In addition to all of the general category guidelines, we have a few rules that we apply to our newer authors.
We don't allow new authors to use the Fill in the Blank (FITB) format. This is because the FITB format is often over-used by authors who don't understand how to construct multiple choice questions. We believe that authors should understand and appreciate the possibilities of multiple choice before they move on to FITB, where spelling becomes an issue for players. This rule will be enforced on all quizzes.
We don't allow new authors to construct quizzes with more than ten questions. We've implemented this rule because it is easier for the editors to work with new authors on ten questions than on 25. Once the expectations for quiz-writing are understood, you can create longer quizzes. This rule will be enforced on all quizzes with IDs above 116303.
