Blue Words dissappear

This functionality needs to be stopped!
It’s horrible and super demotivating when it happens!

Here is the previous conversation we had about it: Damn added random words

Here are some quotes from it:

@bbbblinq: “This will never be ok. Kill the stupid thing that adds words at the end of a lesson.”

@ScottTyler: “It should never, ever, be okay to automatically add words to a user’s list of known words unless that user wants, and has opted in, to that functionality.”

@aslemon301: “I find it a serious problem that there is no way to undo an action.”

@AJB16: “There are often words in lessons that I don’t consider useful for me to learn today, possibly because they are a bit advanced or obscure, so I don’t want to create a Lingq. They are clearly not known, and I would rather not mark them as ignored words as I may want to learn them at a later date.” … “Creating lingqs would make those words litter my vocabulary practice at the expense of words I do want to work on.”

@TomErikSmith: “To be honest the thing that worries me a bit about this, is not the issue itself, but the fact that this issue has been consistently brought up by new and old users alike, and despite this, the response is always something along the lines of “We cannot possibly fathom a reason that anyone in their right mind would ever want to do such a thing”.”

@bbbblinq: “Leaving blue words alone means you have a chance of knowing whether a text is OK for you to read. If you mark them all as yellow, the texts come up as 0% new words so you can’t tell if they are mostly yellow words or really easy. Always leave blue words.”

@jodye: “It baffles me this remains a hill Lingq want to die on.”
