[A.Guest]

detective . . .You obviously do not read the replies to your previous questions.

This is a question from Great Brain Quiz, and the setter has requested that his questions are neither asked or answered on this site.
Please respect this.

2. lodge (with all the others you can prefix "T" to form other words)

Well done A. Guest. I'm sure that you are the AB Editor so why don't you ban these people. It took me ages to look for these answers in books.

[shannee]

The setter may 'request', but I doubt if there is any legal obligation?

AB is a free site and questions may be asked / answers may be given.

There is no room for censorship .... by a few

{I hope that the new Ed is NOT A. Guest .... expressing 'hidden views'}

[johnny.5]

also is it only answerbank that they can't ask or is it all similar sites too ?

[shannee]

good point johnny.5

though I don't like the sheep's clothing approach by 'detective' .....

if you are going to ask, then have the ba$$s to refer to GBQ

[DaiFawkes]

For the sake of sanity, if you can't work out these easy questions for yourself, please do not place them on a site where they can be answered publicly. If you can't handle this type of quiz, please find a simpler one. There are plenty about.

[Tallulah!]

The Question is in GFQ.
Yes , entrants are asked to not ask anywhere that leaves the answers, correct or wrong, for all to read.
It's annoying to google a few key words to be directed to the AB where detective is obviously not living up to his name.
There are more than a few who object to hard quizzes being spoilt. See yesterday!
