well, I got the dreaded 72 hour ban for impersonating a Pogo / EA Employee and all I did was type in chat word for word what Pogo had posted about a game in the help section to someone who wanted to know what was wrong with that game...lmao...I fought it with them and got my 3 days credited back that I lost and also had the flag they put on my account removed.

Lets see: He gets a perfect game in bowling... nothing happens. He finishes the game thanks to his uncle Otto... nothing happens. He gives out his own email address.... WHAM! You're banned! Note to self: never give out my email address but run my auto all day and night long with nothing to worry about.  :))

Well, we know Blu will be more active here than he has been the last few days!

ea has added new rules to there terms etc and they do say no info is to be given out in chat etc so some people have nothing better to do then to turn someone in for anything.. you can`t even talk to someone about helpin with badges either  >:(

According to the idiots at TOS, as stated on the site:

we strongly encourage you not to disclose any personal information about yourself in your public communications on our Service. EA is not responsible for information that you choose to communicate to other users on the Service, or for the actions of other users.

So that says..."Hey, we don't think you should give info out, but if you do...we aren't liable."
WTF?

well, you all probably know how those kids in Checkers are always begging to cyber and stuff... well, I commented on it and I was banned for few months and fought it and they re-opened my account, I was still charged for my renewed subscription to Club Pogo even during the ban, so ended up dishing out an extra $30 for nothing at the time

obviously some people have nuttin better to do than to sit and wait for what they "feel" is an infraction of the TOS and report that to pogo......  Tara is right... best thing to do is just not talk.  I may put that in my profile... due to constraints to what can and can not be said in chat, I have my chat turned off to avoid suspension. :oo

I'm  sure u will average around 200  although I'm not sure on this  its either the new after 20 rank ball or Pogo's  doing something to stop us getting all high scores  ,  I'll try it on OP,S Sn later  to see if its ball or pogo  BTW nanners  i close on fell off chair here  when i first went into room  u was in i got a NT  and there was  only 3 in room and it wasn't from u lol   :)) ,
and when u left i ended up in room all by myself i was scared and lonely w/out u   :)

um blu  maybe pogo  thought u needed to rest after all that work to Finnish all ranks  :)) :)) :))

it doesn't matter what u put because i got another  must b using an auto  in chat   ,  even though i had what Tara suggested  to put in profile  lol
i ended up saying this  is one of his parents and Ive just reported you for harassment in trying to get my son to chat when clearly we as parents wont let him have chat open ,    :))  all they done after that was wtg  NT  pffft   not another word about not chatting ,  so sometimes i think u have to say something cause these ppl are to lazy or ignorant to read Ur profile first .  i added to what i said  by saying u need to go read pogo,s new TOS   :)

(makes note to self next time i look at profile and see this )   due to constraints to what can and can not be said in chat, I have my chat turned off to avoid suspension.
I'll curl over    :)) :)) and b thinking its one of my friends from in here 
BTW nanners u be nice to uncle Otto and he'll  be nice to you he works very hard   :)) :)) :))   remind me not to get up before 6am when i don't have to  :))

OK, I admit I haven't read all 4 pages.. Got mad after the first 2 and a half. Now I have graduated to furious!!! >:( >:( >:(
You definitely have something to say to them and hard copy proof to back it up!!

Here's the very simple truth about THEIR SITE RULES that I would HIT THEIR TECHIE BUTTS WITH:

" Please explain how, IF it is against your TOS to give out personal info, your own creation and support of POGO MINIS can and does simultaneously exist. Especially considering the types of  INFORMATION BLANKS you have permanently provided, including SEX, AGE, LOCATION, and RELATIONSHIP STATUS".

I think a good case can be made that Minis were created for members of the Pogo community to KNOW personal things about other members. Otherwise, the data spaces would be full of things like: Which planet is your favorite?Pepsi or Coke?  What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? with no spaces for any personal info, just a multiple choice dropdown menu. OR, more sensible, NO Pogo minis at ALL.

I would state all kinds of conflicts in TOS with their 72 hour suspension and their STOOPID MINI PROFILES.
Of course, you probably should get all personal stuff off your profile if you can first. Not sure if you can even access you Mini profile during a 72 hour " sit in the corner time out".

Mine now has NO identifying info, but almost everyone else's does in one way or another.
Mine does say that I have chosen not to chat or accept mail from Pogo users due to an unfortunate incident in the past, so please do not be upset if I do not reply to a win or a comment with a " WTG", " TY", or other salutation.
There is no truly unfortunate incident per se except getting PMs and it goofing up my autos. I just can't tolerate the people who start talking about all the sorrow, low life friends and spouses, and various dying people ( including themselves)  when I am trying to cheat really well and am paying attention to the PC screen.

You fight this, get your time back, and get a really nice comp of a free month or something for all of your time and long distance phone calls if you can.  O0 O0

and also isn't  giving your age sex And location out in open chat a violation of TOS   because your giving out personal infomation  in open chat  .   so next time u see a ASL  say i cant it violates pogo,s TOS and i don;t want to get banned for giving you personal info. maybe we should remove it from our profiles and write this "due to pogo,s TOS  no info about me can be put here "  .

