[pbmserv-dev] Blanks in scramble

["Louis" <louis.francisco@laposte.net>]

In the following report, you can see that Billthom and Clearwater have both played a blank tile. Billthom hasn't marked it when playing while Clearwater has explicitly used the "-" mark. While Clearwater's move doesn't give any clue, Billthom's indicates that he didn't have a M on his rack. Do you think this could be annoying in a particular situation?
