Bacterial, Protozoal and Parasitic Diseases

Not exactly in the quick-fire spirit of FMI.

We get questions on that. We're supposed to be sudden biologists and spell exactly? I've seen these questions more and more. They really don't belong in FMI. I am nicely calling for them to be struck from the FMI dataase. Thank you.

10. Impetigo: Is impetigo a viral or a bacterial infection?

I could look that up.

It should be struck. That's just too sticky considering the subject matter. Knowing infections is difficult enough. Then you have to spell it it EXactly! Yipes! This is FMI, NOT multi-choice.

You have to spell 'Viral' or 'Bacterial', you mean?

If you think a specific question is not suitable for the timed games, you should send a correction note on that question. This allows editors to remove it quickly if they think that is appropriate. A general complaint doesn't give much guidance about where to look, and the specific mechanism used by editors for removing questions from games requires that there be a correction note sent on it. From what you have posted, I could spend half an hour scouring the relevant subcategory to find the original quiz, play it and send the relevant correction note before going to the editing zone, finding the message and taking the appropriate action. Even if I could edit that category, this is far more time than I have to spare for this - there are a number of new quizzes whose authors would really like me to spend that time helping them get online, as well as a number of corrections to be dealt with.

I don't see any problem, considering they're spelled out for you right above where you type it. It's a 50-50 guess, just like a lot of other FMI questions (real or fake animals, American or British authors, or true and false)

When does the Alien Implant/Mutant Growth category hit our screens?

Are trambylapse swellings due to AIs or MGs?

I'm not personally sure what the problem is. Because the word's more than five letters long, somehow it's not suitable for the game? Hmm, not sure it's the monopoly of biologists to be able to spell.
