Re: Prediction Status Table data flawed
Posted by n.i.c.e. on March 22, 2001 at 13:37:46:

Several of my posts hit, Banda sea with 5.1, 5.2 in window, and a couple of others listed as misses, Oaxaca was within range at Acapulco with a 5.3 W,... Central Nevada etc...and I resent the demands of the board for the predictor to update and then wait till you get around to posting the hits. One way street. See why I won't use your format or don't enjoy your comments like "formal predictions are not mandatory so not a problem", then "IT can't be a hit as it wasn't a prediction." Forecasts can have hits too, and this whole new format has cost a lot of bandwidth for little benefit. WE STILL CANT EVEN TELL HOW BIG THE HITS ARE!!! a post for 3-6 m gets listed as a hit and the viewer wouldn't know if it was devastation or just a wee little bump. Really useful,huh? I sound like I'm impatient but you've heard this before from myself and several others and haven't made changes. I would comment on how we're appreciative of your work, but I for one am not. I think I have spent as much effort trying to tell you how to build a site that would better for the predictor but to no avail. My 2 cents, and I can't take my postings back, but can ask if you are going to use them, please ensure they are updated and accurate otherwise your new board serves to destroy credibility and lower apparant accuracy, by showing worse results than are true. Martin. Enjoyed this board a couple of months ago before you took over the format.
