Is there any possibility of imposing a limit on the amount of content that someone can submit in a day?
Recently there have been a few members that have just been flooding the site with content and most of it is very minor in importance, already been posted, or similar in nature to content already posted by that same person (e.g. 4 reviews for the same game in one day). This flood by a few members picks up enough upbids for them to make profits on their activities even though the content may not get a lot of upbids because of most of the content being minor in importance. It also makes it harder to focus on content that have more significance with the accuracy of our predictions.
In the placepoint charts, each player get points by his place ($numberOfPlayers$ - $hisPlace$). If he is long, that value gets added, if he is short, that value get subtracted.
On the Networth it is the same, just there the entire Networth of the player is used (not the money invested)
Hello! This is a question for Kult of Cows more than anything which might be more appropriate for e-mail but as I'm sure he's a busy guy didn't wanna bother him. I've just finished James Suroweicki's "The Wisdom of Crowds" which I found out about via playing here. I'm interested in experimenting with some prediction markets back at work but I was curious as to how much of an understanding I might need of how real markets work in making any progress. Basically what I understand about markets is what I know from TSE! I hope that's taken a great endorsement of the site but I suspect it might not be enough to go on to start building them.
Has anyone else here gotten more interested in Prediction markets since joining TSE and have any other resources worth taking a look at?
I did a little update to my bot. Maybe this info find some people helpful:

@Joe80, I think they will stop once they crossed 2000 net upbid milestone. I know that I stopped contributing lots of articles once I hit it (to give chances for others to hit them).
That is precisely what i have done today, i dont think there is enough margin on the hardware futures and for the past month ive had barely anything short or long. Today i have taken up a number of positions between 300-1200k dkp's worth on GLS and will be looking to add to that over the next few days. All my May NPD profit (where i made 6-7mil) came from software futures, but that option obviously isnt available to me now :(.
@vGInfidel, I get most of my profit on June NPD's S/W. I only break even on H/W. I think the best profit & risk chances are in the S/W, while H/W will only provide minimum profit and risk chances.
