I checked the sites you posted, the only problem i can see is that you should change the question to: ""Which animal was domesticated earlier than any other IN THE WORLD?""

The reason i emphasize this, is because from the links you provided its obvious different areas of the world have different findings in what was domesticated first. But wordwide the dog was the first.

This question was recently rejected:


Which Beatle played bass guitar?

George Harrison
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Ringo Starr


The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.


Yet I just received this question, which is more difficult than the one I just had rejected:


Which of the following has not played drums for The Who?
Kenny Jones
Zak Starkey
Keith Moon
Bill Bruford



Please help.

Rasputin, this is just one of the cases of difference in opinion between 2 evaluators. The fact remains that they should have a guideline for all to follow, for now these things will happen since although they try to evaluate as fair as they can, each follows there own idea of what is special question

Do you have any suggestions that would make the questions more likely to pass an evaluation?

Post questions that are general in interest. Ask about records, famous writers, poets, scientists, leaders etc. Also questions about countries or science facts seem to pass easy

^And you say SCIENCE FACTS seem to pass easy?

"Bad Spelling" lets you re-write the question. "Bad Question" means the writer completely forfeits the bonus. And the Game Admins don't give a crap, and don't even read this forum, therefore nothing will change.

On the misspelling point we agree, i just said it was wrong not to evaluate it as that. As for the admins not reading the forums, i beg to differ. I keep finding questions corrected due to posts. They never answered the post, but they took action according to it

Who said, "I have not yet begun to fight"?

William Halsey
Horatio Nelson
John Paul Jones
Isoroku Yamamoto

According to evaluators only a special group of people might know the answer.

How is this question only known to a "special group" where dozens of other questions are not? I have answered many questions that are poorly worded and very specific.

After having a very good question rejected ( what country sees the sun first each day answer IS New Zealand )

its dissapointing to see some of the junk that actually gets accepted E.g how many in a Quadrille

well The answer was 8 but an oct is 8, quad is 4, the fact that a horse may carry a horseman or a dance may include partners the answer to this is STILL 4 not 8

just one example of many that has got thru, if u are not going to do these questions right dont do them at all.
