At this point, we aren't in need of any new editors. When we are, we make announcements and screen candidates.

Why only six quizzes have to be done, as I would have thought this would be a lot higher, for the person to know what it is like and the 'trials and tribulations' of a quiz maker? When I look back on my first six, they are nothing like the ones I submit now, as I have changed my style a lot due to experience and advice of the editors. Since you now have to do 100 quizzes before submitting your first one, should this figure be uptted also? In selection do the selectors take into account the type of correction notices that have been sent, to see how abrupt or helpful and encouraging they are to the quiz maker as I think that this is very important and useful for many reasons?

Yes to the latter question. Diplomacy is a very helpful quality too.

Though the requirements were different when I entered as an editor three years ago, I'd taken three hundred quizzes before doing one of my own. I'm sure I'd done at least ten or more before becoming an editor.

Up for the newest person who asked. At the moment, we are not looking for new editors.
