Who’s Added You On Pogo? Find Out Soon!

Mayhem · July 16, 2012, 11:22:23 PM

A new, long-awaited feature is rolling out to Pogo soon that will allow you to see who's added you to their Pogo Friends List.

We are testing this feature with a selection of Free accounts first, and then over the next week or so will be rolling it out to all players on Pogo – both Free and Club.

At this time, you might want to take a quick look at your Friends List and remove anyone on there that you wouldn't want to know that you're currently following them. Maybe you are their secret admirer and you want it to stay that way, perhaps? Or perhaps you met them once and added them and now can't remember who they are. Take this opportunity to clean up your Friends List.

Lets see. I have a total of 4 people on my friends list. I think I am okay. Since I never speak to anyone on Pogo and have every block possible turned on I doubt anyone has added me. I am SOOOOO antisocial

Of course you are 1 of the 4. Zack is doing okay. The swelling is not going down as much as I would like. But it may be as good as it gets.

I must be SOOOOOO (extra O) antisocial then. I have zero people on my friends list, and highly doubt I'm on anyone's. lol

I'm leaving mine alone. Hell, I've got people on there I added and can't remember who they are. Well, they can find my name now and ask me who I am. A few I've had squabbles with will remain there, I want to know if they've entered the room I'm in before I'm blindsided. Also, I have several old accounts and I'm not about to go back and sort through the friends list wondering who to remove.
I'm leaving everything alone and let the chips fall where they may. What's the worst they can do anyway, follow me around and beg to have them removed?

any news on this yet?

disneyland lady · August 14, 2012, 05:57:56 AM

I have lots of questions about this. I am curious as to if this would give us a time frame type info although Pogos info does not seem to have this. I wanna know not only that someone I do not know is following me but how long they have been doing it. I will sometimes add someone just because they are way too talkative so I know not to go into a room or can leave a room when they show up. Easier than having the xxxxx is muted over and over. I just ranked out in Payday where there were several who thought it very important to let us know what their final score was that hand. I don't want them to know that I have them on my friends list since I only put them on it to avoid them.

And if it lets us know that 3 weeks ago or 3 years ago someone added us or only show those that added us the day this application starts cuz I need to get busy and look now to get my curiosity resolved. I also added someone with a very inappropriate screen name just because I want to see how long before Pogo removes it. But I certainly do not want them knowing I have them on my friends list.

I know that when this rolls out it will more than likely make their servers crash while we all go in and see who has us on their list. It did crack me up that it states "Also note that on your Players That Added Me list page, we give you the option to friend someone back, block them, or even send that special someone a gift!" Gift someone stalking you? I think I will gift them that bucket of worms if this happens before that one runs out. And those 2 people here that I gifted with the bucket o'worms - I apologize but I do not think you are stalkers!

There are other people on Pogo and they can be added to a "friends" list? Who knew?

gigi · August 14, 2012, 07:52:08 AM

This concerns me too.......... what if someone "is" stalking me just to be in the same room with me, but has me blocked..... does that mean I won't be able to see their name on my list?
right, like someone would follow me hahaha but you get my drift.
and..... if they "unblock" at random times just to see where I am and then block again...... i mean, what are the chances I would be checking the same time they are...... does that make sense?
maybe pogo will put a tab on the page called "stalkers"

Do you see my name on your list?

Pogo started rolling out the New Friend Notifications feature today. At the top of your home page within the "Friends Online" you will see a number in RED that shows how many new people started following you by adding you to their friends list. When you click on it, or visit your friends list,you'll see who has added you to their friends list. From there you can friend them back, block them, or do nothing.

You may not have this change yet. Pogo's rolling it out to players in stages. If you have it, you will see it when you view your friends list and look. lol

Note: if you've "Blocked" another player, Pogo will not announce to that player that you've blocked them. That player will simply appear on your "Blocked players" list and they will not know..

Guess I'm not special as I don't have this feature yet.
