I understand the need and desire for automation and I support that, I just still think there are a few kinks that need to get worked out. I myself have never had a problem with the spelling issue and not getting credit because I actually paid attention to the details of the article where it explicitly said it needs to match IMDB exactly.
And..actually..you can see the answers when you aren't logged in. If you get it wrong, it says incorrect and gives no points. If you get them right, it actually reveals the answer and awards the points. This is all without being logged in. It's been that way since the main trivia started.
Can anyone else back me up on that? Or does everyone like that it does that now?
Also, I think you should allow logged in users who have already submitted to see the answers again after they've submitted. Sometimes I've submitted and then forgotten what the ones I've missed were and wanted to log back in to look at them but then I can't. That should be fairly easy to implement and maintain non-spoilererity answer-wise.

at the very least, you should do something to curb the cheating. It's too easy to just keep making guesses until you get it right. I don't trust any of those guy's constant perfect scores, except for maybe saucymi since he seemed to do it during the beta. I liked the 2nd round of shots for lesser points to help after the 1st round better. It made it more fun. I know it doesn't work well for automation, but what was wrong with emailing you. Just require only one email submission per member...or something like that to cut the number down.
