Sifting through old quizzes

Submitted by jbro on March 14, 2026
Recently I deleted like 25 quizzes that I made back in 2020. They were garbage and were all copied, although I likely didn't know at the time. I had been holding back from deleting them for a while and had them on private, but I just did it because I was tired of seeing my quizzes be "contaminated" (idk if thats the right word but you get what I mean). I mostly held back because it brought down my overall takes, but whatever, it felt like I had gotten rid of the bad parts of my reputation as a quizmaker.

Has anyone else had this experience?

What do you mean by they were all copied?

I was like 11 and would make stupid quizzes like "capitals of east asia" and stuff like that. I didn't know there were other versions at the time.

Uh, no? My account is too new, ig. And I haven't copied any quizzes (and only one duplicate, that I know of. It's complicated...)

It's good to do a clean-up; I've deleted a few of my own that I felt were pointless. Also, like you mention, it's better not to have multiple quizzes out there which are pretty much just duplicates of each other.

Yep. I have been deleting old quizzes or making them private.

Two of my first three quizzes were already made, but I haven't deleted them since they are completely forgotten and nobody really takes them now.

I also deleted one that people were nominating as a joke, because the quiz itself sucked.

From time to time I have a cleanout, and I've probably deleted quite a lot of old quizzes over the years. If they don't mean anything to me anymore I get rid of them. The most extreme example was a quiz that had once been featured! First it got un-featured - which I thought was bizarre at the time - but then later I deleted it completely. It was something like top-20 most hated celebrities by clue. It was very much of its time, and it felt a little bit mean-spirited. Don't worry about losing overall takes. 'Quality, not quantity' makes me happier as a quizmaker.

I do this occasionally but I always make a copy that I don’t submit because I really wish I still had some of the really goofy quizzes I made when I was 10 and I don’t want that to happen again later

I don't delete my old quizzes. I really tried to make good quizzes when I first started JetPunk, and sure, my 'good' wasn't so good, but I'd rather keep them then have a 'perfect' profile. If not, I at least update them.

Now that I think about it, I'll put some of my old quizzes in a series. That way, people know which one was from like, a year ago or something like that.
