Hubdub does not permit markets on the impending death (for example how or when) of people, or markets considered to be death tolls, unless expressly approved at the discretion of the Category Editor. This rule will apply even in the context of a mainstream news story. This rule applies to all markets created after February 10, 2009.

Yes there won’t be anymore presidential assassination markets. The rule though is not retrospective, therefore the Obama assassination markets and others created before the new ruling will stand till settlement.

Do we tolerate political correctness in the Netherlands? No Sir Ree….
