Are Quizzers Becoming Lazy?

[QuizmasterG]

I have noticed that more questions are being asked on quizzes with two, sometimes three, months to run.
Are people becoming lazy and letting others do the work?, or is it a case of I must finish it NOW because my life is so busy!
The prizes are hardly life-changing so I doubt financial reasons are the cause.
I am just curious to have an insight into this, so please hold back on the abuse if possible.

Just clicked on one quiz out of curiosity and the poster is asking for 7 answers to a quiz that doesn't end until 30/11! Surely the whole point of a quiz is to use your brain? I gave over doing our local Cancer quiz because so many people just 'googled' the answers. I just donate the money instead.So to answer the question,I think quizzers must be getting lazier.

I only asked out of curiosity to see if any of the early askers answered the question, but they are obviously too busy.

How do you know I don't care about this issue.
Are you a quizzer ? or just a high horse climber?

QuizmasterG, Apart from the Rainbow Charity puzzle (which appears to be the untouchable holy of holies) I’m neither in particular, but so often here I’ve seen people deterred from asking questions by those who consistently either tell them they shouldn’t be asking, advise them to go to ‘the other’ site, where incidentally, they’re also told they shouldn’t be asking, or are merely met with ‘Plenty of time yet’, or words to that effect. It’s not me who’s the high horse climber.

That said, I know someone who can’t put the Rainbow quiz down until he’s finished it. It goes everywhere with him. Drives him potty. I think he might be an early asker – and I can understand why.

[QuizmasterG]

Ok.
I only asked.

This 'other place', what is it?

Stopped doing the rainbow quiz ages ago.
No point in thinking about it when you can wait a week or so and have all the answers spoonfed on the Crossword solver site.

Quizmonster, that's exactly the point I'm making. If you didn't look at the threads here or on the other site, you wouldn't be having the answers spoon fed to you. If you don't want to see the answers why look at all?

Cheers Naomi, I have that saved already, thought there was something juicy on the go. :-)

"it’s not up to anyone here to decide when questions may or may not be asked "

I assume it is not up to anyone here to decide where I should and shouldn't look.
Not seeing a problem or looking at it doesn't mean it isn't there, in any walk of life.

QuizmassterG, //I assume it is not up to anyone here to decide where I should and shouldn't look. //

Absolutely not - but if you consider answers to be a problem, remember that it was your choice to look.

Answers aren't a problem.
I usually find the people involved to be the problem, same as any other aspect of life.
Interesting debate, thank you all.
Goodnight all.
