So don't use the site to answer the quiz but feel free to advertise your quiz on it?! Hmmm....

[quinie]

"Strictly no asking clues...." I think that'll put people off buying the quiz

[squarebear]

I just think it is so cheeky that people advertise their quiz here for free and then say don't use the site that they have just advertised on!

[quinie]

You have a point there,squarebear.

[owllady]

I quite agree squarebear I have stopped buying this quiz because of that and I know of two friends that have done the same

[cozzer]

i wont be buying it either,as if it ws,nt the help i recieve from peeps off this site ,i would not be able to do any ,,

[cozzer]

afterall its the luck of the draw

[Baldric]

So, I pay £1 minimum to enter, I can't use AB, and if I win I'll clear £14, no thanks, not worth the effort!!
:o(

[guilliebrougues]

we all need help with questions at some time and i do not think anyone can have the nerve to advertise their quiz and make restrictions. No wonder the quiz is still available!

[THEMOTLEY1]

You cannot be seerriiioooouuuusssss!!!!

[jim45]

i have also stopped buying the MAGPAS quizzes

It’s a shame more quiz setters don’t say the same thing.

So why not support the charity and submit whatever answers you can work out for yourselves? Why only buy quizzes where you can ask for help? Your attitude would suggest it’s because you aren’t actually that interested in supporting the charity but only in trying to win the prize?

[squarebear]

No the point is that the poster thinks it is ok to advertise the quiz here but is preventing people from using the site.

Compare it to me advertising say, cheap car insurance from Churchill on the Direct Line website and saying don't buy it from Direct Line.

Fortunately, everyone else on the thread apart from yourself agrees with this common sense approach.

If I was the Ab Editor, I would have deleted this thread as soon as it reared its head. I am always happy to support the Answerbank by helping anyone who posts questions to either this or any other quiz here.

[quinie]

I would never stop buying quizzes just because of the strictly no asking for clues/answers request.I do think however that some questions are really difficult and don't see why clues can't be asked for perhaps within a week or two of the closing date.I'm a quizaholic and try them for the challenge and not solely for the chance of winning-and to support the different causes. My only complaint or suggestion would be that the closing date shouldn't be too far ahead- four or five months is a bit too long .I'd say 2-3 months max is long enough.

[Baldric]

quinie, I think you're missing the point,
see squarebears reply at 1057 today ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[quinie]

Yes,Baldric,you're right. Sorry, I got on my soapbox!! I agree with squarebear. Hopefully the quizsetters will too.

[smouse]

Hopefully she wont
Dont worry squarebear I hadnt vanished just missed the thread

[quizmouse]

Sorry folks, this problem raises its ugly head again.... but the majority of supporters of the charity and my quiz prefer me to stipulate this. The point is if you cant or are unable to complete the quiz, then why not send it in unfinished. What's wrong with that? I don't see how you can claim to be a winner of anything if its not all done by you. To me its simply cheating, so I will continue to put that stipulation in my quizzes, they still sell, it pleases most people, we raise lots of money for MAGPAS and that's all that matters.
Just as a point of interest, at least one of the 'moaners' above who claims not to buy my quizzes any more - still does!!!, so what's the point in worrying.
I am not suggesting that you cant use the site, I still do, but am only asking that you don't ruin my quiz for those who would like to do it all themselves.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone who does and will continue supporting it, and clearly enjoy the challenge and are prepared to admit defeat and send in their papers with their own answers often unfinished.
