Unfortunately, the image refused to go unless I filled in the big red boxes that kept flashing before me.

I should clarify. This forum does require certain forms to be filled in. The intent was to force a minimum of quantified data to make a meaningful prediction. That is, from the point of view of us who evaluate predictions. The problem is that there is a looooooooooooong history of folks saying things like "big quake in Japan tomorrow" and then they claim a particular quake as a hit. But what is a "big quake"? What magnitude? M6? M7? M25? Tongue Where is "Japan"? What if the quake was 500 miles off shore? Does that count? What does "tomorrow" mean? What if it was a M9 on the southern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula? Well, technically, that's in Russia, but would be felt in Japan. Does that count? They said "Japan", not "Russia".

I see four options:

1> Leaves things as they are, but then in posts if you don't really mean the data put in the forms, then the poster would have to clearly say so.

2> Remove the requirement of the forms.

3> Remove the forms altogether.

4> Make a new forum for "informal predictions".

Input is most appreciated.

I vote for making the form optional, reserved for format predictions. Duffy is just learning at this point so what he's doing now shouldn't be part of his permanent record.
