Final Evaluation Results

Valuations: 1000, 400, 400

Median Valuation: 400.0

Eliza: The overall impact of his moderation actions over the last few months has been incredibly positive for users who wanted to bring attention to markets. He bans spam users and resolves closed markets. He helps ask creators for clarification. He resolved many hundreds (!!!) of markets during the end of year resolution period. This project definitely had a DIRECT impact.

Tod Waddington: FWIW, I see this $400 as recognising some of the "excess effort" above other mods, particularly over the new year.

I think it'd be unfair to some of the others to give more, especially when there were a lot of other contributors and many others who would gladly help out if we modded them.

Austin: I encouraged SirCryptomind to apply for the community fund after hearing his personal story. While I'm sad that we couldn't bring him onto our team for the role he was seeking, I'd like to retroactively award him this amount as thanks for the moderation work he's put in. I think asking people to resolve markets is unglamorous work but helpful to traders, and I appreciate that he's poured out a lot of his own time into helping out others.

Thank you!

I'm a bit confused about this proposal. Are you looking for retroactive funding as compensation for past site moderation? To my knowledge the community fund is not continuing so I'm not sure how you would expect to gain investors for future work. Are you claiming that you'll stop the vast majority of your moderation if this is not filled? I think some context would be helpful.

@wasabipesto for some context, SirCryptomind was asking whether Manifold could hire him for his moderation work; while we didn't want to bring on an ongoing, fulltime paid position for this at the moment, I encouraged him to submit an entry for retroactive funding for his mod work as part of the Community Fund. The community fund hasn't paid out our third round yet and I expect SirCryptomind's work to fall within scope for this.
