Best Practices

If you think there should be a change, comment with a market about it. The market must resolve to N/A and must close with 50% probability at the end of each month. If it gets >=10 traders and is >=55% after a week, I will modify this post.

1. Operating a market

1a. Self-participation

  1. You are allowed to participate in your own markets unless you say otherwise

  2. You are allowed to correct a market before resolving it

1b. Resolution methods

  1. Don't make markets that explicitly resolve to round(probability). Always include a significant chance of manual intervention, or you will get outcomes like

  2. If you mean for a market to be "has x occurred by close", make sure to specify "by close". Better yet, be explicit and say "end of the month", "end of the year", "on <date>"

2. Bot Operations

2a. General Principles

  2. Bot operators are allowed to transfer mana between their accounts

3. Betting Principles

4. Commenting Principles

4a. Ettiquette

  1. Use spoiler tags when discussing sports, televised events, competitions, or fiction that came out recently. "Recently" will vary by medium, usually longer if it takes longer to get through or goes longer between releases
