@betterlate1 Reputation is a reliability score that is inherent in this board. When one is new one is limited because they don't want crazy people swooping in and posting all kinds of nonsense. One garners reputation points when another person, perhaps such as yourself whom I may have helped, clicks the "upvote" button to acknowledge the comment and show that it's helpful, useful, etc. It's a courtesy as well because if a person's taking the time for a complete stranger to help them, the least the stranger can do is acknowledge it in that small way. Kind of an Internet courtesy.

RE: Is this person nuts?
@betterlate1-0 Just a thought - if you want to contribute to a conversation, why don't you, you know, actually contribute? I asked some specific questions (which I read) and you have zero input on them. Take a look at my original post, look at the questions again and why don't you provide your two cents rather than get into all this other nonsense? Just curious if you're able to do that. I can see why you have been downvoted so many times. But do what you want ,I'm sure you will think I'm attacking you.

RE: Recommend addition/removal of words
@Paulo-Pereira Understand that the app developers don't define/determine word lists. There are associations who determine that. I often see people blaming these guys for words they don't like, but they have nothing to do with that information.

A Couple of Suggestions
The countdown clock in the new live rooms is so distracting and ANNOYING. I lost a game because I couldn't figure out what that was and why. Really a dumb addition. It was fine in the old room (10 seconds to go) so why make a countdown clock?
My second gripe is how the right-click doesn't undo the tiles on the board, IT MOVES THE SCREEN BACK A PAGE. Fortunately forward got me back into the game but this is something that worked fine for a decade, and now it's different. Is the non-flash version limited this way>
Finally, the adds are really bad. While I was trying to play this Florsheim shoe ad was popping in my face. Really annoying. And The add on this page is even blocking what I am writing so if there are typos, you know why. Big banner in the view blocking what I am trying to type.
Sheesh. -
Sound still turns off
Please make board settings 'remember' themselves. I have to turn on the sound every time and it's annoying.

RE: When you host a game, you always play second.
Who cares? Taken the effort? What does that even mean? It takes about a second to host a game

RE: Don't know why players block me. I play a fair game. What...?
@swimflower Yes it's hard to say why someone would do it, but don't take it personally. Who knows what's going through the person's head.

RE: I'll Volunteer
@betterlate1-0 "Running back and forth"? Is somebody persecuting you?
I have to say I do find it amusing (and a little paranoid) if you think I'm "running back and forth" between different profiles just to torment you. I'm regretting wasting any time giving you some of my insights much less creating a second profile and doing that. Who has time for that?
Again I urge you just to consider what I've said earlier rather than argue with me. Because I can tell you you are 100% wrong and if anyone is 100% wrong, something is off.
Anyway, I tried. Good luck -
Lexulous
I'd be curious to know when people started playing this game. I remember playing when it was called scrabulous and it was the same format as the famous board game. Probably 2007-08 on the website.
Because of copyright infringement they had to revamp the board and I'll just say they really got it just right. The size of the board and the letter distribution and the location of the increase scoring squares is all great. This is definitely the best word game out there. If anybody replies please mention the year that you joined and any other comments you wish to share.

RE: This game can be so annoying
Since I posted this message I haven't deleted one game people have started with me and deleted the game and now I'm getting the message as if I'm the person deleting them. Since the developers are completely unresponsive I guess I'm just ranting here for no better reason other than to rant.
I've I canceled my subscription for this reason. I'm sure my $4 or whatever it is per year will make no difference to them, but got to vote with my feet right?
Thanks everyone for listening -
RE: This game can be so annoying
@retired2017 Yes, I've been a paying member for years. I like the game so much it's worth it to me to support the guys. But for some reason on the app you still have to earn game points. At least there are no reoccurring ads once you have the game credits

RE: This game can be so annoying
@mapmakere yeah the good news is that it didn't last long but I was pretty darn annoyed when I posted this because I've literally been a pair paying player forever. Something thing that bothers me about the internet is that when it puts you in a broad category with other people and same penalty without any intelligent thoughts or decision making behind it.

RE: This game can be so annoying
@retired2017 in order to play on the app you have to watch a certain amount of ads, you sit through one unsufferable ad for a few moments and you get five game credits. Then you play and you run out of them and then you have to charge up again. So if you join a game with somebody and they never play and you delete the game early you lose a credit. You may not lose a credit if the person just times out. But that 3 minute is too long and I should mention that I play 5 minute games so 3 minutes is pretty much impossible to recover.

RE: Timer warning for both players
@betterlate1-0 Or even one plink every 5 seconds. But the way they have it now is just horrible not just the way it works but the way it sounds.

This game can be so annoying
When I play a live game on the app I start a game, someone joins and then you have to wait for the opponent to play. Sometimes the game will start but the opponent won't move. Either they forgot or walked away from their phone or computer or whatever. After 3 minutes the game will end (and of course we're still charged a game credit). So rather than wait the full minutes, if it goes about 2 minutes without my opponent playing I just delete the game assuming the other person isn't going to play - 3 minutes is just too long.
So now that I've done that a few times this this game or the developers have actually flagged my account and I can't start a game and I received the message that says that I can't play for a while.
It's so stupid - of course I emailed the moderators the developers no response. Thanks guys!I've played this game for so long I used to be in touch with the developers and I've been a paying member forever but I'm going to cancel my subscription. Just too annoying.

RE: "The password link you have clicked on is expired" when trying to change my email address
@latiflorus No. But I have not tried to reset my password. Make sure the clock on your computer is set correctly. Very unlikely that it's wrong but you never know. Also you might want to clear your browser's cache or even use a different browser

RE: Timer warning for both players
@thatguythere202 Desktop is different. I am talking about the Android app. It does not ding once ever, and certainly not with one minute to go. That sounds tolerable - but I just played on the computer. It made a weird chirp at 0:48 seconds and then another I think at 0:38. Not horrible (but not great). The annoying tickticktick on the app at 15, then 10 then 5 is bad. An example of programmers not really experiencing the game from the user's POV

RE: Timer warning for both players
@mapmakere Not what I am talking about, but okay.

RE: Timer warning for both players
@mapmakere I play on my Android and that annoying timer sound cannot be turned off, unless I am mute the entire phone and I don't want to do that because I want to hear the ding when it's my turn.
I figured out what it does, which helps a little. When there's 15 seconds left left to go it ticks for 4 seconds then it pauses for one pointless second, now we're at 10 seconds, then it ticks for another 4 seconds then it pauses another second and then it ticks for the remaining 4 seconds. It's the most annoying, pointless thing & it sounds ugly. The developers failed on this one.
Thanks for listening
