It's possible, but I kind of felt like a cheater once I started to answer my own questions.This might lead people to create questions and answer them just to raise themselves up in the leaderboards. What do you guys think?

I would prefer a system that is set up in a way so you can't answer questions that you submitted, but I don't know if everyone else feels that way too.

I felt a little like cheating too... but my own questions just came up, and I didn't want to lose my streak. But it would be better if we couldn't.

I felt a bit bad, but they came up naturally, so I often had no choice.

I asked Coonce about this and he said when he gets back to working on Trivia, we won't be able to answer our own questions.

How many people on this website have a percent-correct of over 50%? The trivia is more for fun, for most people, than for competition. I like coming across my own trivia, it's like seeing your own contribution to something being utilized (even if the user is currently yourself.)
