It has looked better today. Yesterday, there were also a few instances of a player trying to say something over and over and never managing to. This is someone who's been around a while and I wouldn't expect to be trying to spam or cause trouble.
If you can send feedback over, ideally Pogo would allow some safe sites for links; mainly pogo.com and forums.ea.com. Note that players helping newbies in Merge Academy often pass along links to two helpful discussions here:
It would be a shame if the filter blocked those links. Note that in the room the title doesn't appear; just the link, http...
We did learn a lot of tricks to avoid getting things hashed last time around. A lone "yes" or "yeah" would often get hashed but if you said, "yes, that's right", that would usually get thru. One player's name could be shortened by taking the "ie" off the end and then it would go thru (and this is still happening). People also tried putting spaces in the words, but that's not always working now.
Note that previously, what was hashed seemed to sometimes depend on who was talking. Some players seemed able to talk almost normally and other couldn't seem to say anything at all. I was beginning to wonder if it was often the more popular or more talkative members who got hashed the most but I never was sure.
Thanks!
