Best Practices for SFW Questions

Content Guidelines

What makes a great SFW question:

Appropriate topics: ✅ Work experiences and professional milestones ✅ Travel and geography ✅ Hobbies and skills ✅ Food and dining experiences ✅ Entertainment and media ✅ Technology use ✅ Learning and education ✅ General life experiences

Topics to avoid: ❌ Romantic or sexual content ❌ Alcohol, drugs, or illegal activities ❌ Political opinions or controversial topics ❌ Religious practices or beliefs ❌ Financial status or wealth ❌ Physical appearance or body topics ❌ Family trauma or difficult relationships ❌ Mental health specifics

Gray area topics (context-dependent): ⚠️ Age-related experiences (verify inclusivity) ⚠️ Parenting topics (not everyone has children) ⚠️ Marriage/relationships (frame neutrally) ⚠️ International travel (economic privilege consideration)

Question Structure

Effective Never Have I Ever question format:

Clear and concise:

Keep under 12-15 words
One specific experience per question
No compound questions

Good: "Never have I ever gone skydiving" Bad: "Never have I ever gone skydiving or bungee jumping or rock climbing"

Specific but not exclusive:

Detailed enough to be interesting
Broad enough for diverse experiences

Good: "Never have I ever performed on stage" Bad: "Never have I ever been in a Broadway musical"

Present perfect tense:

Use "have + past participle" format
Focuses on life experiences, not current state

Good: "Never have I ever eaten sushi" Bad: "Never have I ever like sushi"

The generator's inclusivity mode prioritizes universal experiences over specific cultural, economic, or ability-dependent questions.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Questions seem repetitive

Causes:

Limited topic selection (only 1-2 categories chosen)
Small session history (browser cleared recently)
Playing multiple rounds without refreshing

Solutions:

Expand topic filters to include more categories
Use "Clear History" then "Generate Fresh Set"
Enable "Maximum Variety" mode in advanced settings
Generate larger batches (50+ questions) for better randomization

Questions too easy/too hard

Causes:

Difficulty setting doesn't match audience
Audience demographics different than setting assumes
Topic filters too narrow

Solutions:

Adjust difficulty slider to match your group
Preview questions before using
Use "Custom Mix" to set exact common/unique ratio
Test with 5-10 questions before committing to full session

Can't save or export questions

Causes:

Browser blocking local storage
Pop-up blocker preventing download
Insufficient permissions

Solutions:

Allow cookies and local storage for this site
Disable pop-up blocker temporarily
Try different export format (PDF vs. TXT)
Use "Copy to Clipboard" as alternative

Questions not appearing on screen share

Causes:

Window sharing instead of screen sharing
Low resolution making text unreadable
Presentation mode not activated

Solutions:

Share entire screen instead of browser window
Use "Presentation Mode" with enlarged text
Check screen share preview before going live
Send backup participant link in chat
