I'm sick of attention-wanting prediction threads which serve only to highlight the poster's immaturity and lack of respect for the rest of us.

Some members have done this multiple times without recourse and continue to divert attention away from more pressing real-world topics.

I'm not saying a genuine prediction is impossible but we have countless failed predictions here on ATS.

As another member put it in another thread, it's very frustrating wading through the sea of crap to get to a valid topic.

I propose that If a member posts a prediction or prophecy which fails, they should have a mark put on their avatar which is visible on ALL of their subsequent posts and threads.

Maybe under their name similar to the writer/fighter/scholar titles we have.

Maybe similar to the 'warn' icons but saying 'LIAR' or something, it doesn't matter. Just something which lets everyone else know that this member has posted a failed prediction.

I might be alone in this and we'll see but I am fully sick-of-it.

How can u you sick of it when the Predictions doesnt occur before the time 2010\2012. If you read the news and documents from former government members and the facts wich are going on now,you can see that the mayan prediction is 100% correct.

No I disagree and this is why we have a prediction forum so all predictions go in there and you don’t have to read them do you?

If you don’t like them or the idea of prediction threads then just ignore them the same way some people who don’t like paranormal thread ignore them or the same way people don’t like 2012 threads ignore them.

i don't like sifting through it either but a lot of these people who are making EDUCATED GUESSES infer data to have a logical conclusion, therefore their hypothesis.

how about you get an icon next to your name for being a douche that wants to brand and humiliate people for 'not exactly crying wolf but not exactly being 100% accurate or omniscient but still takes concerning data and infers and predicts a fair warning to prepare people of the possibility because i can't seem to ignore them (heh, look at my previous threads) or yeah, spend my time making examles of them as well'.

i'm on board with that.

AGAIN. I'm not against making predictions.

This idea would target those individuals who have a proven record of making outlandish and fantastic predictions which do not come true.

It would enable members to be wary of these threads, and those member's future predictions.

Ok, since you are sick of it then I propose YOU to be the one who facilitates the implementation of this idea and MONITORS the failed predictions. You wanna generate more work for this webstie and scrutinize then why dont you ask the site owners to jump start this project? Spotlight is on you now.
