This isn't a quiz site and the editors don't like people using it as one. To quote :

(Just *please* don't post multiple questions on this site that you've just copied straight from other sites! That's what those other sites are for! -- this one's for questions that people want an answer to!!)

why do you do this Reece1? I seem to remember last time your name popped up you were cutting and pasting questions from another site and posting them here. It's not big and it's not clever, have you actually got any questions of your own this time or are you just going to do the same?

[reece1]

Obo, I don't know how many times I am going to have to say this. These are not my questions, and as I do not have time to sit all day and surf the net I am not an experienced user. I do these quizzes for charity, which if I am not mistaken is a good cause, and there are questions that I cannot answer, even after searching the net. And I don't know which sites you refer to when you say I am cutting and pasting questions from other quiz sites. Can you please stop posting an answer telling me I am using questions from other sites and do I not have any of me own. If people feel I am wasting their time then do not answer my question. Lastly the questions people have answered on this and other sites has exceeded �2000.

[reece1]

Sorry, but the last part of my answer should have read "has exceeded �2000 for charity".

I have never seen you posting any comments about your great work for charity Reece1 so apologies for that, however I distinctly remember you posting a series of questions which were lifted straight from another website (I know this because I cut and paste the questions into google and each one refered to http://familygames.com where the questions appeared word for word) I guess it might be the case that the person who set the "charity" quiz had just copied the questions from there themselves. What further adds to my suspicion is that by copying your latest question into google I was strangely enough refered direct to... you guessed it, the same web site http://familygames.com/features/quizzes/qze/q1.htm
l so perhaps I can save us all some time here and next time you have such a "quiz" instead of posting your questions on here you first go to this site which the compiler of your quizes is obviously plagarising or alternatively go to google type the question in and see where you end up. If this is beyond you then maybe you should investigate enrolling in a basic how to use the internet course or purchase one of the many many books which might help. The reason people get annoyed by others posting multiple quiz questions is that it pushes what are considered to be more valid questions off the "20 most recent questions" list. So again I apologise if you are genuinely trying to achieve something but I think you'll find I am not the only one who gets bugged by this.

Harsh but fair Obo, can't help noticing that Reece1 is suddenly conspicuous by his/her silence....

[Obo]

I rest my case!
