I just played a new Brain Teaser.
I found the game badly compiled with fill in the blanks more than 2 words long.
Questions and answers spelt incorrectly.
As well as ambiguous questions.
I am surprised it made it through the screening.
The game ID is 'trickquestions1'
Hope something can be done

I can read reading, but I can't read writing!

Will pass this along to the category editor and Gunslinger, awkins. Thanks for the "heads up"!

I read it. I see that crisw has already taken care of it. It needed dumping.

I played this game before it was pulled off-line. I made a couple of comments to the author, specifically about his answer "they where fish". Here's his reply:

F*** YOU THE QUIZ ISNT EVEN ONLINE BASTED YOU HAVENT EVEN PLAYED IT @CR@

Do we really need such immature people writing quizzes?

What a kind person you are, Tony! And I mean that sincerely. I'm afraid I'd refer to this person in less flattering terms.

I'd also add him to Terry's 'Rude People' post so he can be watched in the future.

And I'd be tempted to 'torch' (as opposed to 'toast') his quiz(zes), all of them.

Question...in the phone book it states that it is "...against state and federal laws to make obscene or harassing phone calls." The caller is subject to prosecution. I would assume that, in the broad sense, this is meant to refer to 'the transmission of obscene/harrassing communication.' Would this apply to transmission over computers as well and, if so, should we use this to remedy problems like this? I mean not to prosecute, but to inform the garbagegums of the law(s) that they have violated, and what can happen as a result? I know I'd think twice before doing it again.

While I want to go on record as saying I absolutely completely uttery totally 100% oppose complaining about the use of bad language in an official capacity as it is the basest and crudest form of violation of one's first amendment rights:

the way to properly complain about someone on the internet is to complain to the person's ISP. Get his/her email address. write to abuse@<domain name>. Forward the message and add commentary. Most ISPs (the major exceptions are those ISPs who actively recruit and train spammers, most notably freeyellow and earthlink), upon receiving enough complaints about abuse of an acocunt-- and in some cases one complaint is enough-- will yank the person's account.

If the ISP does not have an abuse address, forward to postmaster@, webmaster@, and support@. Every ISP has at least two of those addresses active. If you get the message back from all three, the person is spoofing the domain name, which is illegal, and THEN it's time to go to the FCC.

We don't need help from the FCC. We don't need help from an ISP. We don't need anyone else's help. This is a private website, into which the public is invited for participation, subject to behavior within its rule structure. The rules are few and easy to follow. Appropriate language is one of them. That's why we have editors.

Tony (and anyone); whenever you get a 'flaming' response from anyone, simply 'zap' their quiz and move on. Nothing - constitutional or otherwise - requires you to sit still for rude, profane or obscene garbage from anyone. Toast 'em and forget 'em.

Gunslinger - youre my hero.
