This one surprised me actually - I haven't seen any spam for the last several days. I wonder if there was actually a reduction, or just luck based on when I was checking for new markets

<1h left 👀

Just to be clear, I didn't forget about this market or anything, the current total is still 6

Current total is up to 6 👀

Kinda sad I said I wouldn't bet on this myself because I think I know which way it's gonna go

not seen any spam in the past couple of days!

"Does manifold have an SEO spam problem?" — I think it does

"will resolve as YES if I encounter more than 10 spam markets in my casual usage of Manifold" — depends heavily what is your casual usage of Manifold.

yup - it's hard to quantify what my usage looks like but my profile page might be informative

I have been wondering why the links are dofollow on most markets but nofollow on others (unlisted ones presumably). Manifold should probably make links nofollow by default (perhaps until the market becomes popular, like Reddit does).

Also wondering: are those bot submissions? Is someone in the black hat SEO-sphere curating a list of sites where dofollow links can be posted?

@lukres Manifold uses a bunch of filters for actions that only spam accounts make (like making a market but never betting) to try to guess whether an account is spam.

I see many more than that, but I'm also a mod so 🤷
