Has there been a sudden change in the rules on quiz submissions?

On attempting to submit one after corrections, I get the message: "Sorry, but you may only have one new quiz submitted to the editors at a time. You already have one such quiz. Please wait until it gets accepted and then submit this quiz. Thank you."

Earlier this week I had three in the submitted list at the same time...

Hello.


I find myself in the same situation. A few days ago, I had multiple submissions. I had one returned, and when I tried to resubmit I got that same message.

It seems to coincide with having 21 quizzes suddenly lose their Sunnies. I'm really surprised by that, especially since many of them haven't been played in a while, and the others I have been receiving favorable comments about.

So what has happened?

-G.

Did your submission privileges change, too?

I'm not sure about that. I have three quizzes started and haven't finished them. One has correction notes that I need to deal with. Haven't been in writing mode for a while because of work concerns.

As always, the system is designed to reward consistent high-quality submissions. If you find that you are unable to submit more than one quiz at a time, it shouldn't be too hard to tighten up submissions to ensure they're of a high caliber and ready to go online straight from the queue. 99% of authors on the site can only submit one at a time.

As for the sunglasses, I couldn't tell you all the factors that go into the player rating process. If your ratings are fluctuating, that means everyone else's are changing as well.
