You may be right, Flossie, but I don't think the Forum comments are driving away players, because most of the people who play tell me they NEVER read the Forum.

I do believe that cheating and accusations of cheating, WHICH ARE NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE DISCUSSED IN THE FORUM, can engender bitter feelings. However, I think that the people who do complain about cheating here do so because we have never had a LadderOp who would enforce the rules against it. I know of at least two cases where evidence, albeit circumstantial, overwhelmingly points to the use of a search engine or other word finding device and, although these two people were exposed, they still play here and still win an extraordinary number of games, which some people find objectionable to the point where they would rather not play here.

If there is a solution, I do not know what it is. It saddens me, though, to see this venue so underused. I've met a number of "cool" fellow Scrabblers at this site and I hope to meet even more in the future, assuming it [the site] survives.

I'll encourage newcomers and I'll play whomever, whenever....and keep my fingers crossed.
