Gemeni - You need to hang up your Mod shoes, because every time you jump in to defend a decision, you are laughably wrong.

Unfortunately - nobody is laughing.



REALLY?!!!!! I have approved countless numbers of your sports questions!!

I was simply throwing out a possibility. When we were setting the guidelines, I was very in favor of allowing popular comics in the quiz.

You really need to hang up some of your complaining shoes. It is a game. It is supposed to be enjoyment. I cannot think of a single aspect you have not complained about. In fact, your complaints are often contradictory to your previous complaints. Some time ago, it became obvious to me that there will never be any pleasing you. So, please, take a few deep breaths, find something relaxing and try to actually enjoy the game.

Yes, it's supposed to be enjoyment - so how about making it enjoyable?

There is a lot I haven't complained about. Everything not related to the quiz for example. Even the fundamental concept of the quiz I haven't complained about. My only complaint has been and will likely continue to be question selection.

Please point out where I have been contradictory.

There's lots of pleasing me - and I've said it MANY times. If there is a question that isn't absurdly obscure, and has a reasonably easy-to-find answer - Pass it. Period.

Make the game enjoyable then. The Mods (led by Stekkos) have done a nice job of making themselves available and accountable... But where are the Game Admins?

And I do apologize if you were not the one to reject the Storm question - but you did come to the defense of the decision... Now you're saying that you would have passed it (given your pro-popular-comic stance)... This only continues to highlight the fact that it matters less about the quality of the question, and more about which moderator you get.

That is a problem.

Thanks Reanuk!

That really is the name of the song.


Wikipedia:
"Tribute" is a tribute to "The Greatest Song in the World"[1] and is the first single of Tenacious D's self-titled debut album. It was released July 16, 2002.



Dread Zeppelin is a Led Zeppelin cover band. It could seem plausible that they would pay tribute to the MightY Zep. How should I proceed?

Just use another band name and it should be ok. My greatest consern was about the name of the song, since it is confirmed that is an actual name i have no more reason to reject it.

I gave the misspelling evaluation to save your question. But this is quite specific, and not for those who have not seen mythbusters. I watched it and could not remember the name of the girl

Origin of society was due to ?
Evolution
Force
None of these
God's will

First of all, for the 1000 time, none of these is not accepted in answers. Furthermore, your answers can be debated from those who believe god created society and those who believe evolution did. So is better to keep it out of the quiz

Well i didnt know that about motoGP, still when i search the answer it gives the winners in all 3 categories. Better use the 500cc to avoid complains.

For the world cup, i made a real blunder, worse than Englands goalkeeper I am really sorry Thetus Although you should add the year of the last world cup to the question

You're right about using 500cc, then noone should be mistaken for sure.

which actor was not on the original "star trek" tv show?
nichelle nichols
james doohan
walter koenig
ricardo montalban

I gave the misspelling due to the names, use capitals for the first letters. But also please change the correct answer to an actor that has nothing to do with star trek. Using an actor that appeared next to the correct ones in a star trek movie but not in the tv show is a bit unfair for those with no knowleadge of the subject
