The way I see it, if someone can't write down their own Friend Code correctly, that's their own problem. Are you referring to codes that don't work?

If it's a matter of typos in the rest of the comments... Some years ago I was the editor for a newsletter. The job included getting articles, managing the list of events, and organizing the whole thing to look good. As I saw it, that also included fixing typos and other errors. But it also included publishing "letters to the editor" -- in reality, comments from members of the group that they wanted everyone else to read. In some cases, there were a lot of typos. Some people (including some highly-regarded authors) just aren't very good at spelling, grammar, and punctuation. When people asked me to, I edited those letters, but in general, I didn't. It would have been a lot of extra work, and I already had plenty to do. Sometimes, it was even hard to tell what was an error and what was just the way that people really wanted to express themselves.

I look at the Friend Codes entries and profile stuff as being the same kind of thing: a way for people to express themselves. And it's not my job to fix the errors, and really, nobody else should mess with them without permission. But it would be okay to leave messages on people's message walls to let them know about problems, if you really want to.
