Thanks for writing this up, I think those are a bunch of good points.
Regarding „Incentivizing forecasters to collaborate“, I wonder how cheap of a win it could be to make the comment upvoting on Metaculus more like our karma system. On Metaculus I don’t get notified about upvotes and I don’t have a visible overall upvote score.
As a side note, I personally already get more out of people upvoting my comments on Metaculus than out of my ranking, feels much more like I directly contributed to the wisdom of the crowd with my hot take analysis.
You might be interested in both: “Most Likes” and “h-Index” metrics on MetaculusExtras which does have a visible upvote score. (Although I agree it would be nice to have it on Metaculus proper)
