Doing a quiz by any chance?

[gary baldy]

Can anyone name the poster who has just put up loads of individual questions that are straight out of a quiz?

[drchasuble]

Brendascot. It is a touch annoying isn't it?

[gary baldy]

Thats it!
Thanks drchasuble - i couldnt work it out from the fif-bloomin-teen times they posted!

[drchasuble]

They should be in Quizzes & Puzzles

It really gets on my tits. I trawl around in Art & Lit because I actually want to answer some Art & Lit questions and not some 'free with the Sunday Mirror' quiz cr4p.

In spite of us asking them to put them in one post and in the correct category....and not a peep ...not even a thankyou !

[drchasuble]

Well I say in future we should all give the wrong answers.
It's true that they never say thanks and are we going to get a share of that �50 from the Radio Times Crossword prize? I don't think so.

[shaneystar2]

I don't mind answering anyones questions and spend a lot of my time on here in Q&P myself . I answer lots of peoples extremely difficult cryptic crossword clues and some never bother to thank you. Lets be fair ,all the questions this person asked can easily be found on Google but I can't be like some and just say "Google it ! "
If they have taken the hint and do post in Q&P they will get short shrift on there if they bung the pages up !!

I nearly got banned over the marlboro quiz people they drove me mental and they were so rude.

[Peter Pedant]

my turn ! My turn !

The thing that irritates me is the kids running in and just typing in their prep questions

LIke , why should we study history ?
name six causes of the American War etc

PP

[shaneystar2]

Ha Ha Peter ..there's one on here somewhere with a list of ancient Greeks as long as your arm and wanting to know their roles in society and what fate befell them !!

Please don't mention the M word nox !!

They are creeping back into Q&P as I type .It must be nearing the end of the contest .....

They were everywhere..And we were proved correct .Only here to get their answers and never to be seen again. I had a spectacular slanging match with one of them !

[Argee2]

So did I, Shaneystar, in Q&P. In fact , I had one of my answers removed by the Editor, (and I was not really rude).

[shaneystar2]

I remember it well Argee ..I got answers removed . One of them was a complete (insert word of your own choice begining with B ).
It's true though. These people just want answers and make no contribition whatsoever to the rest of the site once they have what they want.

I must admit, I'm more and more inclined not to answer questions that are clearly quiz questions or someone's homework.

You actually learn and retain a lot more if you actually go out onto the web (or, dare I say, into the library) and make the effort to research these things yourself. It's fun, too.

[gary baldy]

Like people have said, in the time it takes to type in one question in here and then wait for answer you could have googled 15 questions and got the answers.
Its not like they were challenging questions either like 'What was the name of the actor who played the slave, third from the left seventeen rows back in Sparticus" or anything.

[drchasuble]

So Gary Baldy Who was the actor who played the slave third from the left, seventeen rows back in Spartacus!?

[sg]

I played the slave third from the left, seventeen rows back in Spartacus!

[tinkywinky]

No I played the slave third from the left seventeen rows back.
