An experienced veteran should decide which user-generated questions in Triviador go into the game.

As an experienced Triviador verteran myself, I maintain that the current system of question voting and popularity to determine which questions go into the game should be abolished. An experienced Triviador veteran who is open to new challenging questions in a variety of subjects--even those unfamiliar to himself--should have the authority to decide which user-generated questions go into the game. The popular voting method of ratification is faulty because: 1) We have seen that a majority of questions that have entered are very easy in nature and often are common knowledge. Most marginal fans of the game are in it to win it and not to seek extra knowledge so they vote for questions that they can answer so as to win. For example, when the Triv Guy revealed, a few months ago, two questions that won a contest in popularity, there were many complaints in the comments on the fanpage that the questions were very basic and unexciting. 2) Most people who truly love this game will say (you can take a look at some of the Triviador player salutes for examples) that this game opened new vistas of knowledge to them and expanded their horizons. It taught them things that they unexpectedly found useful in other contexts. Saluted players also commonly say that at first the game proved a challenged to them--especially the questions that were unfamiliar--but through perseverance and responding to the challenge, they came through. The popular voting method systemically discourages arcane questions from getting in because for most people the desire to win is greater than the desire to learn; only after struggling for some time do people change their minds on this and realize the benefit these new challenges pose. 3) As per the comments from some players, it has been found that questions having to do with countries with low populations like Armenia are unable to get a lot of questions through simply because most people are not Armenian and would deem such questions either too country-specific (while thinking questions from their own country not to be--like the birthplace of Clinton) or challenging. If we are going to use a user-generated question factory, it makes sense that we accept the contributions from all countries and cultures, especially those who, although small, are very dedicated to this game. 4) There have been several complaints from mid-level players who are familiar with this game but do not yet possess the second-nature knowledge of many of the common questions to compete fairly with 100+ level players that this game has an undue bias towards the experienced people because of the question repetition. I would maintain that because people of all levels are wont to approve questions that they have seen before and also create new questions similar to those already in the game (I have seen questions in the question factory already in the game that merely reword the original questions) we need to entrust question ratification to an expert who knows what questions are already in the game and who works towards putting many new questions in on a regular basis that will not be instantly known to high level players. While this doesn't erase the advantage 100+ players have (as the questions already in the game will still be there), it does make the situation better for everyone--even the vets who mostly appreciate learning new factoids. 5. Not enough questions manage to get through under the current procedure. As the Triv Guy recently pointed out, there are only about 13000 questions in the original Triviador version yet that is nothing compared to the total number of questions submitted into the factory. Most people I have talked to have said that only a small percentage of their questions have made their way into the game. Yes, there will be some questions that clearly do not belong in the game (i.e. because of error, repetition, too-specific, inappropriate) yet I don't think that most experienced players only create questions where 2 percent are worthy to advance. A change is needed.