I think a good case can be made that Minis were created for members of the Pogo community to KNOW personal things about other members. Otherwise, the data spaces would be full of things like: Which planet is your favorite?Pepsi or Coke?  What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? with no spaces for any personal info, just a multiple choice dropdown menu. OR, more sensible, NO Pogo minis at ALL.

I would state all kinds of conflicts in TOS with their 72 hour suspension and their STOOPID MINI PROFILES.
Of course, you probably should get all personal stuff off your profile if you can first. Not sure if you can even access you Mini profile during a 72 hour " sit in the corner time out".

Mine now has NO identifying info, but almost everyone else's does in one way or another.
Mine does say that I have chosen not to chat or accept mail from Pogo users due to an unfortunate incident in the past, so please do not be upset if I do not reply to a win or a comment with a " WTG", " TY", or other salutation.
There is no truly unfortunate incident per se except getting PMs and it goofing up my autos. I just can't tolerate the people who start talking about all the sorrow, low life friends and spouses, and various dying people ( including themselves)  when I am trying to cheat really well and am paying attention to the PC screen.

You fight this, get your time back, and get a really nice comp of a free month or something for all of your time and long distance phone calls if you can.  O0 O0

and also isn't  giving your age sex And location out in open chat a violation of TOS   because your giving out personal infomation  in open chat  .   so next time u see a ASL  say i cant it violates pogo,s TOS and i don;t want to get banned for giving you personal info. maybe we should remove it from our profiles and write this "due to pogo,s TOS  no info about me can be put here "  .

Yeah, Gecko,
That's exactly what I am saying. It's the largest contradiction in a TOS that I have ever seen anywhere.
You're a sweetie!! :)

Yet more TOS :)) :)) :))

You will not exploit any bug in the Service or in any EA product to gain unfair advantage in the game and you will not communicate the existence of any such bug (either directly or through the public posting) to any other user of the Service. ·

I had never read all of the TOS before tonight.  After reading it, I went and cleaned out my profile.  If you can't give any personal information in chat, I sure as heck don't want it in my profile.

I vote that they do away with public chat all together and solve a whole lot of problems.  :)) :))

You are so right Jewel, giving your email addy out is not a friggen crime, its a choice and should be considered using your judgement.  They might as well turn all chat and communication off. I guess you could whisper your info, but who knows they probably would ban you for that too.   :;'

Post by: Blu on May 16, 2006, 04:55:11 AM
Look at how they make up their own rules...here's some of my correspondence with them:

Me: I know why I'm banned, but I feel this is not fair. How else can we give out our own email to people? This ban needs to be lifted ASAP. The information given in chat was simply my email address. It's not even the address used with my account. People ALWAYS share their email. Your TOS states, "we strongly encourage you not to disclose any personal information about yourself in your public communications on our Service. EA is not responsible for information that you choose to communicate to other users on the Service, or for the actions of other users." This means IT IS allowed, but EA does not suggest doing so. Therefor, I didn't violate TOS.

TOS Tards: Your account was suspended for Disclosing Personal Information in the game. You may not post or communicate your own or any other player's real-world personal information(including e-mail) within the Service or through any Service website or any Service bulletin board.

Me: That's not what TOS says. It does not say (including email). This is what the TOS says according to http://www.ea.com/global/legal/tos.jsp
You may not post or communicate any players real-world personal information within the Service or through any Service Web Site or any Service bulletin board. ·

NOWHERE does it say (including email) in there, as you stated. You added it to this email. This is an unwarranted ban of 72 hours. I'll ask again, who can I contact via phone or email to discuss this unwarranted ban?

Well, you have to keep in mind --- their stupid rules probably exist for a reason, because something bad happened due to one stupid person so Pogo had to create a ton of nit-picking rules to cover their butts.  Not saying they're doing a good job but I can understand why they have things set up that way.

I've had to post a bunch of stupid signs at work ("Please Do Not Print More Than 200 Pages!  The Printer Will Overheat"; "Please Make Sure the Door Is Fully Closed Behind You") because people are just morons.

Pogo went down because they gave Blu a 72 hour ban and it shifted the balance of power in Pogoland. They weren't expecting it and that's why the long delay. They need Blu more than Blu needs them and now that they realize it... they won't be banning him again anytime soon...

....now I'm off to hide in some corner until this ban is over so I may catch up on all the posts later on.

I think hes talking about me telling him to put hes a teenager in his profile and that his parents make him keep the chat off.  But I could be wrong.  :-\

that's how I understood him
must be my aussie accent,    i lost my mum to cancer in 1999  and my dad  died of lung cancer  a long time ago i didnt even get to know him  ,   
he left mum when we was just kids.   
any way enough of me  i just hope i got the ones that got Blue 
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
