Polymarket should ban self-referential markets > creates too much upside for manipulators.

Not sure I agree actually! These types of temporary market inefficiencies just provide incentives for actors to come in and bring them back to the true equilibrium. E.g. in my case I bought some more (cheaper) shares once I noticed the drop. Given that my underlying conviction didn't change, that was free money.

In general my guiding principle in these questions is "don't solve via rule enforcement what can be solved via markets", even if those markets sometimes need some time to mature and become efficient.
