Category: Zone BBS Suggestions and Feedback
I just created my first quiz last night. I thoughtit was well-done, but after I posted it a friend took it, and pointed out a few mistakes which I later saw for myself. It seems that there is neither a way to go back and edit a quiz you've written, nor a way to delete it and repost it. Am I overlooking somethng? Could some sort of edit button be added?
Thanks
The zone seems to have a policy on not allowing you to edit or delete things (I think the only thing you can delete is an audio profile if you post one). The reason behind this is that in the real world, you can't edit/delete what has already been said/done. While I think this can work on the boards and on graffiti, I think you should be able to edit/delete things such as quizzes, blog posts, events etc.
But the quiz system along with the blog and events features are what I call "abandoned features". These features have simply been thrown in for the hell of it and really need a lot of work doing to them to make them at least half decent. For this reason plus the fact that the admins appear to have abandoned the zone, no-one uses these features anymore. If lots of people started using these features, then the admins would be more likely to improve them (providing the admins ever come back).
Honestly, I haven't even heard anyone mention the quizzes, for years. You have a point though.
Thanks everyone. Yeah, it's really disheartening to see forums and other online spaces where the creators don't really seem to care much about it's presentation.
The only down side to editing quizes that I can see is that a spiteful quiz writer might edit a quiz just after someone had taken it, in order to make their previously correct answers incorrect. A sollution for this would be to set a time limit on editting. On another forum that I'm a member of, you get something like a half hour or 45 minutes after you submit a post in which to edit it.
yes i agree there needs to be away to edit the quizzes and bing able to remove blog entrys would not be abad idea ither
I also think you should be able to at least edit blog entries after posting them, if nothing else. Yes. I do think you should be able to edit your quiz, but I also agree that that there should be some sort of time limit as to how long you have to do this.
