I read the rules, I want feedback from the people reading and contributing to MQOTD.
Was it too soon, was it too clear, is it perceived as just a link to the title or the title itself etc.
Because there must be a border between rule #4 and #5. Which one would my reply be?
A breach of #4 or conforming to #5 ?
I just do not want to spoil other people's fun and being quite new to the lounge I prefer to ask about this.

I reckon this thread is just self-promotion, because you just want to show off that you got the MQ right!

According to the rules, it should be voted as spam!

It is not meant as self promotion, I don't mind if it is voted as spam and deleted.
I just wanted to know if I misunderstood something.

I personally would say
1st guess was superb!
2nd guess, delete the being serious, post it 2 posts later and it looks fine to me

if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Thank you for your response, I am new here so that was the kind of answer I was looking for Smile | :)

In it's original form, dating back to "Opera Aria of the Day" [1783-1846], the contestants would try to be first to get the answer. As the genre evolved [qv Which Music Hall? and Silver Screen Deadfall] the better players took to parodying the less informed by using incorrect, or even fabricated, titles that would none the less show they had the correct answer.

In its modern form, MQOTD has become more of a conduit for humour, an, if you wish, antidote to the forum quiz. Players now each have their own subtle versions of 'answering'. Be it my childish Carry On references or [yet another] Paris movie, the answers are aimed to please rather than inform.

There have even been some classic "I'll give this answer until it's right" approaches; such as Pompey[what ever]'s classic 6 and 1/2 year answer of "The Money Pit".

Hope this helps.

Thank you, this helps a lot.
I am new here so I don't quite get how people will react, that is why I prefer to ask Smile | :)

With vicious satire, thinly veiled insults, up votes and down votes, whining and .... litotes. I think that litotes is the worst.
