@pilias_simber, such action wouldn't surprise me. That said, it's not exclusively an issue with the lack of marketmaker. While that is part of it, I also think the fact that the whole site "resets" at Midnight Pacific is part of the equation. A few big trades at 12:01 am sets the tone for the rest of the day. If, instead, activity were formatted for the last 24 hours, then no trades could have higher significance over others solely because of timing. I don't have issue with bid trust and rankings being set at midnight, but everything else should be based on the last 24 hours rather than since midnight.
I do think that using the Pacific time zone for the site's midnight is rather unfair to those in the Eastern time zone (like myself), as that'd be far too late for many to stay up. If the site were based on Eastern time, then at least all of the American time zones could be active for midnight more easily.
