Frequently asked questions about QuizNeko. If your question isn't covered here, please reach out via the Contact page.
1. How do I earn XP?
XP is awarded once per attempt, for its achievement grade — not per question. Points are no longer earned through activity: they are a separate currency you buy, and spend on AI features.
- Taker reward — your grade (1–9) comes from the distribution of scores submitted to that quiz, and the grade table decides your XP. Quizzes with fewer than 30 submissions use an absolute grade based on accuracy instead. Low grades subtract XP, and your balance never falls below 0.
- Author reward — when someone else takes your quiz you earn
0.075 / max(p, 0.25)XP per question, where p is that question's accuracy. Harder questions pay more, and questions answered correctly 90% of the time pay nothing. - Referral milestones — each time someone you referred reaches 50 / 500 / 5,000 lifetime correct answers, you receive +200 XP immediately.
- Referral sign-up bonus — signing up with a valid referral code increases the taker and author rewards you earn for 30 days by 30%.
The full formulas and edge cases are in the rewards policy, and the per-grade XP table is on the scoring guide. Taking your own quiz, and taking one while logged out, earn nothing on either side.
2. How does QuizNeko prevent fraud and abuse?
Several layers protect the integrity of the reward system:
- Anti-bot screening — submissions are evaluated for automation signals (timing, click patterns, device fingerprint, IP). Suspicious attempts are blocked and flagged for admin review.
- Multi-account detection — if the same device, IP, or identity verification is reused across accounts, rewards may be canceled.
- Referral abuse pattern — when a user’s referrals show signs of inorganic or abusive behavior, the referral channel is locked and no further referral rewards are granted. Thresholds are not disclosed, to prevent circumvention.
- AI-assisted moderation — reports and answer-correctness appeals are screened by an LLM before reaching human admins, keeping the queue fair and fast.
- Audit trail — every reward is recorded as a ledger transaction with up to six decimal places. Admins can adjust balances and the history remains visible.
Confirmed abuse results in revocation of earned XP, and suspension or deletion of the account. In severe cases QuizNeko may pursue legal remedies. See the Terms §4 for the full prohibition list.
3. How is the "Recommended" order determined?
The default Recommended sort — used on the quiz list and the home page — is designed to surface quizzes from active, engaged authors. Quizzes are ranked by the following criteria, in order:
- Your language first — quizzes translated into your current language appear above the rest (always on the home page, and on the quiz list when a language filter is applied).
- Active authors — authors who have correctly answered at least 1,000 questions in the last 14 days form a top group; their quizzes come first, ordered by total number of takers. However, questions from your own quizzes are excluded from this count.
- Everyone else — the remaining quizzes follow, ordered by the author's correct answers over the last 14 days, then by total number of takers.
The Latest (newest first) and By takers (most-taken first) sort options are also available and do not use this author-activity weighting.
