I just made a FAQ quiz. My intention is to make a prototype we can use to avoid confusion, misinterpretation, or even quarrels between users or within the forums.

FAQ QUIZ!

There is an actual prize after you finish the quiz, it is actually a proper prize, you will not be disappointed by it =D.

Please leave feedback about the quiz, what should I add, or anything at all so that I may make it better next time.

Godspeed forum dwellers!

Ps;/ The idea was actually brought up by another user but I forget what his account's name is. We were in a group discussion about rules and guidelines applied to giveaway puzzles and he suggested such a great idea. If you see this, please let me know so I can give you some credits :D

Bonus: I want to share some good music with you guys. Sorry if the song is too "soothing" to some of us, but I think he did a great job performing this track. Enjoy

the quiz is over, we already have a winner for the giveaway. thanks for participating in this prototype of mine. I will improve it better next time.

I've been here a while and know the site rules fine, but have no idea what you want for Q 3 and 4. "Signed in"? "Logged in"? "An account"? All don't work. And Q 5's answer is wrong, as you can check here.. For 9, why is "mark it as received" or "make a support ticket" not a valid answer? Or "make a thread about it" / "post on the forums"? No idea what to answer.

Yeah, same problems. Check your puzzle next time, we can't read your mind.

That's why I need feedback, please be as specific as Ansatsunin, sth like "we can't read your mind" really does not help me at all.

Same things as him. Next time try to copy and paste things from the FAQ/Forum so no one will have problems

for number 9, there are so many ways to express those answers that you said, that's why I stated in the hint what kind of answer that I want. I did think about them too but a multiple choice question would be much better than the kind of question on itstoohard.

For number 5, how can it be wrong? did you also count CG, who is the admin not a mod or a support? or should I count him too?

For number 3 and 4, it's really hard for me to not say the answer. Did you already see the hints?

You can enter multiple possible correct responses per question. The quiz is impossible like this.

that I do know, but I have been having the problem of people using another expression for the term I'm looking for. Unless it's a super general term that I cannot use it as an answer. I did scale down the answer to a two-lettered answer.

Then you should say so in your question. Always state clearly what format you want your answer in. Especially such an open ended one.

"QQ" was the first thing to come to mind. But that's not the right answer, either.

The quiz is more a "let's try and guess what the correct answer might possibly be from an endless list of possibilities" than a "let's check users' knowledge of the rules".

... The answer isn't two letters. It's two words. You said "? ?". Not " " or something else that would suggest 2 words, like saying "something something", which you did use earlier in the quiz. Very confusing.

Of course you should count cg. He's also part of "support". How would it even make sense to not count him?

As for the hint? "Is the question too vague? Well here's a hint: a normal user reports are sent to CG only"?

That's not only untrue (what's a "normal user" even?), but makes no sense nor gives me any hint what answer you want.

Reporting users directly from their page sends a cg-eyes-only report iirc.

His question was:

"To actually submit a ticket to supports you need to have..."

All you need is a mouse and a click on "Support" on the top right of the friggin' page.

what you said is correct but since the page you gave me makes a distinction between support, mod, and admin then so should my answer. I honestly see your logic, and I will make 9 an alternative answer.

9 is the only right answer. CG also handles support issues on the site directly.

No idea what the answers to 3 and thus 4 are.
Also for 9, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't jump off a tall building at this point but that wasn't correct either. :(

If there is another person saying my number 9 was too hard or impossible to get, I will give everyone the answer.

If the general population said that my whole quiz is too hard, I will make it shared answers.

It's not even about being hard, there's just a million different answers that are all correct and we can't guess which ones you thought of. :P

Wait what, you need sg-plus to submit a ticket? Is a ticket different from a regular support question then?

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

???

You don't need SG+ to submit a support ticket. That's entirely not true. That wouldn't even make sense. That would mean that a basic, core site functionality required you to first install a user-made browser addon.

All you need to do is click "support" on the top right of the page. Or "Report User" on someone's profile, if you're specifically talking about a user report.

What I meant was to submit a ticket to the supports people, you need steamgifts plus.

Maybe you still have the idea that CG is also in the support commission of SG. I should have made it clearer.

Comment has been collapsed.

.. He is support also. And again, that's not true. When you make a ticket, it goes to the support queue. Any member of support can see it. And that goes for both user reports, as well as other forms of tickets.

She was referring to the "Report User" button.

Right. Noted. Bit illogical. But as jatan11t also hints at, a ticket means any kind of ticket - not necessarily a user report. A user report is a form of ticket, but a ticket doesn't need to be a user report.

What? You are completely incorrect. In order to submit a User Report that can be seen by people other than CG you need the addon, but not regular support tickets.

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

no problem, I should have stated it in the first place.

exploited keys could mean the developer gave away the game for free in a period of time (for example: arma 3 or Penny Arcade's on the rain....3)

Just check the list in the FAQ ;)
