Show HN: SciCast, Science and Tech Combinatorial Prediction Market by GMU

Sorry for that experience, I'll be sure to pass that along and get it rectified. I'm sure you're not the only one who would have an issue with this.

Thanks - I agree (although this is a non-profit effort by a University so technically we're not selling anything.) We'll put a big call to action on the homepage to review the forecasting questions. In the meantime, here's a direct link so you can see what's out there. Hope you'll reconsider coming back: https://scicast.org/#/questions/

If you're talking about how we resolve questions when the answer is (supposedly) known - we try to be pretty careful about what sources we tap and have a growing list of subject matter experts we reach out to to understand what may really be going on. We also have partnerships with IEEE, AAAS, and a few other professional societies who are helping both author forecasting questions and resolve questions. This is all a public/open effort so if anyone wanted to get involved themselves by posting forecast questions in addition to making predictions, they can do so.
