We need a time limit on the amount of days a question can go unanswered or unasked in the quiz threads.

Some people have complained to me privately that they have to do real work instead of answering stupid questions on AM, which is unacceptable.


Please vote and it shall be done.




I guess after the time is up anyone can just ask a question?

A week is adequate I think.

The real problem is people forgetting they have answered a question or the usual case of Mr./Mrs. Post Once Per Week/Fortnight/Month deciding to answer a question and a) forgetting b) not being online.

A couple of my favourite quizzes (movie quotes, where is it?) have stalled badly recently and even my efforts to revive them haven't been met with too much response.

They were going great guns until the stall!

Better efforts need to be made on the clue front to by the quizzer once a question has held things up to long.

BTW. How is that Sports Quiz? :lol:

(I just realised my question has been unanswered...too hard perhaps?)

 One working day.

 Weekends are ok though.
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

A day. I like fast moving quizzes. And I too have been guilty of forgetting so a day it should be.

1 day is enough. I'm sure nobody is actually going to care if they miss out on asking a question.
