You may need to check with someone before submitting them to the other place. Once they have been submitted, they may already be subject to copyright, even if they are later deleted. I am not sure of the fine print on this, but from what I understand, they become property of FT as soon as they are submitted. Your best bet would be to resubmit the quiz here and take the necessary action to get the quiz online.

Anya_Angie, what is your name on the quiz side of Funtrivia?

It's the same username on the main site.

I settled it, apparently I misread the editor's message, instead of saying I should submit the Plushenko quiz first they suggested the Film Scores quiz first. So I did. Hopefully things will be better now.

There is no account with the name Anya_Angie. I just checked and it is AnyaAngie

Ok, thanks, I am so used to an underscore in it.

I found a more appropriate place for my Plushenko quiz. Since it is not submitted here, would it be all right if I submitted it there?

You can keep the film score quiz of course. It's already submitted, I wouldn't dream of taking it away from you.

Edited to remove names of site. It wasn't necessary to name them.

This is very interesting the whole quiz rejection thing. Sue, take a tip, tone down. Kidding. I think... nah jokes.
Anyway with my quiz that eventually had me blocked from the actual quiz part of Quizzyland. I had no constructive critisim send back, just all this "useful" information that made no sense whatsoever and really made me, not the quiz in general, really downgraded. And I have complained. A lot of times to Sue, but no response whatsoever. We, in the household, cannot log in to Funtrivia on the usual quiz thing. Sue, a response would be greatly appreciated. (paulfrank_008)

I will not reproduce here the message that you sent to one of our editors. Our editors are all volunteers and willingly give their free time to edit, what they don't need is rude messages nor abuse. I am not accusing you of sending an abusive message but the one that you did send is not acceptable.

Your family have you to blame for not being able to log on to Funtrivia, not me.

Hi there, I submitted a quiz a couple of months ago and it was rejected. I filled out the box saying I don't think it should be rejected etc and got a reply from diamondlance saying that you couldn't find my quiz. I can't find it either. Any idea where it has gone.
It was a quiz on final fantasy VII

Hmmm, there's no sign of it. If it was long enough ago, and you did no work on it, it would have been automatically deleted by the system. Sorry about that, you'll have to start from scratch.

By the way, using the "Not an Error" box to communicate with editors is not a good idea. First of all, if an editor has things he wishes you to change on your quiz, then they are indeed errors, and must be dealt with. Second, editors may not see that message for quite some time - if you do not resubmit the quiz, they will NEVER see it. If there is something in a rejection note that you wish to discuss with your editor, click on 'reply' and send a note directly.
We are willing to discuss things with you, but keep in mind that editors have seen thousands of quizzes, and have a very good idea of what will and will not work in our system. If we ask you to do something, chances are there is a good reason for it.

Hi,
How is everyone doing? Should we always get a rejection notice? Hope everyone understands the question. I've corrected the things that were sent to me in the notes. Then the other night when online, I noticed it said someone was editing my quiz. I later found on the site the list of editors, a different one than the one who sent the notes.
They haven't sent me anything though about things I need to correct.

There is no member on the other part of the site with your name. We ask that you use the same name in all parts of the site so that we know who you are. Without your username we cannot answer your question properly. Are you AmyR2? That one is coming on the same IP address.

I'm thinking that when you checked your quiz, an editor was taking a look at it, but that editor did not necessarily make a correction and send it to you.
We have a protective thing that makes sure that if someone is editing a quiz, the other person doesn't try to touch it at the same time.

If you're working on your quiz and it's been submitted, then, I might be checking things in the queue and see that you were working on it, and wait until you'd finished. If you are checking your quiz with the edit function and you see that editorXyZ is working on this quiz..etc. then, you know that someone's having a look.

Does this make sense? It's a great way to avoid overrunning each other's corrections by the way!

Bruyere, funtrivia.com editor.

Another editor may have been doing something small that you didn't need to be notified about - changing category, for instance. If you don't get a note about it, don't worry about it.

Hello. I made a quiz not too long ago. When i submitted it, i got my first letter from my editor. And a couple more to follow. When my quiz got put online it looked so much better than the first draft i submitted. My editor was awesome. My editor was very helpful. I learned alot. I never felt mad or dicouraged. I felt grateful i had help making my quiz look the best it could look. My editor was the best tool i could have had. Thank you again.

I just sent my first quiz for approval--hopefully it meets the guidelines.

