Answered Kirstree's Question

Question
I would like to ask why player ls can't answer questions anymore since sometimes players answer faster than staff do which means the other player gets a decent answer even if it isn't 100% accurate, it is also pulling away another chance to prove you have knowledge of PartyZone, which is needed to helper appilcations. If the answer that the player gives is incorrect you can just remove it.

Staff are now only allowed to answer questions because of incorrect responses, but also because people would respond questioning each other and filling up the entire thread with pointless back and forth responses. It's now only able to be answered by staff so it's much easier for the user to be able to get the answer they needed, rather than having to sort through the entire thread to get information that is needed. Here's an example of a thread going back-and-forth;

Person A: What's team killing?

Person B: It's when you randomly kill the murderer
Person C: No, it's when you randomly kill innocent bystanders with a gun
Person D: I thought it was when you killed the murderer?
Person C: No, it's not

And it keeps going back and forth. If you were a new player asking a question, and you got flooded with responses that were wrong and/or have little or no information in it and you had to dig through responses just to figure out which one is right, you're more likely to get it wrong and be extremely confused about the rules and the question you were asking. While you are right and normal users are not always wrong, and usually get there before staff, it's much easier just to wait for a staff member to do this, as staff are normally the people that get updates on rule changes and know behind the scenes things, like crashes or the server being down.
