Since February our readers must pass a mandatory quiz to comment on our articles. But the world famous quiz has found another use too.
First, some navel–gazing and context.
NRKbeta is the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation’s (NRK) tech-site and R&D-blog. This February we launched a new experiment.
Readers wanting to comment on a story had to pass a mandatory test about the articles content.
Despite other websites abandoning their comments section, ours has mainly remained a positive space the last ten years.
Comments from our audiences have solved difficult problems for us. It has gathered fantastic and crazy ideas from our audience that we have tried out. It’s even helped us hire talented people! In short: a valuable arena we dedicate a lot of time and effort to maintain and improve.
