AB Ed Quiz or Sport?

[Dudley]

There has been a tendancy recently in the Sports section for people to pose questions they already know the answer to. Surely these should be posted in Quizzes & Puzzles. I thought the main purpose of The AnswerBank was for it to be a public service website giving people an opportunity to discover the answer to problems or providing knowledge that the questioner genuinely wants to know. To gain an answer for a quiz question you need an answer to is one thing but to clutter up categories thinking up questions to pose just for the fun of it is surely quite another. This is a brilliant website, please don't let it be spoiled.

Hi

Our Quiz and Puzzlers are tenacious beings. We ask that all users direct their Quiz related questions to the Q&P category - those that manage to jump the borders can be Reported as being in the "wrong category". When you Report the post, it will then be flagged with me and I will then remove the post to its proper category.

Why would you want such questions to go to quizzes and puzzles? If they are sports question then they belong in the sports section. Just because there are some who post knowing the answer does not mean that the questions should automatically be bounced to quizzes and puzzles! You say yourself that the main purpose of the site was to answer questions from people genuinely wanting to now the answer but how is changing them from one section to another going to stop people from asking questions they already know the answer to? We who spend most of our time in Q and P do not want these questions any more than you do!!!
