I'm getting suspicious of someone asking a whole bunch of questions. I've answered a few, but now I'm starting to think it may be test questions? How do others handle it when someone asks so many questions?

Thanks,
Linda

label on test questions Aug 29, 2011

Dear Linda,

labeling of certain types of KudoZ questions is required.

Term questions that are either derived from a translation test, or which contain content that may be perceived as offensive by others, should be marked using the checkboxes provided in the posting form.

If you have been working on the same test, and you are certain that the question has not been properly labelled, please contact a KudoZ moderator for further action.

There is a link under the KudoZ question page to call a moderator's attention to a specific question should you believe a rule has not been respected.

Ciao

I've done a test once Aug 29, 2011

and when I was researching a term, I found it on KudoZ with the same context, as in my test. Then I checked further and the asker posted almost all the test as KudoZ questions, not mentioning it is from a test.

You can just filter the asker or ignore his/her questions.

I've seen that before as well, though it was just a few sentences lifted from a longer test.
