Just say NO to Cheats and Auto Programs!

[avs1roy33]

Has anyone else seen this? This is taken right off of the pogo site. It sounds like pogo might be coming up with something.

Just say NO to Cheats and Auto Programs! 


Help us turn the tide on the constant struggle against people who want to capitalize on our community with cheat programs. Refusing to use, buy, or distribute cheat programs will discourage cheaters from targeting our games and players. If we stand united as a community and don't offer support to these bad apples, we can keep cheating to a minimum. Working together, we can keep our community cheat-free and fun!

Remember, using programs that automatically "play the game for you" is a violation of our terms of service. Players who use any of these types of software programs are liable to be suspended and/or banned from their Pogo account. In cases where players win a prize by using an auto program, the prize is forfeited. Pogo does not award prizes to players who have used cheat programs.

Stay tuned to the Community News area for more updates on this and other important site issues.

See you in the Club,

The Club Pogo team

I have seen that.  I saw it today.  This is going to get fun!!

This is nothing more than a trumped up version of their little blurb in the TOS agreement.  I highly doubt they are going to start raids on auto users, as this would put a serious dent in their cash flow.  Imagine the horrors of thousands of chargebacks!!

I live by my Badge Hog inspired mantra: NO FEAR.  It is a recently adapted attitude, yet one that I stand by firmly.  I told the Hog today, "If I go down, I go down knowing that I got this far."  He and I share the opinion that we aren't going down as long as we don't get greedy and attempt to cash in on a prize, nor a jackpot.  I am going all the way!!!  I don't need a prize, just those badges.

 Exactly. I just got back from dinner and the people checking out in front of me made a $50 issue out of $1.25. Money is truly the most addicting drug in this world and it shows more and more all the time. Maybe it's the heat, I dunno. I just see how $$$ brings cause and effect to this world and it makes me very sad.
             If pogo is griping about auto use, it's because they are not making the $$$ on it. Yes, I understand that customers complain. For that, I can see why pogo in concerned about losing $$$. Still, pogo is trying to satisfy the paying customers. That includes us, whether they admit it or not. This is why there is more suspension than banishment.
             Until the world wises up and goes back to the barter system, we will have war, politicians & autos lol. I actually mean this in a sincere way. I am just releasing my steam from waiting to be checked out for a half an hour over $1.25. I see how $$$ makes the world spin and just shake my head.
             Just pay your yearly pogo fees and all will be well. You won't win a jp, but we know this.  ???

They seem to be parsing a little between "cheats" and "programs that play the game for you".  EA needs the income, and as such they are not in much of a position to go on a "auto" witch hunt. Heck, they don't even seem to want to commit the resources to offer even mediocre customer service.  I doubt they are going to hire additional staff to look for auto users, who are paying money to be in Club Pogo.

Adric, you sound like a Libertarian to me...  No offense meant. ;)

That really is the weirdest looking animal, Adric.  Ummm, what exactly is it?

"incases where players win a prize by using an auto the prize is forfeited."
This is direct from Pogo.
Where does this so called prize money go??
I will tell you, it goes POOF and no longer seen again!!
Pick a game any game.
The jackpot is at $4999
Someone wins the jackpot.
We at Pogo are sorry, we are unable to pay you the jackpot because you have used an auto.
Well guess what??
That jackpot is reset to $50 and the so called $4999 just went down the drain.
Pogo is just as crooked as any auto player is.
When are they going to use these JP savings and buy more servers??

Pogo is just as crooked as any auto player is.  (quote from above)  Absolutely! O0 Icam

Yes Adric, I agree that we need to go back to the bartering system.  I strongly suggest that Oscar adds that "fatted calf" option to his pay pal account.  Maybe we could just trade him a poem for an auto:

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
My badge album is full,
All thanks to you!

Woo hoo!  I just got a free code from Oscar, something about Green Back.  Wait, he said that he needs green backs for me to get a code for Green Back Bayou.  Oscar, why do you worship green rectangular purchasing units?  I'll e-mail you again in October, when I am expecting a bumper crop of parsnips.

roflmao....okies....I'm gonna sign off and get some shut eye. I don't know if the barter system line was kewl to say after that. Have a good night e1 and will keep fingers crossed for a Tuesday pogo surprise :)

[Wichdoc]

When it comes to Pogo... all I see are Tokens, tokens, tokens. Oh yea.. I am also a badge addict. I am strong enough to admit it. I don't need a support group for my addiction, I live for Wensdays. I will stand up proudly and tell the world, "Hi my name is roudy and I am a badge and token addict". We stand united.
hehehehehehehe

You must be like me.  I set that coffee maker up on Tuesday, late after midnight.  I clean my desk and I plot how I am going to get the badges.  Love that Wednesday 10:00 am rush. 

[Wichdoc]

In get up early, get the housework done, put the coffee on, and yes, my office is made very comfy so I can spend all day and be the first to get the badges.

You get the first ever three gold star award (which means nothing in reality, but my respect) for your attitude.

I went out and purchased a Senseo Coffee maker with the extra large water bin. I have that puppy set up on my desk.  Now I don't even have to leave the room to get more coffee.   I love Wednesdays!!!!!

[Barbara]

Oh my!  Max calls at 9:45 am on Wednesday and I always wake up and stumble to the kitchen and say, "Big noise, it will be over soon."  It is my coffee maker grinding the beans.  By this time he has had his cup full, opened a fresh pack of Pall Mall and has a strategy in place.  Maybe that is why he has beaten me EVERY week in getting those badges quicker.  This week he was typing in 8/9 and I was 1/9 in Tri Peaks.  I have never once gotten a weekly badge before him.  Hmm, this week I may have to rethink that staying up until 5 am thing.  Nah, not gonna happen.
