Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Quizmaker Tune-Ups : Quizzyland Etiquette

Introduction:
"Like any other sport, profession, or organization, Quizzyland has its own rules of conduct. In general, the Golden Rule applies in FunTrivia- you know, "do unto others..." See how much you know about Quizzyland etiquette."


1. You get a correction notice on a quiz you have written on the book "Gone With the Wind". The message, which is rude, consists of "Read the book, dummy!!!!" What is the most appropriate response?
    Write back to the person "I did, dummy!!!"
    Write back to the person and call them a name
    Delete the message and ignore it
    Send the message to an Editor


2. You have submitted a quiz and it seems to be taking an awfully long time for it to be put online. It's appropriate to write to an Editor every day and ask what's taking so long.
    True
    False


3. You come across a user name that you think is offensive. What should you do?
    Ignore it
    Send the person a message calling him a name
    Send the person a message politely asking him to change his screen name
    Notify an Editor


4. You're taking a quiz on edible fungi and come across a fact that you believe to be wrong. Which of these is the most appropriate correction notice?
    "Learn your mushrooms, moron!"
    "There's a mistake in your quiz."
    "NUMBER 5 IS WRONG!!"
    "Hi. I enjoyed your quiz, but I believe you made a mistake..."


5. You have submitted a quiz you have made on the movie "Jaws", but it keeps getting rejected. The Editor has pointed out mistakes you feel are silly, such as commas, capitalization, and so forth. What is the most likely reason for this?
    The Editor had a fight with her husband and is taking it out on you
    The Editor doesn't like you and is picking on you
    The Editor wants you to learn something
    Rejecting quizzes makes the Editor feel important


6. You've just taken a quiz which you believe is truly horrible. Which is the best thing to do?
    Send a message to the quizmaker telling them how awful the quiz is
    Rate it "Very Poor" or "Poor"
    Nothing- what can you do?
    Send a message to a category Editor asking them how they can put such crap online


7. You have created a quiz on a certain singer or band and submit it to the Music category. The quiz is returned by an Editor, telling you that the category is temporarily closed. You are upset because you spent a lot of time on the quiz and feel that others would enjoy it. What is the best course of action?
    Submit the quiz again, explaining why you think an exception should be made for it
    Keep submitting it; eventually the Editors will get tired of seeing it in the queue and put it online
    Hold onto the quiz, and in the meantime make a quiz about something different
    Write to the Editors every day, asking if the category is open yet


8. You're a big fan of the band Metallica and have made a Metallica quiz to submit to Music. It's okay to say somewhere in your quiz "If you're a fellow Metallica fan and would like to chat, e-mail me at...."
    True
    False


9. You come across a quiz on a topic that you consider yourself an expert in. You believe there to be a factual error in the quiz. You send a correction notice to the author, who replies that there's no error, and refuses to fix the quiz. How should you handle this situation?
    keep writing to the author until they change the information
    write to an Editor and demand that the quiz be taken offline
    threaten to notify an Editor if the information isn't changed
    politely notify an Editor of what you believe to be the correct facts


10. You really want to be a FunTrivia Editor. What should you do?
    participate in the forums
    establish yourself as a good quizmaker
    fill out an Editor application
    all of these
