@Deltaneutral, I must admit that happens a bit too often. However, I do not think that should be a problem in the long run.
Either VGChartz is a good source of predictive information (relative to "real" information, as people who ignore VGChartz data would say) or it is a bad source of predictive information.
If VGChartz is a good source of predictive information, those who make trades based on it will prosper in the long run. They will be rewarded with more virtual currency and will make more predictions, likely using VGChartz. As VGChartz is a good source of predictive information, this will increase the accuracy of the predictions here at the simExchange.
If VGChartz is a bad source of predictive information, those who make trades based on it will be penalized in the long run. They will have less virtual currency with which they can make fewer predictions. Their effect on the market will be minimalized, as they lose more money and people making rational trades gain their money. As people making rational trades gain more money, this will increase the accuracy of the predictions here at the simExchange.
In either scenario, it is beneficial in the long run to allow people to post about and make trades based on VGChartz information.
