Prologue
Hello, this is Gademotsili99 speaking!
This question has stuck in my head for a long time. What is it that makes a JetPunker being considered good?In this blog I will go over all the possible factors that contribute to a JetPunker's popularity.
Quiz-Making Abilities
I think a very important factor in making a great JetPunker is the prolific quiz-making abilities they might possess, both in creativity and execution, with some even revolutionising the site with ground-breaking ideas!
Of course, with this last sentence some people come to mind who I won't list for the sake of objectivity.
Anyway, with good ideas come many takes, but to be fair, I personally don't think that evaluating people based on statistics on their quizzes is really fair and relevant in this case!
Blog-Making Abilities
Just like great Quizmakers, there are great bloggers! A great blogger is also a debatable term, but I will just say that a great blogger is one with valuable ideas that may have required research and time and deserve success.
I am not sure about how much consistency determines a blogger's quality, so I will leave it out.
Again, a great blogger can get support and recognition by the community in terms of likes and comments, but that's about it.
Respect in the Community
I believe the most important aspect that every good JetPunker must have, regardless of being a quizmaker, quiztaker or blogger or even... chartmaker is to be kind and respectful to the other users! There are many examples of good behaviour and etiquette that JetPunkers have. I think the most common one must be when you are getting told that a quiz has been already done.
What do you do here?
A. Pretend you never heard it
B. Delete it immediately
If you choose A... Well not the best thing you can do
But if you choose B, you will at least make up for the mistake of not even looking at the search bar for a second to look for similar quizzes.
Another situation. When you spot a mistake in a quiz, what do you do?
A. Make bad criticism
B. Comment politely about how something needs fixing
C. Do nothing
A is obviously ironic, and C is also not good enough, as helping is better than doing nothing, in most cases.
Conclusion
In my opinion, a great and respectable JetPunker is one who respects his fellow JetPunkers and is generally helpful in the wider community, helping improve other quizmakers, along with themselves
Now, I most likely have also made some mistakes and I don't pretend otherwise during making this blog.
Anyway, what is your opinion on the matter?
The quizzes and blogs can be good, bad, indifferent or fantastic as long as comments are respectful. We all had to learn somewhere, my early quizzes and blogs aren't the best, but to be honest, I can count the bad comments on one hand.
I hope that I am seen as respectful and helpful where I can.
And because we're behind a fake name profile in a site doesn't mean we are barbarians, thankfully!
And hate is not so common, since the only criticism is constructive
And personally, I think you have been quite helpful for the community, and have an important footprint with your blog series!
My personal thought is that if you treat people with respect, you will get that respect back. Doesn't always work obviously, there are some genuinely bad people out there. Thankfully I think they are still in the minority!
Oh and I need to get back to the blogs soon, I keep procrastinating and watching US crime series on TV instead!
In JP's case, I feel that respect is almost always, in some way or another, paid back, which is great!
This might be because anything unsavoury gets vanished by the moderators, or it might just be our site culture. Or a mix of both. Either way, it's a good thing and we should all make sure to continue behaving civilly in a cyberworld where hatred and bullying are the norm