I wrote a quiz and it went well but then just as i was about to send it, my internet connection went, i saved the page and when i got the internet back i sent the quiz. I wasn't sure if it had worked or not but it tells you to only send it once. I thought it looked important that you didn't do that so i didn't. After a few days i went back to have a look for it and it wasn't there. I thought it musn't have worked so i tried to re-write the quiz. I was then told that i had already submitted a quiz the same as this one so i couldn't continue. I tried at the queztions bit about making quizes and it said to look at the "My Stats" page. I did and i couldn't see anything about a quiz anywhere and now i'm quite perplexed!!

Try and go to "My quizzes: Edit"

That will list all quizzes-online and offline and submitted.

Is that your 'Bec" quiz? It is not currently submitted, so you should go back into the edit screen and try again.

By the way, that quiz belongs in the Darren Shan category, so you might as well put it in the right place while you are at it. Just change the pull down menu to Authors Q - S, save, and then go back into the edit screen and find Darren Shan, and save again.

I have had a problem with an editor..I am very new to this site..I was twice accused of "plagiarizing" when I tried to submit my quiz (same quiz)..I tried to follow the "help" section, but it seams that you can not complain about a "editor"..So what do you do?
This editor stated "that I don't want to be able to "google" the information about your answers and find it almost word for word".....
The following was my reply...


In your quiz #46 I found the information on the answer to question #1 as follows in part.....

And I quote, " a Sumerian describes dental decay as "tooth worms"
Please take note of the 1st and 2nd lines of the Google response..

I Googled the first line of YOUR "information" and found the below..

Web Results 1 - 10 of 10 for Sumerians described the activity of "tooth worms". . (0.30 seconds)

Tip: Save time by hitting the return key instead of clicking on "search"

Dental Education For ChildrenBut wait, in 5000 BC, a Sumerian text describes dental decay as “tooth worms” and about 260BC, an inscription on the tomb of Hesy-Rey an Egyptian scribe, ...

I see that your "information" can also be "googled directly"...Please, in the future, make sure of your own quiz's before accusing someone else of "plagiarizing" as you have done to me.......

I would like for you to "pull my quiz" if you can. I will delete it, otherwise, myself, if I am able...

Double standards are something that I do not wish to be involved with..

Thanks for you time.......

We do not appreciate you placing the same post in two threads, it is totally unnecessary.

As was said in the other thread, there is a procedure for reporting problems with an editor and it is anchored towards the top of this forum. Since you appear not to be able to find it I will post a link to it here...

http://www.funtrivia.com/ubbthreads/show...ge=0#Post488638

As you will see there is a choice of two contacts.

those dumb editor took mine and won't accept a new one until the one, they destoryed, it online. that's messed it.

Please do not insult our editors.

my fault

How very odd Sara. By the look of your capitalisation and spelling skills, I am really not surprised it wasn't passed.

Dumb? Ok. We may reserve different judgments about your use of the word in this context!

I have been asked to supply a manual to my answers.

Do I place a reference in each answer to where the info came from, or just post a link for people to look up?

That's an interesting question.
Please ask the editor who sent you the message.

I've noticed quite a bit of sarcasm and belittlement on the part of many responding to the frustration involved in getting a quiz online. No misspelling was involved in mine(except spelling traveler as traveller), yet I also have received about 5 rejection notices regarding my lighthearted quiz about 80s movies. The bone of contention appears to be that I haven't written enough description regarding my answers. As of my last resubmit, each answer has about 5-6 sentences. I don't think with an answer like "Charlie Sheen" I should have to go into detail about who he is and what he looks like.

Adding to my frustration, almost turning into outright contempt, is that I've come across many other recently approved quizzes which are truly dumbed down. My editor told me my questions were "boring and repetitative." How is this for a dumb question:

"Would a musical with Nazis, wimples, daring escapes, thunderstorms be butch enough for you? Which one is it?"

What does butch mean, exactly? I hope the person is not referring to gay people becasue that would be rude and insensitive. Does the grammar strike you as off at all? It should. As much as I've enjoyed this website over the years, this experience is almost enough to make say "enough." My editor kept telling me to put punctuation outside of quotation marks, this question doesn't appear to have done that. The inconsistency regarding quizzes is laughable. I really hope I didn't just get unlucky with some rogue Nazi editor - looking at most of the recently added quizzes it does appear so, however.

Please do not single out the quizzes of another author in a public forum like this - you would not like it if a quiz of yours were to be held up to contempt.

If you have a problem with your quiz submission, please work it out in private with your editor.
