Just want to vent about an abusive, foul-mouthed 'correction' I got about one of my quizes. Usually, the occasional correction I get is cordial well meant. However, Wizkyd decided that I needed a healthy serving of bad language when his incorrect spelling of an answer (which the question clearly states must be spelled right) was not accepted. Sure wish we had some way to reply to these sorts of 'in-corrections.' I would have given the little potty-mouth what for... and done it WITHOUT any bad language, at that. Okay... thanks for listening... just needed to blow off some steam.

Isnt it too bad that some people literally have no life that they would take a site that is supposed to be fun and make it as unpleasant as possible for others? Take heart - there seems to be many more nice people in this site than the idiot that sent you the foul-language correction. Dont let it get you down, but I think you should report this to the administrator as this type of behavior shouldnt have to be tolerated by anyone. This is supposed to be a FUN family site. Good luck!

Consider it reported. Val, can you e-mail that thing to me (my e-mail is in my profile icon above). If you still have it, perhaps we can give Wyzkid a surprise.

Such behavior is NOT acceptable at FunTrivia. If a warning fails to suffice, the offender's account can be zapped into oblivion, his/her ISP notified of a violation and, if necessary, the ISP banned from here.

hi there Valerie, take up the offer and forward the email, it'll let some more steam off at the sender, who down in this neck of the woods we would them call a kangaroo short in the top paddock; mate, you're not the first, msgene was also bestowed with that honour a while back.

I agree - take up Gunslinger's offer. We need to nip these things in the bud.

Such behavior is not tolerated here. And, ISPs WILL be blocked if people can't behave themselves.
