Question about quiz factory

I wonder how many days it takes a quiz from being submitted to being published or refused. I submitted two quizzes at the beginning of this month but it is still “Pending” after ten or more days??

Alice quizzes often take time to be review because their are so many community members who constantly submitting quizzes. You should try to submit quizzes which are unique and interesting for getting approved but it too takes time. In general new released language has more chance to get approved your quizzes. These question is quite ask so many times use search bar in future for better development of the new q/a section😉 https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/470195/?ref=app

HonFu can be possible as the number of community member who submit quizzes are more than the number of quizzes review to get the reviewrs and community members who review quizzes. So to make process easy and fast community members should start reviewing quizzes if they too review quizzes at time of submission then their is an chance to good quizzes comes up as they get likes by community members. and the badly written quizzes gets down by the community members. Beside that some members just dislike quizzes without knowing or even without reading the quizzes that too down the good quizzes as by getting so many community members dislikes which sometimes need more time for developers to go through that quizzes and review that and if they are good then approve that so it takes time to review downvoted quizzes and verify that the downvote is on correct reason or this should be added to the challenges So contribution of members to required for fast process of reviews and getting quizzes approval fast.

If community members should use their power of upvote or downvote on the quizzes then the process of reviewing quizzes will be faster. And as an quiz get upvote it goes up more upvotes it get review fast. And if any quiz get more downvotes it gone towards decline but not without the review once by developers so they once keep an 👀 on that quiz too so that no quiz get declined if they have valuable content But sometimes heavily downvoted good quizzes too get declined so need to use that power of like and dislikes with care If community members too start reviewing quizzes on their upvotes power then good quizzes with upvotes gets review fast.

If you are talking about the downvote abuse on threads then platinum mods can check that and warned the users if needed if you have dought on any down voting abuse you can take that to MOD team attention for ☑

The process might become more efficient, transparent and fair, if they gave the reviewing and the power to check for abusal in the hands of top mods instead of trying to do it all themselves. Until then... yeah, go with the flow. Which basically means: Post a riddle, forget about it, get surprised six months later. ;-)

GAWEN STEASY, thank you for this detailed explanation! I have become a bit sloppy about reviewing riddles myself, so good to remind me. One question: Is something being done against abusive downvoting? Is a platinum mod occasionally checking in case of doubt and identifying the violators?

That would be an explanation why it takes so long: Upvote, downvote, upvote, downvote, upvote, downvote - with virtually no control if people behave. A riddle could easily get stuck in that loop forever without ever getting high or low enough to even be seen by the jury.

GAWEN STEASY, no, not in threads, I was talking about quiz factory. Because there we can't see if we're massively downvoted, so we also can not ask a mod to investigate. So, in order to prevent downvote abusal in quiz factory, some mods with the fitting permissions would have to check for that on their own initiative. Is this happening?
