[Tux4kids-discuss] Tuxmath question (FWD)

[Sam Hart]

We've still got people emailing many of the old T4K SF.net lists with
questions about various T4K projects. I'm aware these lists haven't
been used in years, but I'm hesitant to just delete them outright
because it is useful to keep the ancient, legacy threads archived
somewhere. I do have them disabled (I think), but people *still* often
just email them as opposed to doing a bit of research and figuring out
where they should actually be mailing things.

Anyway, the vast majority of the crap that gets sent to them is just
spam, which I ignore (and which my Gmail account generally just eats).
However, I *did* notice this one legitimate message in the flood of
garbage. It seemed like a valid question/concern, so I'm forwarding it
on to tux4kids-discuss in the hopes that someone may be able to help
them out :-)

(BTW, if someone else more active in the project these days wants to
take over as list owner for these, or do some other form of fancy
forwarding on them so that legitimate requests get to the proper
people, please let me know and we can set you up on SF with them)

Subject: Problem at School
We have your tux math program loaded on all of our computers at our
school.  It is a great program.  Unfortunately we have discovered that
kids like to type in things other than their name when they have made
it to the Hall of Fame.  Is there a way of getting in an removing
names from the Hall of Fame other than beating the score?  Please help
us with this situation.
Thank you for your programs.  Hopefully this will make it better.
Maybe there should be some kind of code that teachers have before kids
can enter their names in the hall of fame or that only teachers can
enter them.
