Bug with quizzes takes

Submitted by BautyArg on July 22, 2025

I must report this:

-When you create an quiz and play it, you can write an answer and surrender. Your stadistics doesn't sum up with the average ones; but what does sum is your own attempt with the general ones. So if you start, surrender and re-start you can get infinite takes on your own quiz!

This is obviously a bug, not a feature.

Not a bug.

Why it would be a feature?

That means that I could play my quizzes 10k times each and fake all my stats

I'm not quite sure I understand if you're referring to (1) how taking a quiz twice (even if you surrender) counts as two takes or (2) if when you take a quiz a second time the stats don't change.

But in regards to (2), the stats that show up for any quiz have to do with a user's first attempt at the quiz.

I'm referring to:

-1: Create a quiz

-2: Play it, write an answer and surrender

Your stats won't modify the general stats

-3:Congrats! You now have added a visit on your own quiz!

If this won't get parched, I would play my own quizzes 16 times, just writting an answer, and I would get 16 visits to it...

Yeah, taking a quiz over and over counts as multiple takes (unless you don't answer anything).

But the intent is for that to not affect the answer stats. The answer stats are supposed to reflect a user's first attempt. Otherwise people will be taking quizzes over and over to get the 5/5 points, but then the answer stats will be too high (making it very difficult to earn points on featured quizzes).

I think he’s worried that people very very worried about quiz takes will take their quizzes over and over and over to get the number higher. I’d say… let those people have their slightly higher number. Clearly, they need to feel something in their life, and if that number makes them feel good, who are we to say self quiz taking isn’t ok? Also, I can’t imagine people spend all day taking their own quizzes.

Oh, I see.

If you try to boost your own take count and we catch you we will just ban you and delete your quizzes. It's very easy to detect.

And, yes, this has happened in the past.
