We really like Helpdesk at ClassDojo, it's simple and doesn't get in your way. They've had 1mm tickets total so far, so we've answered around 0.5% of all UserVoice tickets.

So I understood what it does, but when I added my word it took me to a facebook login error page. I abandoned at that point. You should let people contribute the words anonymously and then vote them up. Also, what are you charging for?
