    Chill. I got one too for opposing the BNP; merely by posting a list of all the lawbreaking incidents of their officials/supporters. Someone else posted a similar list today, so I'm happy if my 11 points wakes up a few people to what they are all about. I've only ever received three violations and have challenged two of them, with no reply either so don't hold your breath Sonia C.

    humor or humour is not allowed!! You just have to disguise it well to get away with it. I don't know- put every question in jokes. Many of the polls and surveys crowd have had violations for no reason what so ever- just stick it all in trivia or something like i do- or words and wordplay is best- that way- people that are likely to violate you aren't interested in words!!

    Is the problem really with the people who are reporting the violations? Just who are the "morons" here, anyway?

    Why don't you ask a question about grammatical usage, such as when to use "there" as opposed to "their" or "they're." Or maybe "to" and "too". I'll bet no one will report you then.

    Exaclty! some guy asked how to make his girlfriend a size zero as she was a size 2 and fat. He was obvioulsy joking. I made an equally ludicrous response - every other *er on there was telling him he should be ashamed of himself and giving me thumbs down, until I got a violation. EEJITS!!!

    I had a violation for calling a fat person a sl**, and docked 12 points. Kind of find it hard to believe that people would get upset about that.
