I have never reported anyone to Pogo. But When I am not running an Auto, I get accused of it which irks me. I have plenty of auto's, I mainly use them to catch up on old badges from 2003 & 2004. But, I do not se why people have to be so nosey. Not everyone with 40 Million tokens run Autos. My father is a BIG Texas Hold Em' fan & is very good at it. Thats where he got his 20 Million tokens in 2 years, he has Never run an auto. Pogo is too quick to ban people just because someone reports them. People DO turn their chats off, but when they do not answer, some idiot has to report them for using an auto.. >:(

Who does it really hurt for someone to be cheating.  If someone is cheating and someone else doesn't like it they can just not look at that name or go to another room.  The only games it makes a difference is in the competetive rooms.  Since I started playing pogo I play against computers unless have to play a rated game.  It started out like that because of the sore losers that would pop in and if they were losing they'd pop right back out leaving me hanging.  Also, some people are just plain rude on Pogo and I don't wanna hear their BS.

I was playing pool this morning and someone in the main chat accused another player of cheating, player a was just throwing out all kinds of insults to player b saying you cheat blah blah blah and player b was saying they werent.  I was double browising at the time waiting for the firefox browser to load and I popped up and said you know, people who accuse others of cheating often are cheating themselves.  It got deathly quite and player a said I gotta go now bye.

to me it sounds like the dude was using an auto and he really should have kept his mouth shut to begin with.

If he joined Club with his regular pogo SN, his membership would date back to the date he joined regular pogo with that SN, in his profile.  I didn't join club til this year, but my profile says member since 2001.

i had a similar thing happen in a word whomp room. oner person was accusing a girl of using an auto telling her "we are watching you xxx" and "xxx is a known auto user please report her". I look at the accusers stats and he had been a club pogo member 3 days, yet had 3 million tokens and had done 30 ranks in word whomp. When i pointed this out he tried to claim he had been playing ww for 14 days straight. other people started pointing out he had only been a member 3 days, and POOF he disappeared. it was kinda funny  O0

Are you saying that he was a Club member for only 3 days (as in he got the Club badge 3 days prior), or that he was an all around Pogo member for 3 days (as in on his profile tab, it says Member Since, and that date was 3 days prior)? Because it is possible for a non-member to have been playing Word Whomp for a long time, and they of course do not get the badges, but their stats are there and I do believe if someone then joins the Club, they will get the badges according to what rank they achieved while playing as a non-member. So if they were on rank 30-something before joining, after they joined they would then receive the 3 rank badges up to that point. It only makes sense since otherwise they would have to start all over again after joining the Club, and their rank progress before that would be meaningless.

In all the years I've been playing pogo I've never witnessed anything like that either, I just wish people would mind their own business, I couldn't care less who's using an auto.  During the last bingo challenge some guy in the room I was in announced that he'd had enough for now and was "going on auto".  All conversation in the room stopped, you could hear a pin drop, it was so funny ;D Don't know whether he was serious and joking about or whether he really was that stupid lol  :)

GM everyone.  I have a good one on the snitch happy.

How do you possibly keep someone from accusing you of cheating?  Well, you accuse them first.

I was in Poppit last night, minding my own business(IE: keeping my head down and profile below the radar), when this male type Sn asks a female type Sn what kind of auto she is running.  As the pot shots start, I take a look at the female profile and if she running an auto, she is running it very conservatively, stats just look like some one pretty good at the game.  The win-loss ratio was reasonable over the length of time she been playing.  Then I take look at male profile, and I wanted to wet myself laughing.  He's got a 99% win ratio over the whole length of time he's been playing.  Something like 3000+ wins and 2 losses.

As he is yelling he has reported her to Pogo and people like her are a drain on gaming and have spoiled the experience for him, I decided that I couldn't let it go.  I piped up and asked him about his stats and what did he think Pogo was going to do if they saw those?

Well, faster than a Badge Hog after a new auto, his stats went to "0".

I couldn't resist, the name went on my friends list, and when I got up this morning, there he was, back at 173 games, no losses. :-X
