Resolved
YES

Lately there have been many "free money" markets crowding up the main page. If Manifold enacts some changes with the intent to limit these markets this market will resolve YES.

Otherwise this market resolves NO at close.

Hi @dailyreward, after some deliberation, Manifold has decided to change our community guidelines to prohibit these types of markets (which attempt to systematically re-distribute bonuses). I kindly request that you not create any new markets. (But feel free to keep and resolve all of the markets you've previously created, since they were created before we changed our guidelines.) Sorry for the trouble and thanks in advance for your cooperation.

FWIW I don't think these markets add any value to Manifold, and take up trader attention for no good reason. I would be in favor of banning these, as they're just exploiting current market mechanics (or otherwise changing trader bonus systems/homepage algorithms to make these much less surfaced.)

@Austin I think this would be a good idea and count as a YES resolution.

You can hide the Free Money group - https://manifold.markets/group/free-money/about. It doesn't help new users who don't know about the hide feature though, and it makes Manifold look sketchy, so it would also be reasonable to hide the group from some of the front page categories (mostly the Trending category, I think?).
