I've been a member on FunTrivia for a very long time, and have published six quizzes. I have made a variety of other ones, as well, that haven't been published. In fact, one of them has been in the works for about 3 years now! Unfortunately, there have been a few changes recently, making some quizzes impossible to complete. One of the most crucial changes is making it so you cannot use T/F or Fill in The Blank questions anymore, even if you've made many well-received quizzes. I can no longer complete my Lexicon Ladder, my Broken Words, and I'm lucky I'm able to complete my Mario 64 quiz. I don't like this new feature, and will boycott funtrivia until either A) I am made into a "well-known" author, or B) the feature gets taken down completely. I really don't want to do this, but I will have to. I have been a member for more than 4 years and now I can't even make questions... yeesh.

The same goes for crosswords - I would like to eventually make crosswords and not have to make 300 quizzes.

T/F and FITB quizzes can be used by authors once they're written their first quiz (though it's barred for new authors). If you have the greenscreen at the top of your quiz, you won't be able to use them, but it doesn't mean you'll never be able to use them again. As long as you keep submitting quality quizzes, your greenscreen will disappear and you'll be given access to the other question types again. For the majority of instances, you probably will be using Multiple Choice questions anyways.

I CAN'T submit quality quizzes without T/F and FiTB. It's my thing to rotate between them. If I don't, I feel like I'm letting my fans down. I still have no clue why this is necessary in the first place.

Unfortunately, your past submissions (the last of which was a couple of years ago) have necessitated the greenscreen for whichever reasons, and the only way to have it removed is through cooperation with editors and error-free quiz submissions. If an improvement is noted then, as I said, the greenscreen would disappear. Many of the quizzes online have no FITB or T/F questions at all and some categories avoid them entirely. Although the Brain Teasers quizzes may not be completable at this time, there are plenty of topics out there which don't need either format. Some of your quizzes are completely multiple choice as it is, so it is possible.

I have earned the privelage by playing 200 quizzes. I have created 5, and that would have been more. I had about 20 badges before those were taken away. I have improved greatly, and have a rather popular quiz still played today. I am a bit of a lurker, I admit - every few months I get into a funtrivia mode. But I do not deserve this. I know I am sounding very whiny, and I'm sorry for that. But this site, believe it or not, is NOT about the quality of the quizzes. It's NOT about the publicity, and it's NOT about making money! It's about having fun and creating fun for others. I, for one, really like variety. And if you don't agree with me, allow me to change all of your avatars and signatures to be the same. Then would you agree? Yes. On average, I've needed to submit a quiz twice. That's it - just twice! I really don't see how that needs the green-screen. If it were 10, that's another story. But as of now, I have done nothing wrong and refuse to admit that I have.

I would rather take a "How worthy/knowledgeable of FunTrivia are you?" quiz than waste my time making a quiz nobody will like.

If you don't deserve it, then your green screen will be removed. However, that will not happen until you resubmit a quiz or two that require little or no editing.

The point is that your previous submissions merited the green screen, therefore your quiz authoring abilities are restricted. Your previous submissions not being up to par *do* mean you do merit having the green screen.

Please note that having your quiz being rejected just once can merit the green screen, if the errors were egregious enough (such as plagiarism or a lot of basic grammar errors).

Why do you say you have to have T/F and FITB to make a quiz people will like? I have over 350 quizzes, many of which have sunglasses, and I know many of my quizzes are only multiple choice.

It's just my style, I guess. I feel like I'm locked up in a little cage, in a jail cell, in an elevator, in a 1 room apartment on Pluto without them.

And I had no idea I just had to resubmit some. I'll try that tomorrow.

Boycott?

You mean you'll protest not being able to write questions by not writing questions?

That's going to be a fun protest to watch...

I would disagree that this site is not about quality. It IS about quality as well as fun. That's one of the things that separates this site from other wannabes. That's one of the reasons that this site has over 1,000,000 memebers. It is the best site of this type on the Internet. Even though you might feel slighted right now, you still need to follow the rules you agreed to when becoming a member. Icurrently have 131 quizzes on line, but that 1) doesn't mean I can now have free reign and do what I want, 2) doesn't mean that I am exempt from the rules and 3) doesn't mean that I don't get feedback (both good and bad), and corrections from the Editors. Without these controls this would just be another bogus website.

You certainly don't have to have 300 quizzes online to be able to make a crossword either!

I've had a couple of requests to edit one of my archived quizzes because an answer would be different now, due to a plot development on the TV show involved. Do you think it's worth the trouble to do this?

Thank you. Now how do I send a correction note on my quiz or PM an editor in TV? Sorry I'm not really up on this stuff.

To send a correction on your quiz, click on the title of the quiz and then click on 'send message to author'. (I think that's what the link says!) Then just make sure the 'correction'/'error' button is ticked and the TV editors will see what you want done.

Just remember to please be specific with what you want changed so we can do it without having to re-contact you. Thanks!

And, if you get lost during all of this, there is a list of all editors in each category on any category page. Click on our names to get our profiles, and over on the (I think) left hand side, not too far down, is the box to send a message. It's better to go through the quiz, but this works too.

The whole "archived quiz" thing is a pretty clunky system... it will be improved eventually. All sorts of changes to the correction system are happening in the background and need to be completed before we can simplify that.

I followed your directions and nothing happened. My quiz is still not fixed.

Give it a little time, the note is there. Sometimes it takes a week or so for the editors to get to these. You've done your bit, now you can just wait.

Thank you very much!
