Hold, are you editing your post?

I did, yes. Is this not permitted on this particular quiz?

I did, yes. Is this not permitted on this particular quiz?

If you make an error, strike through it, then make a new post, just in case someone else is posting an entry at the same time

 

[Trainfan344]

Thought I'd play a Hold in accordance with the Rules, so we don't end up breaking the quiz back down into mayhem.

A fair point. I did try my utmost to restore this quiz back to normality following the recent breakdown over the weekend :roll:

No, Rich, if you are beaten too it, A hold must be called and then the person who made the post has an hour to edit it or else it becomes open for everyone, there was a big debate over this a few days ago which resulted in a change in the rules.

I've clarified the situation in the rules. It becomes open if I have declared the post to be void and no new submission has been made by the original post within an hour. If a hold is called then the caller of the hold and the original poster should reach agreement over the validity of the post and if necessary the original poster should submit a new move. The caller of the hold may release the hold at any time by calling a Resume. If there is no agreement or the original poster does not respond to the hold then I will make an adjudication on the issue. No further moves should be posted during a hold until a resume is posted either by myself or the caller of the hold.
