I've been banned

[Spawn O Satan]

I decided to have a little fun with a friend of mine and dressed my mini up to look like a hooker. I put a tight long halter top on her with a pair of bikini bottoms that were the same color as the shirt. Since the top was so long it looked like she was wearing a dress with a pair of panties showin underneath. Well, when we were joking about it, I was suddenly bumped out of the game with a popup that said "You have been temporarily barred from entering this game due to your prior behavior." I check my messages and Pogo tells me I have been IP banned for "inappropriate behavior".

Give me a break. The new bikini outfits they have in the mall clearly display Dolly Parton sized boobs (compare them to the old bikinis, with normal boobs), and they're the ones who design the clothes, yet I get banned for wearing them. Unreal.

Sorry to hear that. They sure can be a when they want to be.

I sent them quite a nasty email in response, and I'm waiting to hear back from them how long the ban is for. It's really quite rediculous when I have to ensure I go into an uncensored room every time I play just in case there's an old fuddy duddy in there who doesn't like to hear talk about boobies and panties. :/

Pogo is about the most unfriendly place anymore. Next they will ban you for being a member. :))

[Tara]

I wonder if my attire is suitable for Pogo?  I mean considering I got it from them   :o

[Spawn O Satan]

you've got the big boobies! better be careful or Pogo will ban you for not wearing a coverup over them.

I was closing out QQ this morning, looked over at chat and someone had gotten offended and theartend to report this other person for talking about golf.

[Tara]

I'm going to say it again. Unless your in a private room with people you know ( not strangers) I wouldn't even speak. It's getting unreal out there anymore. Just my opinion of course.  :;"

[Nymphy]

let us know what they say to you as in result to your email.

[Gecko]

found it
Dear Ms. Netiquette,

A long-time friend of mine on Pogo was very upset with me recently as he stated that my Pogo mini was naked from the waist down. I, of course, checked immediately because I had not changed it and I had not been online. My mini was fully clothed as normal.

My friend was adamant the mini was naked. There are no naked mini's as far as I am aware. He stated it was showing on his computer as having been changed and that my mini was definitely naked.

I am very confused - needless to say I lost a friend, but please tell me I am not showing as naked to the world, heaven forbid! Can someone mess with your mini? I did not believe this was possible. I live in a coldish climate and it way too cold at the moment to go naked, but seriously I am concerned if someone can alter my mini. Please advise.

Yours

Miss freezing



Dear Miss Freezing

Your Mini was never naked, and your friend was not hallucinating. As simple as they seem, Minis are pretty complicated. They are constructed out of many layers of images, and the base layer is a skin-toned. On that layer, the Mini "clothes" get placed. In rare cases, someone with a certain type of browser, in a particular game, with a slow connection may only see the base layer of your Mini and may wonder what happened to your Mini's clothes.

This same player may see your Mini fully clothed ten minutes later in a different game. It has to do with how much information the browser can load, and at what point it stops loading that information.

The Mini you see is usually the Mini everyone else sees-- unless you are on that certain type of browser in a particular game with a slow connection. There are no naked Minis, and it is truly unfortunate that your friend did not believe you. You may want to direct him to this column. Just make sure he doesn't copy it and send it out to everyone on his Friends List!

So sorry to hear about your ban.  That's wrong.  I am now surprised I never got in trouble for my mini in the gold jumpsuit, at the truck stop with the caption "Lot Lizard."  I will have to be more careful from now on.  Pogo gave us mini's to show off our personality and then we can be punished for using what they gave us and ban us.  One word for Pogo - dirty! >:(

You can do it when that green long top that came out the time before the bathing suits also. Just looks like you have that on only.

[Lynne]

yeah that is the one i have ..

They are doing IP bans now so we can't play on a guest pass?  :o I didn't think they did that in the past.

I am so sorry to hear you got banned.  :(
