Clarify what's added and what's the original answer/suggestion
**[status-completed]** - This has been completed. Furthermore, exclusion of some categories (ex. Meta) and requiring a minimum score is now possible.- The more I think about this, the more I think that we need one more variant.
- Looking at the screenshot in the question, we've currently got:
- * Codidact network
- * Community
- * Random question from a community
- * A specific question
- (The last two are shown as one and the same, but I really think that those should be considered separately.)
- What I think we need in addition to those:
- * **Random question limited to those in a select category**
- This would allow us to selectively advertise, say, [Scientific Speculation's *Rigorous Science* category](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/categories/25) in places where that's appropriate, without having to manually pick out a specific question to advertise.
- The mechanics of that would be the same as the random question from a community type of ad, just with the set of possible questions to select from restricted to those in the specified category.

The more I think about this, the more I think that we need one more variant. Looking at the screenshot in the question, we've currently got: * Codidact network * Community * Random question from a community * A specific question (The last two are shown as one and the same, but I really think that those should be considered separately.) What I think we need in addition to those: * **Random question limited to those in a select category** This would allow us to selectively advertise, say, [Scientific Speculation's *Rigorous Science* category](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/categories/25) in places where that's appropriate, without having to manually pick out a specific question to advertise.
