Subject: Note for Single Question Authors

Posted by: Terry
Date: Aug 20 09

I received a note from a player today regarding single questions of his that were once rated but are now suddenly appearing back in the "new questions" list. This is what is happening:

The editors now have a system in place to correct questions that have received error reports from players. The editors have been correcting questions based on this feedback.

Some questions that were removed from circulation early because of too many error reports have been corrected and have had their stats reset by the editors and placed back into the new question game for a re-do.

We do this because such questions with numerous error reports and a small number of plays may have received unfairly low ratings because of the errors (or perceived errors) in them. Also, questions with errors likely confused players, leading to highly inaccurate "difficulty" ratings for the questions. Such corrected questions have been put back into the game to be rated again.

Hopefully this explains what some of you are seeing.
