Non-stop Trivia?

Non-stop trivia means that you don't have to type !start or !trivia to start a game or !stop to end a game when you have finished playing. Not all trivia rooms think of advertising this feature in their blurbs, and some are confusing by stating 24/7 trivia (when it could mean that the Bot is online 24/7 and you still have to type !start).

PRO:

Well, obviously you're spared the crap of having to type !start to commence playing and remembering to type !stop when you've finished playing. Forgetting to type !stop in some trivia rooms will earn you a banning. So, bearing in mind that you can forget to type !stop for any number of valid reasons it is much better to choose a room with non-stop trivia (or play in a room that is so busy that you hardly notice that it is NOT non-stop trivia, and leave while others are still playing so you're not the last one left to type !stop).

CON:

The addictive nature of trivia means that you may stay longer than you planned to do once you're confronted with non-stop trivia!
