@zoso-thezephead That's true. When the word is lowercased, it can have a derogatory meaning: to "jew" someone is to be extremely selfish in a financial transaction, tapping into the racist trope that Jews are, as a race, venal and primarily concerned with making money, perhaps taking advantage.
I note that "fag" is not allowed here, even though it can mean "cigarette." So, I see inconsistency in allowing one pejorative term (lowercase "jew") but not another (fag > homosexual).
How do I report someone for trolling the lobby? papaechovond is making pleasant conversation impossible. Please help.
@dan-mitchell Dan, I realize that confirming a pass steals precious time in short games, but the real issue is that the Pass button is and always has been too close to the Swap button. Too easy to make a mistake!
Just put more space between the Pass button and the Swap. Then the fancy
confirm-pass window—which is a bit of overkill (sorry Lex designer!)—won't be so needed.
@betterlate1 I've been here 10 yrs, so I realize how rankings work in general. But when one has played a lot of games, it takes more to move the needle.
Please restore this fundamental tool for long-time users who like to play shorter games.
When your Lex beta first appeared, the spacebar (keyboard) shuffle only worked if I first clicked the shuffle icon. Clicking anywhere else deactivated the keyboard shuffle, requiring another click to reactivate that feature.
Having to activate/reactivate spacebar shuffle with clicks just doesn't work well during short game times.
I'm on a desktop computer. Mac OS, Chrome; all update automatically.
Thanks, Suzanne

@dan-mitchell it doesn't show with either dictionary.
@dan-mitchell sorry, I zeroed in on your mention of the extra pass confirmation and ran with that.
I understand what you're getting at re: no more multiple passes allowed.
@betterlate1-0 Or maybe you mean the lobby chat?
@betterlate1-0 Hm. Not on my system. It's a separate website altogether—or, at least, I can go to this forum page from the game page but not return to the game page from the forum.
You don't mean close comments, then, right? Only remove their visibility?
@betterlate1-0 Why would you want to do that?

I ought to have mentioned that their name was in the "table set" section, not just in the listed-players panel on the left.

Occasionally, matching for a game returns the above message. The last time it happened was today, when I matched dadmomXXX (don't remember the numbers). Tried it again, same result.
