What you didn't see were the condescending and dismissive e-mails sent by the game admins that basically said "If you don't like it, don't play the Quiz". European players get quiz questions that (generally speaking) cater to their geography and history, while North American players are basically told Tough Sh!t. I posted the IDENTICAL Anaheim question three times before it made it thru to the Quiz (proof that there IS no "Automated Filter" - it's ALL human decision).

Every question is "special knowledge" to someone. There probably isn't a single question in the list at 100% - and if there is, that equally defeats the purpose of a QUIZ. In the same way as I have to look up a Nobel Prize winner, and Classical Music questions, I feel no guilt if someone has to go to Wiki and look up "NHL Anaheim".

Can ANYONE legitimately tell be that I should have to answer questions that I don't know the answer to, but should not be allowed to post questions that others may not know the answer to?

PS. That Anaheim question is at 76.92% right now - a higher score than all but one if the instantly-accepted Water Polo questions.

Please, please, please!
It's not racism from the creators or admins! It's very far from that. Why? Because all of us is sucking when ask thing what we like. It's nothing special.
Anyway, I'm agree with Pogaxa: you should ask something different like history or something that more important than NHL or sports for the whole mankind not just you. Also it can be NEW and INTERESTNG. Be creative.
Sorry for the flaming.

I had: Evaluation of your questions so far: 8 good, 0 bad, 0 deleted.

Suddenly, I logg-in and it says: Evaluation of your questions so far: 7 good, 1 bad, 0 deleted.

I didn't submit a new one in nearly a week. How did a question go from good to bad? How can I know which question it was and why?

if 75% of the respondents did not know the answer for your question, it is taken out automatically from the database and get wrong question status. you can see the percentage of the good answers in the right column beside your questions, guess there will be a number there with less than 25%.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, there is one question that went from 58% to 24% in the past week. 75% is a high number to keep.

it's only 25% you have to keep - but sometimes it is hard too

Can you help me find the error?

Thanks Chaotic!

You are welcome. Just don't expect me to remember one semester of French I took over 10 years ago

Where is Croatia?

In the Northern Hemisphere
In the Southern Hemisphere
Right on Equator
That country doesn't exist

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.

where?

guess you got a indulgent evaluator usually questions with answers like "that country doesn't exist" gets dropped at once - if that country doesn't exist, why do you ask about it? so i suggest you put in some correct answer for the fourth.

Please explain what is wrong here

How did Alexander the Great die?

Killed in combat
Drowned
Murdered
From a disease


The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Your answers are ambiguous or wrong to this question

guess because the exact cause of his death is not sure, it could be poison or some disease as well.

See, if they could just state that instead for "Bad, incorrect" then complains would be much less. Thank you

After many weeks i thought, hey lets give another try to post a question, maybe the system has changed after all these complains. Te result:

According to the bible, what destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra?

Flood
Fire from the sky
Earthquake
Giants


The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
Spelling mistakes in question or answers.


SO TELL ME THE MISTAKE TO CORRECT IT, IS IT SOOOO DIFFICULT TO STATE OR HIGHLIGHT THE SPELL ERROR?????????????????????
