Seems sussy for Manifold staff to trade on markets when real money is on the line and we have the final say on how to resolve it.

If mods have a position we usually ask them to defer to another mod if someone is needed to step in.

If there is a company policy/the founders decide that certain employees cannot trade then it will resolve accordingly.

If no policy is created/when pushed the founders don't want to ban any particular staff from trading then it will resolve to "all will keep trading", UNLESS someone commits to not trade (in which case this market will close and stay closed for 6 months and resolve if they uphold that commitment for 6 months). For example, I feel quite strongly that I shouldn't trade as the one usually with the final say in the niche, complex situations. Then again, trading is fun and I would like to find a responsible way to still do it to a small extent.
