I think that says it all. I assume some noob has just made an account and decided to make a quest for a laugh.

EDIT: Oh has it been vapourised???

Good.

Yes I deleted it.

And it was not the first time. It keeps happenings that people enter some quests that are not going to happen. I liked the idea that players can announce their own quests this way, but now I'm less fond of it, seeing that it gets abused this way.

Or maybe the function is simply missunderstood.

Maybe if you make them go through the GMs before they go through it'd work better, as with character names.

I see no reason for that. The GMs are not always available and when a player wants to make quest - lets say in the next two hours - then he has a problem.

Those little, faked announcements currently are a tad annoying, but I thought already about a solution to reduce them.

Most of the times they're obvious to be... untrue, spelling mistakes, vague descriptions, just live with them there aren't that many so that quest announcement page isn't flooded with them.

Just wait for the good ones

What if they like that?

On a more serious note, thanks to the people in charge looking out for such problems and for thinking of ways to solve them too.

well i can bring you a dragon, but i can't promise he won't just eat everyone.

i'm thinking there should be some type of example quests, posted and stickied somewhere to give people the general idea of what type of format a quest should be posted, and just some general ideas od what a player quest might looks like.
