Dedicated Email Routing for Market Notifications

I am writing to request a feature regarding how email notifications are managed. Currently, notifications about markets going live are sent to the primary email address affiliated with my account. Because my primary address is a student account used for official and important correspondence, the high volume of market alerts is cluttering my inbox and creating a lot of spam. Would it be possible to implement an option that allows users to link a secondary, dedicated email address specifically for market-related notifications? Having the ability to route these alerts away from my main inbox would greatly improve the user experience and help keep official communications organized. Thank you for your time and consideration of this feature.

Integrity Issue: Exploitation of Resolved Markets & Proposed Fixes

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious loophole currently being exploited in the prediction market competition, which directly undermines its integrity and fairness as a student initiative. Recently, I observed two specific markets that were approved (voted through) and went live after the real-world outcomes were already known: "2026 IIHF Ice Hockey winner?" – Where the creator intentionally set the deadline days after the event had already concluded. "Shakira, Burna Boy - Dai Dai (Official Video) over 10 Million views by end of May?" Because the outcomes were already public knowledge before the markets were even online, these markets became "easy money" for the users who provided the final upvotes to launch them, as well as the traders who rushed in first to grab the guaranteed odds. This completely violates the spirit of a prediction market. To restore a level playing field and prevent future exploitation, I highly recommend implementing the following measures: Void Unfair Winnings: It would only be fair to void the trades and claw back the winnings from individuals who traded on these already-resolved markets. Penalize Market Creators: Penalize or block users who intentionally set market deadlines to occur days after the actual event takes place. Implement a Strike System for Upvotes: Introduce a strike system for users who upvote a market that has an already-known outcome. If a user repeatedly abuses this to push dead markets live for profit, they should face a temporary or permanent block. Introduce a Trading Cool-Down Period: Implement a feature where trading only opens after a set amount of time (e.g., one hour) after the final approval upvote is cast. This ensures that users who happen to cast the final vote or sit on the platform all day don't get an unfair structural advantage over those who cannot monitor the app constantly. If this competition is to remain fair, these loopholes need to be closed. Thank you for your time, hard work, and dedication to keeping this competition competitive and just.

Revision of the Buy/Selling Option

It would be a great improvement for the direct action feature of (buying or) selling market shares and derivatives straight out of the portfolio site, to really choose what amount to sell. Right now selling shares is limited to percentages of what you do hold at the moment. It would be better to influence the amount of withdrawals with some kind of buttons, that are already included for the option of buying shares like “+50 or +100 and max”. Further it would be interesting if you would consider giving us all the possibility, to make a bet against a certain option more complex (e.g. Spotify monthly listeners: If I am certain that the real decision is made between Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber, that I can take a more secure bet by choosing the option of betting “No” to all others who are not included [in this case Drake,….]. Because it really is a safer option, the max profit would have to be regulated or capped.) I think that these suggestions could be good improvement and help the chart move or behave like a real market that isn't predictable…

Market Creation Tool frustrates the shit out of me

The heading i wrote for the market gets changed as I move on to the next step without telling me, therefore the resolution criteria is asking into the wrong direction. The criteria for the description is way too strict, as it is non relevant for the resolution it should really be more loose an leave some space for some humor and other loose descriptions. I tried to create a market that just asks when the first LMU student reaches a net worth of 100k but it refused to let me create it, since the ai changed the heading without me even knowing and then telling me the heading is leaving ambiguity. Like what the hell … . Anyways, please fix the tool and let the market creation be more loose again, i think any problems will get catched by the upvoters or maybe you can look over some markets aswell and void them if theres something crucially wrong. What it seems like to me is, that the number of markets created is dropping week by week And at one point, the number of markets on the platform will shrink aswell, especially since the May challenges will come to an end soon.
