Reddit's error messages add insult to injury 18 Jun 2008

SitePoint's Matthew Magain draws attention to Reddit's insulting error messages. (The screenshot below shows what happens when you get the letters displayed in the CAPTCHA wrong!). Not good...

Reddit's CAPTCHA error message reads 'Your letters are absolutely dreadful.' Charming.

What a stupid way to welcome new customers!

I'm sure these messages are intended to convey the site's "personality", but like Steve and your good selves, I find them to be in extremely poor taste.

I actually well and truly stopped using Reddit for that very reason (well that and the fact that you have to wait 10 minutes between submissions).

When I got that message a few times I said in my mind "Your stupid letters are dreadful, how the hell can anyone read that"?

I can completely have a bearing on to the article on AOL's finance page talking about how people are still taking way too much cash
I've been tiresome to be close-fisted and intrude back on spending.
