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

3.00@mattyb What is/are PP? Basically, if I can create a normal (public, listed) Yes/No market like this one, without the UI telling me to provide resolution criteria, this resolves No.
@Primer Prize Point markets, ones where you can earn real money. Afaik, our markets could only be promoted to that state, not created thusly, but assuming that changes, would it need to be both types, or either one?
