Will Manifold allow market creators to noticeably prohibit themselves from trading on their own markets?

Question

There have been multiple markets where the creator has incorrectly resolved their market for profit - most infamously Mr Stone and most recently Alex

In addition, it is difficult to ignore the profit incentive for even the most honorable market creators. Your judgment is simply less trustworthy

As such, it is totally rational to distrust markets where there is a profit incentive for the creator

As a market creator, I'd like the ability to increase my credibility by selecting a toggle in my market regarding whether I can bet in it - and for it to be clear to traders whether I can or not

This also eliminates the need for a lot of caveats that I and other market creators will sometimes provide

Discussed in this feature request post.

Market closes by end of 2025.
