HQ Trivia Game

@Thumperchick Yeah, the only HQ trivia we care about here is when HQ2 will have their print shop ready so someone could buy catshirts.

(Zap the link, perhaps?)

@shahnm this is a pretty old post, but here’s the “rules” as I understand them (unofficial, this is all my opinion):

• Referral links without disclosure are a no-no
• Links unrelated to the discourse at hand, generally dropped on us by some drive by person, also no
• Disclosed referral code or links, usually by participating members of the community, can generally fly

I think this passed the sniff test: a known community member, a straight up link, and a request that if you use their referral code they get a stated benefit. Use of the referral is optional here as well.

I think this is a big gray area… The community is pretty lax on content so we don’t want to just slap everyone who posts a referral, but we also don’t want the forum to be full of begging “hey, use my link” posts. I think at the current level, when something novel comes out, spreading the word and including the opportunity to be rewarded for doing so isn’t that bad if it’s done in a straightforward, non-spammy way. Even better if the reward is a two way reward for the referrer and the referree. (That’s a different person than the one in the black and white striped shirt.)
