the market's intent due to technicalities, thus: This will resolve to the market's intent according to my best judgement

• Update 2025-06-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified the following regarding resolution:

  • The change must be in effect on 2025-09-09.

  • The market will not resolve early; resolution will be based on the status on this date.
