...it's a pretty crappy thing to do when the people running trivia are modifying Wiki before and after questions are asked.

No it's not perfect for information searches but to purposefully modify the content  for only 5 minutes is just WRONG!

Yes, it is. It's as wrong as it gets.

It's called cheating. And I guess the ones who are negatively affected by it can still look themselves in the mirror and like who they see.

Unlike the cheaters.

I like to be right, but there is absolutely no use in being wrong but convincing others that you are right ... I'd rather take a lump if I goof up or get confused.

The outer boundary of what we currently believe is feasible is far short of what we actually must do.

Huh?

After I posted, One of the team decided to create a Wiki account, and track things.  Each and every question was being temporarily modified.  

One of the questions was "Name the product that uses the following as one of it's catch phrases.  Give life a push."

The answer was on wiki, then it dissapeared.  Meg was in under the account and put it back.  It dissapeared once again, so she put it back again and then a phrase was added that had no relationship to the page at all.  You can still find it there.

What does wanting to run a daycare have to do with anything?

Another example:  Question was   "What is was found to be the only weakness of the fictional clan Sushi Pack?'

Here is what wiki states about it now...

Quote:
Respectable Delectables - Apex calls a meeting of all the recurring villains, but can't get any of them to listen to him and figure out a plan to get the Sushi Pack.

Star of Light, Star so Bright -
Titanium Chef reveals the Pack's weakness: hot temperatures.
Since Wasabi glows in the dark, Tako calls on him to train them in night fighting, and Wasabi lets this cloud his judgement, accidentally ruining Ben's chance at taking The Green Donut worldwide.


When I was looking it up, it stated the weakness as being ":fighting in the dark:

Not moments after calling in our answer, the page refreshed and you see what was replaced. 

Now look at the bottom of the page for the time and date it was last edited.  This took place before Austin created his account.  Its what tipped us off to the scam.
