"1. Search to make sure there isn't already a similar prediction or suggestion in The Standard. "
Why bother?
denis Lafont's suggestion on the same topic, which followed this one by a couple of hours and needed significant editing, made it onto the Featured Suggestions list on the homepage and, as a result, received double-digit Yes votes (and no No votes the last time I saw it). And has now made it all the way into becoming a playable prediction. Yet this suggestion, which didn't get lucky and tapped by TIS editors for featuring, languished, receiving a vote of 1-1.
What possible incentive is there to make such a search prior to posting a new suggestion?
It also helps highlight just how important featuring can be.
