New: Hubdub questions now have their own category
Hey everyone. Now all the forecasts about the World's News Forecaster itself can be found in the new 'Hubdub' category.
http://www.hubdub.com/p/MarketList?ca...
We wanted to keep the front page relevant for as wide an audience as possible and so felt we should do something about the large number of self-referential questions on there. However, we didn't want them to go completely - not least because we want to know what the forecasts about us really are!
So, thanks for all the Hubdub-related questions and predictions, please now tick the 'hubdub' category box only for these from now on.
Cheers,
Tom

Inappropriate?Well the own group for those questions surely was an improvement. But I'm one of those who consider many of the hubdub related questions gamey or at least irrelevant.
So yes, it's better now. But hubdub without hubdub questions would be even better
I’m halfways happy

Inappropriate?I'm confused though. Weren't these questions going to be disallowed under the new guidelines? I'm glad they're staying, but maybe we need to think about what types of these questions are too easily manipulated because the predictor is in some sense the predicted.

Inappropriate?I see the points in both responses. I think, however, that the other features, primarily the 'power users' vetting the questions will take away the gaming possibilities in the HD related questions. -

I don't really see how some very very rare good questions on hubdub, might sanctify the complete rest like the linked question.
It's not about any real news, it's possible to influence the outcome ( aka cheat ) and it's not really interesting in any thinkable manner. The gain of accepting hubdub questions is thatfor minimal, while the possible negative results are tremendous.
The earlier you make the logical step to stop this, the better ( and easier to do so ) for hubdub.
