@IsaacKing @MichaelWheatley @AmmonLam -- as prominent NO holders, do you have any serious reservations about conferring the trustworthy-ish badge on Wobbles?
(if you'd prefer not to comment publicly I'd also really appreciate a Discord DM)
@AllanLacy I meant Ammon as they're a trustworthyish user, but happy to hear your thoughts too!
I mean, I'd like to hear @AllanLacy's thoughts. I don't think the trustworthyish badge should count for a lot in decisions of who should be made trustworthyish; that can lead to a very insular/gatekeepey dynamic. How the general community feels about that person seems more important.
@IsaacKing i don't think @Wobbles is an untrustworthy manifold user. The comments that @IsaacKing made below, if true, somewhat suggest that the badge is not deserved.
I don't know exactly how all the rest of trustworthy badges were awarded, but I feel giving Wobbles one will soon result in everyone wanting one (and feeling they deserve one). I guess this would be my biggest position against the badge.
@Austin Wobbles is currently spamming the poll channel in the discord where we're trying to decide on the new resolution criteria for the WvM market. That channel has very clear instructions of "please do not post anything in here unless it's a directly related poll", and Wobbles is posting meaningless trolling nonsense there anyway.
Also created an alternate Discord account and claimed it was a friend they went to school with in order to manipulate this market.
Recent actions which have endeared Wobbles to me (wrt qualification for trustworthy-ish badge):
Changing their name from DesTiny to Wobbles
Sponsoring the MTG tournament on Manifold
@NicoDelon I would disagree. The @ is still the same which is all that's mentioned in the market
@DesTiny I know, but at the time both were identical, and part of the problem has been that your username was deceptive.
@NicoDelon Note that this is different from saying you shouldn’t get the badge. Only that if you get it this question should not resolve to YES.
@NicoDelon ? I'm not sure I understand, the @ even links directly to my account. Maybe your argument would have merit if it just said "DesTiny" but that is still my @.
@DesTiny For most of the time people have bet on this question they took DesTiny and @DesTiny to mean the same thing. You’ve now changed your name, addressing some of the worries people had with misleading users. But betting was done on the premise that your username was misleading. I don’t think it’s fair to say Wobbles getting a badge means the same thing as DesTiny getting a badge. @s be damned.
@NicoDelon I know you disagree and apparently fail to understand, but I’ll dispute a positive resolution. Someone known as DesTiny (@DesTiny) shouldn’t get a badge even if someone known as Wobbles (@DesTiny) could. Same reference, different meaning.
@NicoDelon I'm almost 100% sure that the market creator and most people who bet on this market took the market as referring to the person not just the name. If @Yev were to change his name to DesTiny should it resolve yes? No, that's because it not referring to the name DesTiny, but me as a person
@NicoDelon that market description is clearer, even though it’s been altered after betting had started. https://manifold.markets/SirCryptomind/will-destiny-get-their-trustworthyi?r=Tmljb0RlbG9u
@Yev shouldnt change the description for this one. It’s too late.
@NicoDelon Nico it’s ok to accept that this market might resolve yes. I understand you strongly dislike me, and for some valid reasons. Though I find this a little much my friend
@DesTiny I accept that it might though I’ll dispute it if it does. I can’t dislike you since I have no idea who you are. Any feelings I have are directed towards a dumb pfp!
@IsaacKing Of all the people invested in this your assumptions are the least relevant to me.
@NicoDelon Luckily you're not the market creator, which is the person my comment was intended for.
@IsaacKing Since you replied to my comment I was assuming otherwise. Thanks for clarifying your confusing comment.
@NicoDelon I think we should all just be friends. Though I do believe you have a nonsensical opinion that is fueled by your hatred of me, I think if it wasn't for that ur chill. I apologize for any aggression on my part, but we've gotta all be friendly
@NicoDelon just kidding, I ABSOLUTELY EXTREMELY DISLIKE YOU, WHY DO YOU COME AFTER ME EVERY GODDAMN OPPORTUNITY YOU GET, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME LOSE MY MARBLES
@DesTiny It's all just for fun. I'm trying to collect mana for charity. Some of your tricks have prevented me from doing so but other than that we're just messing around IMO. I draw a line at Blink 182 though.
@NicoDelon I might have to resolve my hate market if you don't stop this Blink-182 slander
@DesTiny so, I could bet heavily on YES on that market and keep slandering Blink 182 to make mana. Thanks for the tip!
@NicoDelon no, to quote Mark Hoppus: "Shut the fuck up...I'm going fucking deaf." Blink-182 is a godsend my friend
@DesTiny Sorry, no. I tried listening to one of their songs yesterday and now my ears are bleeding.
@NicoDelon I interpreted this market to be about the user then named DesTiny, whether or not they change their name - it's the same user, so it would count.
