ok, You should have it so when anyone with access uses .wrong, the bot should be able to look in it's question database, and put the words "_wrong_q" where "_" is a space, right after the question. This would make it easier to look for a wrong question. All you would need to do is open up the question database in notepad, and use the "finder" to search for "wrong q". So much easier, i know. I don't know how the bot originally looked for wrong answers, but if this is similar, im sorry, i just made a suggestion anyway.

Ok, you should write up the code in vB that lets the bot do that.
Thanks for the helping hand. Geez, why had nobody thought of this earlier.
Oh, what's this? You don't know how to program. Too bad. I guess you better start learning quick.
Oh, and in case you didn't notice my sarcasm, I don't think your suggestion will work.

Whats wrong with it? Basically, you'll have to rewrite the whole triviabot. That's what. Including that the questions will have to be ID'd. Besides, nobody really care about the wrongs, only Doom does. Besides..who'd look for wrong answers hiding upon billions and billions of questions! (Again the answer is Doom!)

not billions upon billions, actually 110,000, in doom's terms. Well, your right. Wrong answers don't really ammount to anything, and who would care to fix them. Your right, i got ya.

Actually, I wouldn't need to re-write the whole trivia code to do what he said, although there really is no reason. Currently, when someone issues the .wrong command, it's recorded on the logs and I can see the question that was asked before it. It's not hard to find and correct. But do I do it? Not anymore. But i've considered writing the code to send mail to Doom whenever a wrong question is identified. Just haven't done it yet.

Wasn't Doom running through all the questions anyways?

Hey, why not let me manage the wrong answers, if you can find someway of doing it. I'd be happy to do it, just tell me what i need to do, not that right or wrong answers matter.

eat a batch of teletubbies covered (and baked) in chocolate.
Prone, there are tens (maybe hundreds?) of thousands of questions on the bot. To manage every question that's wrong would take forever. Ask Doom, he's been editing for months now and the last I checked (a few weeks ago),, he was a little more than halfway through. Luckily though he just graduated, so he's able to do it. Do you really want that responsibility and do you think you have the time?
Best to just let Doom handle it, were it easier to do, though, that would be a useful thing to have.

You think he's still correcting wrong answers? Oh, well i guess the job would be hard. I'm saying with the "wrong q" idea i had going, it would be even easier
