I've noticed more and more posts saying "that's a bad time" or "I can't make it to that" when I plan it out more than 2 weeks ahead of time. Why is it bad? Real life does interrupt yes, that's understandable. But how about instead of complaints you post what would be ideal for you?

He said that everyone complains that the time of events doesn't work for them, and asks that instead of complaining, they tell him what would be a good time.

Keep in mind that you will not be able to please everybody. We are all in different time zones, so someone will be at school(work, sports, 'activities') at most times of the day.

Well, the ideal solution is to organise multiples of the same event. The bills will mount to piles though.

The real improvement would be to display a list of timezones for each event, do not rely on users to calculate their times. Also when listing timezones, do so in a format such as:

5.00pm EST (United States East Coast: New York, Washington, Boston)

so there's no confusion involved. And if you're really going to use a standard time, GMT or BST are the best picks.

yea i missed the hide n seek becuase i dont get the whole time converter thing

what there should be is have a poll and see what time is best for the most ppl like 1 week before the event or something

This is a solid idea, I'll start posting the full list more often.

How nice. You have not told me why the idea was rubbish. If you read carefully, I did not approve of my idea. All you're telling me is dismissing my idea was the worst idea ever. So according to you, it was a great idea to organise multiples of the same event.

The idea was to allow people who was busy on the day of event to have a go on it. The event would be hosted for a few times then the one who completed the event in the fastest time would get the prize. This doesn't work because someone could simply cheat by getting the answers, making the event uneffective. Events would also be limited to a category.

Yet if there aren't enough competitors, there would be no point in having the event as the prizes are easily won.
