Thanks, I just joined yesterday so I had no idea, but I wanted to play fair and give props to competitors who deserve it :p with some luck my answers will be worthy of receiving points so I can also give to others.

Hello @Ellotris Guardian, it's come to my attention that some of the recent entries seem to be done with AIs, which I'd have nothing against if AIs actually provided a correct answer but that doesn't even seem to be the case. But if it were the case that an answer was correct, how would the detection of AI answers be taken into consideration in the terms of the contest? I've not noticed any comment about it.

Hi @Andarer
As per the selection criteria in the contest rules, the quality and correctness of answers are a major factor for this contest. If you've spotted an incorrect answer, you are more than welcome to comment on it - see https://www.tibiaqa.com/answering-incorrect-answer

Comments

From time to time I watch what is happening on TibiaQA because I appreciate this fansite very much. Let me give a private opinion regardless of whether the contest answer is good or not. Taking part in the contest by a person who won the previous edition of Question Revival Contest but was disqualified by abuse / cheating is really embarrassing. It's like Lance Armstrong coming back to the cycling competition and pretending that everything is fine. It may sound inappropriate but I wish you bad luck in the contest.

If I don't manage to win anything, that's fine.
I already got used to that many contests before.
Great feedback from kind people who enjoyed my article is reward itself.
Wish you will get judged by people not knowing anything about you or some particular situation as well.
Anyway take care, mate.

How is that person not life-time banned from all TibiaQA contests - is a true mystery.

I personally don't think the fact that this guy was DQd earlier should always mean that person should never participate, but looking at the answer that was given in this question, while it's an impressive "article", it doesn't really feel like an answer. When takling answering questions in a q&a forum, I feel like the answer should be definite and clear, in this case the article doesn't really answer the question, it's more of a "tibiasecrets" type article.

Then again, in my eyes the entry should be judged based on its quality and not on its entrant, and for me it's a good quality article, but not a good answer.
