| Rules
For ease of access, these are the quiz rules, copied over from the old thread, which is now closed:
These are the rules:
1.Questions must be about any aspect of WWII. This can include the origins of the war and the aftermath.
2.Who ever answers the question correctly first can ask the next question. The person setting the question will state whether answers are correct in the first instance, but if they fail to do so within 24 hours, the quiz supervisor or moderator will invite the person who answered to post a source and decide if the answer is likely to be correct (they may invite opinions at this stage).
3.Google searches (or any other search engine) are allowed.
4.Make sure that the questions you ask are accurate. Both the person setting the question and the person answering it must be able to provide a source if required by any member.
5.If a question is not answered correctly in three days, the questions poster has 24 hours to ask another question. Addition 26/11/04, effective 27/11/04: If the poster has not asked a new question after 24 hours, anyone can ask a question.
5A. Posted 12/8/05, opearative 13/8/05: At any time when there is no current answer to a question, the poster can withdraw the question (and post the answer), in which case the quiz is open to the first member to post a new question, other than the poster of the withdrawn question.
6.If the poster's second question is still not answered correctly after three days, anyone can ask a question.
7.Once a question is answered, and verified as correct by the person who set it, the person who answered the question correctly has 48 hours to ask a new question. If a new question is not asked in the allotted time, then anyone can ask a new question.
9.In the event of any dispute over the accuracy of a question or answer, you can take it up with the quiz supervisor or the moderator, who shall decide the issue (but please remember that the quiz is for fun). If the question remains in doubt at this stage, the quiz supervisor or the moderator may post it as a topic for debate on the relevant forum and open the quiz for a new question.
10.After completing the turn, the last person to ask a question must wait 24 hours after the posting of the next question before answering, to give others a chance to win.
11.The quiz supervisor can modify the rules to the quiz at any time, but the change will not come into effect for 24 hours after it is posted.
12.The quiz supervisor is the member who started the quiz until such time as it is agreed that another member takes over.
13. New rule 26/11/04, effective 27/11/04. As long as you follow the rules, you do not have to wait for the quiz supervisor's permission to get on with the quiz - and have fun!
14. In the case of any conflict between these rules and the version shown in the first post of the old quiz topic, these rules, as amended from time to time, are the current authorised version.
