I have a couple of questions I'd like answered:

1. I keep hearing things about stats? What kind of stats do they show in general, and where can I see my stats?

2. OK, I know letters are a rule violation and of course I try my best to warn people not to use letters. So, my first thing I'd like to ask is if someone writes something like "Al" in their pic, is that considered a rule violation still? I warned the artist since I thought he was using letters and got warned about the admin. I was kinda scared to warn other artists after that lol. I mean, I know that clearly writing the word "European" on something is considered a rule violation, but not sure about something like, say, 2 letters?

3. Everytime I enter iSketch, I get these weird pop-ups that say <link here> is trying to access etc. etc. etc. How can I get rid of these annoying things without allowing them access? This also happens when I put my mouse over a username who has a link.

The command to use is /stats which shows your game statistics ie: how many played how many won.

This would really depend on what the word was being drawn and if the letters are a clue to that word.

This would be a shockwave security dialogue box asking your permission to view player icons. To stop this constantly popping up your best course of action would be to "allow all future access"

Ah, that clears things up for me. Thanks!

I believe that it is permitted to draw the first two letters of the word if you have already used the hint function to display those letters. Although, it runs the risk of being player skipped, and seems a little pointless if you have already given the hints...

When players get skipped for letter writing - that clearly isn't a Personal Message done in the lower left hand side of screen - rather an obvious attemptto write out the answer, I usually say:

/me points to his picture and says "READ THAT. NOOB!"
