Hi Cathryn,

I thought I'd move your post up here near the top so it doesn't get lost. You said:
"Still... how would you propose to "police" this repository such that you don't get a bunch of loonies, who report their every biological symptom as an earthquake precursor, even though in most cases those earthquakes never arrive?

Well, the delete key is a good place to start. I've seen a few to many of those over the years and some are so good they should be marked "for entertainment purposes only."

I think when there is no response to "reports" then that kind of thing would not be interesting to a person who wants attention and posts to frequently. It's supposed to be a place which collects material, but the material is not subject to comment specifically.

Just a thought as an example might be that if we created a repository here and created a special kind of entry, then those reports would be something that no one was allow to respond to. But it needs to be more in the context of a list, rather than these kinds of posts or all the material would get lost when the board is cleared off or other subjects are discussed.
