@mods why did you ban the creator, i’m not complaining I’m just wondering why.

@JeromeHPowell I'm not the one who banned but anybody showing up and blatantly saying "let's break the rules" and "mods aren't allowed" for the first thing they ever did... kinda screams shitter

@Stralor @mods THIS WAS NOT MY MARKET. @RynaJarme IS NOT MY ALT.

The woke left is framing things on me, but I am an innocent man.

(No but seriously though, this is not my market or my alt)

@freerealDonaldTrump we know that.

don't ban dodge.

@Stralor Fine, but gimme some credit for my goated username and display name

❌ it's on brand but there's nothing goated about it, it's pretty cliché

missed opportunity for a money pump smh

Since it seems some folks need a reminder, the community guidelines can be found here:
https://manifoldmarkets.notion.site/Guidance-for-running-a-market-8cb4257ed3644ec9a1d6cc6c705f7c77

mod intervention is frowned upon

lol

@Ziddletwix ?

@JeromeHPowell this is against many different rules. e.g.,

Feel free to use the API for any purpose you'd like. There is a rate limit of 500 requests per minute per IP.

Markets that could incentivise mass trading/commenting (eg. will this market have 10,000 trades) that could lead to substantial server costs.

it is spam. please stop immediately, and do not do anything remotely like this again.

i have temp banned @realDonaldTrump for 1 day as a temporary fix. that's not intended as the final say on if further punishment is necessary or etc, i'm just stopping this before any actual harm is done.

while this is also against the letter of the rules, do not waste time trying to circumvent the exact wording, what matters is their spirit. if you are unsure what is/isn't against the community guidelines, please ask on the discord first. further spam or poor behavior is much more likely to escalate into permanent suspension.

@Ziddletwix While we’re at it, I’ll point out that their username is in violation of community guidelines

cmon, it's obviously a joke, also it's impossible to verify everyone

@JeromeHPowell Does Manifold see itself as the kind of site that might attract well-known users? Allowing this behavior seems to me a tacit admission that Manifold does not expect to become the kind of place that will one day have well-known politicians, celebrities, etc. as users

And you don’t have to verify *everyone* to deal with verifying the active users who choose both a name and profile picture of someone famous.

@JimHays do you genuinely think this site will have a lot of celebrity users in the next 10 years, or 1 million years for that matter.

@JeromeHPowell also even if it did attract celebrities people like Trump and JP would not be allowed because of the huge counter-intelligence threat of them betting, and also like who cares?

@JimHays because sooooo many people on Manifold would believe that I am actually Jerome Powell and you seem so incredibly concerned I have changed it to (not) Jerome Powell in solidarity with @notrealDonaldTrump

@traders the trades be tradin’
