Then I'd have a feedback thread for not having clear/easy to understand questions.
It's a TV channel, so it's about TV. ''What does BBC stand for?'' would also be TV..

Like I said before, why not make it a rule then? Or ask the SNQ host to send the questions to GM as well? That way like 5 people could have an opinion about it.

probably because GMs dont want to follow staff to make sure they don't lack common sense and actually want them to do work instead of baby feeding them everything

You know the way you say that spelling shouldn't count because we could just ''understand'' what someone meant? Well, in my point of view, this way, you don't had to be extremely knowledged about other facts (even if they pretty much were), and you could still have a chance to win. That's why I think themed SNQs will be fun and good to do, so other people can win, even if they aren't brilliant enough to know everything about GK.

well evidently your idea of fun is not shared amongst any other member

or we can plead someone with common sense to fire you or tell you that you're crap and do it properly

---------- Post added 24-11-2012 at 08:41 PM ----------

No it won't, it'll ensure the few other people who have the same obsession or whatever as you have a chance of winning, and those who done well in the 16 GK questions don't.

---------- Post added 24-11-2012 at 08:42 PM ----------

or just use common sense in future when making questions

First: I had two winners, one male, one female. So not sure how I'll do that.
Second: Insulting me makes you happy? Go ahead, whatever makes you sleep better, as I just don't care what someone who doesn't even know me thinks about me. It's the way I sleep better as well. Win-win.
Third:As I said before, I have a winner that did well in the 16 other questions so.. there you go.
Fourth: Everyone who doesn't win always complains so what for?

Yes, because what, you're the only person in the world? Yeah, no, I wasn't talking about yourself only. My world luckily doesn't turn around your person.

Music Television is not Television? Oh, that's new. But whatever.

*Removed*

you fail to acknowledge that you're completely wrong and every other person posting in the thread is still trying to tell you that you are.

Yeah because googling and then entering the answer is just as fast as someone who watched every film and read the book and knows the stuff off by heart... oh wait?

evidently not as you asked 2 questions regarding alcohol, I don't drink and know very little on the subject yet I never chose to complain about that did I?

I'd also like to say that question about alcohol was a bit silly considering the target age group.

First I'd like to say that the target age group is 13+ so I don't see how it was silly since you can start drinking around that age and at least most people I know have. I actually thought about making it about daquiri, but didn't know if you knew it. Here we drink a lot of cuba libre, so I thought you would too.

Second, that's exactly my point. Like I said before why do you need to know so much about GK to win SNQ? This way always the same people will win, which I don't think it's fair. But for example the Robert Pattinson question, most people knew it and answered quickly. Also I had no idea the leaderboard would get so tight and no one would have more than 3 questions right before the last topic. Hasn't happened to me before.

And you're the one continuing this debate that goes round and round, so I guess you do. Google ethos by the way, it's philosophy. And if you think this, then people could complain that questions about the US, are biased against people who aren't from the US, etc.

So according to you, all themed SNQs will have an unfair host? I asked if we could do a themed one tonight, and the answer I got was no, I took it. Also tell me when I changed my actions half way through, please? At the beginning of the quiz I said they were 4 about Twilight (check with Kyle if you want because he quoted it), so don't make up stuff now, please. Also funny thing how could I have changed 16 questions halfway through when I need to first get them checked by managers? And di I create them in what 5 seconds? I'd love to understand how you think I did that. Also it's my fault that many different people knew different questions so they didn't get more than 3 right each? Interesting.

About the bringing up the past thing, I didn't get it. And his name is Forrest, not Forest. That was why. And since in SNQ spelling counts, ''Run, Forrest, run'' is the correct answer.

Also let me know when you see someone with no points winning SNQ within the last 4 questions, even if everyone else has max 3.

In that post you were sexist. Yes others have but I was quoting you at the time that's why I noticed yours.
I'd complain if there were a lot of US based questions as we are mainly a UK based site afterall.
No, if it was themed in general, regardless who hosts it, it will appear unfair; say the next 4 weeks were themes such as Disney, Twilight, Habbo, etc. that's not considering everyone hence a balance is needed.
No earlier you mentioned something about narrowing the themed questions down to 2, if you meant something else then sorry about that.
I didn't say you changed 16 questions did you? I meant by the 16th question it was down to 1 theme, you said yourself that ANYONE could win? Then you contradict yourself by saying tell me when someone has won in the last 4 questions, what?
You said about spelling when someone understands it, which I said weeks ago and not in this thread thus bringing up the past.
Also no, 'Run, Forrest, Run' wasn't the correct answer, it could have been run forrest run etc as you did say punctuation didn't matter.

Yes, because what, you're the only person in the world? Yeah, no, I wasn't talking about yourself only. My world luckily doesn't turn around your person.

Insulting idiots sometimes makes me happy, although that's more of a point than insult

Apparently not I rarely see SNQ complaint threads anymore? so..

You stated 'they were only bothered because they didn't win like every other week' or something along those lines, and as I made the complaint it's obvious i'm going to assume it's directed at me.

in future stick to papoy and leave SNQ up to members of staff with some common sense.

Ethos again, so lovely. Even makes me want to comment on it more.
I am not even sure why I even bother since if you enter the HxHD after the SNQ, people will complain. It's Habbox..

The legal drinking age in England is 18, I believe it's also 21 or 25 in the US and most times people have left by then; if you want to discuss alcohol why not go on the Spanish Hotel as their legal age is 14 if I remember correctly. The drink one could have been better; it didn't have to be alcoholic really, nor did 4 questions have to be about Twilight and such.
