   If for each mistaken prediction there was some mild accountability, like someone shows up and slaps you with a trout, it would improve the site. But it should be added to the terms of service first.

      Alternatively, you can bet on your predictions. If you're wrong, you lose money.

         you know that's not a bad idea there are a lot of people who are very confident on both sides of the argument. I wonder how many would actually be willing to put their money where their mouth is.

            I think it’s too ill defined for that. The issue you see with all those “challenges” is that they are very subjective. And it’s not really the case that the majority is correct
