Quizzes to do with users

I have noticed a lot of quizzes containing phrases such as "which icon has user never used?" or "where have user never been?" and that is it. This is creating poorly worded quizzes as all of them could change if the user does travel to such a place and says it on here, or they do end up changing their icon to one in the question.

If you would like to create a quiz with this kind of wording, in brackets at the end either put the date (20 June '08) (20/06/08) (June 08) (06/08)...the best one I would recommend to use is "June 08" as the day/month is reverse in countries such as the US and it's short.

Papa wrote a great article on how to make quizzes, which is here, but it seems like not many people are following his great suggestions (although is has been rated a whopping 79 times so people must have read it to know all his suggestions)

So please try if you're creating quizzes like the ones I mentioned, to watch out for any problems happening in the future that may alter the answer. Just add the date.

(I wrote this soapbox here as this is where most of these specific quizzes are being made)

If I ask if a country is a EU member state, then I always remember to add the date. I haven't noticed any users making these mistakes but I'm more busy making quizzes than answering :) posted 2 months ago.

	amazondebs said: yeah i have also noticed people askeding questions that no one could possibly know e.g. if i were to ask "what's amazondeb's dad's name?" because i have never mentioned it here on fanpop how on earth is anyone meant to know that? fair enough if you have commented on it a few times but we're not psychic lol posted 2 months ago.

	dazl said: In complete agreement with you, Snerkie. I don't bother with these questions, to me they are the equivalent of the 'do you like me' picks. posted 2 months ago.

	amazondebs said: lol dazl ^ yeah i think pop quizzes that don't have a time date on are much better posted 2 months ago. last edited 2 months ago
