Unable to set specific accounts to ignore (it is fine for Manifold to not ban even hardcore Putin supporters like Enopoletus Harding - but every time I see his avatar with Z placed there to support Russian invasion, I prefer to leave site)

This market is a poll! Write down your answer and vote on others' responses.
This market will resolve to the proportion of votes each answer receives over the course of the week. To vote, reply to an answer and write "+1" as the first two characters in your post. You can vote once per answer on as many answers as you like. The proposer of an answer cannot vote on their answer (this will help make it easier for me to tally everything up once the market closes).
Please limit your answers to current bugs and features on the Manifold platform today, i.e. "Elon Musk still hasn't joined" or "Prediction markets are a form of gambling" would not be valid answers.

@MP Prior to June 1, bets weren't public, so visiting their profile won't show you everything. Here's a big market from before then: https://manifold.markets/Duncan/will-russia-invade-ukraine-before-t
As for the weekly leaderboard, are you using the All and Profit filters?
@MP The overall leaderboard does include unrealized gains/losses on unresolved markets, not just closed ones. It doesn't include purchased mana, tips, manalinks, etc I believe.

@agentydragon +1 would prefer option to launch with 10-20 (illiquid but can grow if active)

Cannot “offer to sell” existing shares with limit orders (from @Gigacasting)
@jack it's much less easy to purchase the wrong number of shares if you are just operating in the same asset the whole time. This also feels like a discontinuity between scalar and free response markets, so it feels more like two entirely separate systems
