| I made a comment earlier this week on the 'things that are white' quiz which alludes, somewhat, to the issues raised in this interesting comments section. The scope of Sporcle has broadened significantly since I started playing (in the region of 4 years ago) and to that end, I genuinely believe the site would benefit hugely if it were to edit the ratings system slightly so users could avoid quizzes like this, should they wish, or if it was their penchant they could gore on them. 3 different ratings - for example "overall" "speed" and "difficulty" - then integrating the ratings into the categorisation system would allow for easy access to the specific 'style' of quiz you wanted. Personally, I like to challenge myself with difficult, slow quizzes (due in no small part to the quality of my typing) - I would love to be able to put those parameters into the Sporcle search, and avoid rushed, manic quizzes like this (although I concede there is obviously a decent demand for them). I just wanted to note those few words down, whilst they were fresh in my mind. |
