Quizzes & Puzzles Rules
48 Answers
Good Morning All,
I hope everyone is well.
Currently we are drafting the new Quizzes and Puzzles posting rules for the new AnswerBank - we thought it might be best to ask everyone here what exactly they'd like to go in this document.
It will act as a set of posting guidelines for anyone posting in the Quizzes and Puzzles section - what do you need to help someone out with their Quiz or Crossword?
All the best,
Spare Ed

Which Quiz/Puzzle in Heading Title
Which Clue the Poster is stuck on, with as much info as possible i.e No of Letters in Answer required.
If the Question has been asked before and a Correct Answer given, then there should be some means of Reference to indicate when/where Answer was given.
Those receiving Answers should be courteous and indicate with Stars/Thanks ( Most people do)
Some people Post Questions throughout the Site on various Topics but when they receive Replies they never acknowledge the fact and you do not hear from them again.
Keep up the Good Work, Mr.Ed !!

Sorry Spare Ed ... having used the Q&P section for several years now, I can say with a fair degree of certainty, that it is far simpler for the person answering to be able to see all of the questions posted under one umbrella.
Currently we have to continually transfer from one section to another, often to see identical questions posed, as those posting questions do not realise their query has already been answered on t'other section!! ;O)

I think the blank letters in the clues should be shown by a ? as a dot or a line is difficult for us older solvers to read.
I agree that the Q&P and crosswords should be combined even though space will be at a premium at busy times, and that is why I propose you instructing posters to not start a new post with the sole purpose of Chatting.
The exchange of greetings is fine within the answers of the post but there are people , especially on Sundays, the busiest tim, who insist on making a separate post asking their friends what they had for lunch etc.
This type of correspondence should be on Chatterbank and not bunging up Q&P!
Thanks

Do not allow the heading local quiz
OK its local to them but it is probably a quiz that lots of people have so sticking to the correct name of the quiz and adding closing date would maybe also stop those whose only purpose is to answer as many as possible in day and say I dont care when it ends when some of us do
