I've seen a few arguments about whether or not GIFs should be allowed as pfp because they can be annoying to look at, though increased customization is good.

Resolves as follows based on this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6RM6YN5

(you must have a share on the market at close or I won't count your vote)

I think you should have made it clear you were going to resolve to PROB. You asked a yes/no question, the result of the survey was majority in favour of "no" (I assume), so the survey concluded that GIF profile pictures should not be allowed, so the market should have resolved NO.

I'm not saying it's wrong to have a market like this resolve to PROB; just that it's not the default assumption so it should be made clear.

I bought NO at 25% because I believed with >75% confidence that the survey would be majority NO. I did not think I was betting on the result of the survey being less than 25%.

I think it's more about slowing the site down than about looking annoying, though idk. Mine is a gif, but doesn't move much, so i hope it's not as annoying!

predictedYES

WEEWOOWEEWOO ANNOUCNMENT. I'M VERY DUMB AND DIDNT REALIZE YOU NEEDED PREMIUM TO SEE MORE THAN 10 RESPONSES ON THE SURVEY, I WILL TRY AND FIX THIS

predictedYES

@DesTiny Ok I've decided that spending $100 for a month of premium is not worth it, does anyone have any suggestions???

@DesTiny google forms?

predictedYES

@prigoryan yeah idk why I didnt do that

@DesTiny where's the google forms link?

predictedYES
predictedYES

Ok the survey seems to be working 👍

predictedYES

@DesTiny I'll show results at market close, also you must have a share on the market for your vote to count

predictedYES

@DesTiny And if you put mana on this before I changed it to a survey, and lost mana because of that dm me for a refund though I don't think anyone cares all that much

predictedYES

OK SINCE A PERSON FROM EACH SIDE HAS AGREED TO SWITCH TO A POLL I WILL BE DOING THAT

predictedYES

@DesTiny Also tell me if it works

@SirCryptomind @Zion @Renz @higherLEVELING @MaggieDelano @DanStoyell @cosmicsnorlax Would you guys be ok with me using a survey so the market can't get sniped?

predictedYES

@DesTiny explain what sniped means and why survey will protect against it and who benefits. i think understand but i just want clarity on it.

predictedYES

@higherLEVELING So the way this market currently resolves is whether it's above 50% or not. One person can easily sway the market in whichever way is more profitable right at the end of the market. This tends to make these markets stay close to 50% even if public opinion is otherwise. If I changed it to resolve to the results of a survey it would give everyone the same amount of power through one vote instead of whoever has the most money. It wouldn't inherently help anyone, other than me (because I would like accurate responses).

predictedYES

@DesTiny oh okay. i'm fine with the survey

predictedNO

@DesTiny makes sense

predictedNO

Personally I hate gif avatars. Not only are they distracting and annoying, they tend to make me nauseous. Just my opinion on them.
