The Problem with Scheduling Quizzes

Submitted by Maxibon on August 13, 2025
So I just finished a short quiz to build up on my stockpile so when I am busy, I don't need to worry about finishing a quiz for that month. I planned to release this quiz months into the future, yet someone has gone and released a quiz with exactly the same concept a few days after I finished mine. I always make sure not to release a quiz which is extremely similar to another user's, so this has me conflicted. I think the quiz is different enough since mine has more answers, most of which are different from the other user's. I am more worried about the fact that someone can easily make this concept, before I even release mine, and it will look like it was copied or I took their idea. At the same time I don't want to release quizzes right as they are finished since then I will have to the quiz under the pressure of having to finish it before the first of a month.

In this case, I'll release my quiz since it is different enough, but in future cases, I might not be so lucky.

I would love to here your opinions and some possible solutions to this!

I'm confused, why do you need to wait so long? I usually just schedule mine for peak hours the next day.

I like releasing a quiz on the first day of a month, so during busy periods of my life it's comfortable to have a quiz ready for the following month. It doesn't help that my quizzes take me a week or two to make in most cases due to their length and effort I put in them.

Oh okay, I see. Just realized we have virtually the same stats my friend.

My biggest issue with scheduling is that you can’t schedule updates to a quiz. A lot of the time I’ll update a whole series at once and would rather publish one or two a day so as not to flood people’s notifications but instead I have to remember to go back and do it. That would probably be the only thing I’d use it for anyway

Kind of why I stopped making so many quizzes. Though people have straight up ripped off my quizzes and used the exact same title and thumbnail with slightly different answers and gotten thousands of takes, with no action taken even after multiple reports.
