pogo can now detect autos?

sbrown9578 · July 24, 2005, 06:10:02 PM

Recently when pogo did their upgrades they can did something that now actually knows you are running an auto. I was running word whomp and a box pops up saying black pixel says to turn off your auto program. It would not go away until I did. The thing is I wasn't using it on fast and I also didnt set it to know all the words it was to miss every 12 words. Does anyone know what they have now that they have the ability to do this? They are being tight lipped about it, I know. These programs are no longer undetectable, I am sorry to say. >:( :-[

That isn't pogo detecting your auto. It's just a random error message. ;)

You can just close the popup and restart the auto. You may need to press the new game button.

The word whomp auto has a "black pixel" message that the auto maker stuck in there as a "book mark" of sorts just for himself and he never took it out. The actual message is, "Black Pixel says to stop typing the run of words routine" It is absolutely harmless, I promise. Just follow Homer's great advice.

Barbara i take on board what you wrote in your previous post,but i have allso encountered a simialar message in wordjong, stating that using an auto is cheating and your account could be barred, does the same apply here as in word whomp.

Same, I have had the same messages coming up in the following games:

- Fortune Bingo
- Lottso!
- Word Whomp
- Poppit!

I wonder if POGO can now detect autos....and if they can...Well....we'll get to that later!!!

I had this come up in autoing WWW on Sat. Only time I've ever seen it, but I don't play WWW very often.

I am speaking specifically about the black pixel message that this person refers to. Pogo may have come up with something, who knows? I have been aware of the black pixel message for well over 2 years now. Funny, but I spend 16 hours a day, playing Pogo and I have yet to see a message from Pogo like that.

Capt. Morgan · July 25, 2005, 07:34:53 AM

Pogo did put some phrase in WordJong that comes up in some of the fortune cookies.
I forget the exact wording but it was just someone having fun and maybe trying to scare an auto user who reads the fortune cookies after opening a gate.

"People who use auto are without honor"

Barbara · July 25, 2005, 11:30:28 AM

Not sure what you mean by that Jade.

Adacia · July 25, 2005, 12:49:54 PM

Well, I don't know if it's scare tactics or there is something to this. I just found this on the newest community news heading. Just be extra careful out there till you know what pogo is contemplating.

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,

They are actually helping us rather than hurting us ...

People who aren't aware of the cheat programs will now be searching for them O0

Barbara · July 25, 2005, 01:06:20 PM

Mayhem, I never thought of it that way. You make an excellent point. Bah ha ha!

sbrown9578 · July 29, 2005, 06:00:29 PM

yep. pogo loves to help people find autos. the conversations in chat in alot of the games get me rolling on the floor lol all the time. you will get people talking about how they suspect someone of using an auto or how they hate auto users and there is always that one person who just has to ask "What is an auto?" i have to laugh sooooooooooo hard at that one.

but back to the little pop ups. my brother was playing on the desktop two days ago in roulette and got a pop up that said black pixel something or other stop talking so fast. he wasnt using an auto or anything nor was he chatting in the chat area. i found that extremely weird. does anyone know what it means?

cranky · November 14, 2005, 02:36:54 PM

i get a black pixel message also but it never say anything about a auto

huggybear · November 14, 2005, 06:26:46 PM

I get that message occasionally with word whomp and the new one is a token count. Not sure what that's all about though

pogo can now detect autos?
