Subject: Authoring: Matchbox

Posted by: Lord_Digby
Date: Feb 22 24

Hi guys,
Just a quick question on the Authoring: Matchbox challenge. To get the badge, you need a star of any colour for each quiz you write. Who gives out the stars? Is it the editors who award the star, or is it based on the rankings of players?
Thanks,
Digby

It is based off of rankings/ratings given by players.

Yup-- that one's a long-term endeavour partly because Match Quizzes have been available for quite a long while now. Made sense to add in the stipulation.

A little surprised that wasn't a requirement for the Gallery badge for photo quizzes, too.

The star requirement only on Match and Multiple Choice (when that one comes out) because these two formats are very easy to write and have the largest percentage of cookie-cutter quizzes - repetitive setups with just barely enough info to pass muster - that very few players enjoy.

Writing a photo quiz or any of the more recent formats is significantly more effort and, to our experience, undertaken almost only by authors who have a good reason to use these formats. We don't want to limit creativity on those or force authors to try for "popular" topics simply because those tend to attract better ratings.
