I’ve been wondering that for quite a while. I’ve seen him bid 80 SD & 300 DD, deliberately bury his partner in the hole, then abandon the game. And yet, his Abandoned Games stat keeps going down. And I totally agree that he is a nuisance to the game…

Somehow Snoman is down to 1 abandoned game, he had 2 last I saw. Plus he abandoned a game today again…. What gives, does he have access to the app database?

@James-1883 He must, somehow. I’ve often wondered if he was an admin, playing under several accounts as there are a couple players with the same MO. I’ve blocked him so I won’t get him as a partner.

@Traceyad - Me too, but i have been paired with him anyway.

Hmmm, yes, I’ve noticed that too. While I haven’t been paired with Snoman since blocking him, I have noticed that I’ve been paired with others after blocking them…I now just back out of the room before game starts if there’s a player I really don’t wanna partner with.

@Josh,
I am so upset after reading this I wish I could reach in to the game app and shake Josh awake since he ignores us.

I have petitioned him NUMEROUS times about my huge amount of abandoned games on my record. I have openly admitted that half of them I have quit those games because of reasons like EXTREMELY inept partners that have absolutely no reason to be playing pinochle let alone on these phony "Expert Level" tables where anyone with a pulse can enter. I also have quit games where opponents think they are getting even for losing so badly that they run the timer down on every one of their turns. I dont give them the satisfaction.

Does Josh help and respect his good players? NO, NO ,NO... and no. He protects the inept ones with win / loss records where they usually have 2x to 4x more losses than wins.

SO MANY TIMES I reported when the game would crash a year or three ago. I would send screenshots each time too. Josh claims he made me whole in Abandoned, Loss, and Rate categories but HELL NO... My rate is so jacked up wrong that I sent OBVIOUS mathematical examples of other players with far low win percentages AND total games played yet they have higher Rates.

Your new info I just read shows me there are favorites and then the rest of us... I doubt this "Snow" player hacked the system so this, along with so much more, is on Josh now.

WOW, I used to be so enthusiastic about this site and would communicate directly with Josh about ideas and how other Pinochle sites looked & played... what attracked players to those sites. I sent him screenshots and hyperlinks to those sites too as we communicated...

But I guess Im not worthy of being treated fairly.... I'm telling ya... he would penalize me progressively worse for relatively close together. 30 or 40 pts !!!!!

Wake up Josh. Get rid of your unfair Abandon abuse toy. I KNOW I'VE NOTICED LONGTIME GREAT PLAYERS NO LONGER HERE.

BTW, James & Traceyad, y'all probably know me better as Mike Ox Big and I have been around with a good record for a long time... but my Rate doesn't reflect the record... as stated above.
