This question resolves YES if at any point this year, Manifold states in public (e.g. in "Above the fold", or on the about page) that assassination markets and similar are subject to removal.
Jun 21, 4:53pm: I've realized the resolution of this market may end up being ambiguous. I've sold all my shares (at a loss) and will not be trading any more here, so that my position doesn't bias the resolution.

Well, nobody's cared to do anything about this question for a while:

@Undox If manifold admins clarify that assassination markets are always inappropriate, I think I would count that as a positive resolution of this question. A visible pattern of removing assassination markets, though, won't count unless it's confirmed publicly. Seem reasonable?
(I've sold my shares because my position was causing me to want the resolution rules to be a certain thing.)
While I wish it weren't so, this seems like it might be strategically necessary as more people come on and we get more bad actors. I'm against this rule if it's possible to avoid it. Nevertheless, I'm betting YES since I'm not sure what alternative there will be once the first negative news article hits.
