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 (https://www.pogocheats.net/proxy/?http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/pita.gif) 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. :/
You would think people would have better things to do :-\ Sorry about ur ban.
thats a load of bs :(
Pogo is about the most unfriendly place anymore. Next they will ban you for being a member. :))
I wonder if my attire is suitable for Pogo? I mean considering I got it from them :o
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.
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. :;"
let us know what they say to you as in result to your email.
i think you got banned for words used in open chat couldn't see them banning someone for what there mini wears was reading on pogo ms etiquette i think about someones mini appearing to have no cloths on ms net replied about a slow connection can make Ur mini look undressed , if someone can go find what she said and post it here I'm sure it will make funny reading
BTW sorry about Ur ban
I think there should be a nudist camp for our minis. :o :))
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! >:(
ss about your ban... an outfit i had/have for my mini... is the newer tops its green and long jeweled jersey top...i had only bikini bottoms on underneath, so it looked like i had no pants on...my caption was who stole my pants gimme em back, suprised i didnt get banned for that

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.
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. :(

They've always said there was a chance the IP would be banned too but I haven't encountered it yet.

grrrrrrr..... so what do I even do? Is my email to them "escalated to their senior officials" or do they have no idea what I'm talking about and need to tell them my username, game i was playing, and all that other stuff, again. The good thing though, is they don't know how to properly IP ban someone since i'm able to get in on a guest pass.
you should call them ;:"
that'll get me in even more trouble, what with my dirty potty mouth.
Your ban will be over before you get an answer from a real person on Pogo. :'(
Sorry to hear about your ban Spawn. I hope he get your name back. It's really messed up when they give you clothes in the Mini Mall and than ban you for using them. That's what they're for aren't they...
sorry about the ban spawn. having been tossed off pogo a time or two myself (b/f, about 30 times - he is naughty), i found it irritating. however, i found that time a wonderful way to devote to other pogo pursuits.
:))
lol senior officials in pogo terms means they passed your complaint over to another cause they didnt want to deal with it. :))
and its stupid to be banned over a mini clothes...smh
gonna wrap my mini up in a blanket ... and not even gonna bother turning chat on .... damn guess then they will ban me for being anti-social sheeeeeeeeeeesh... they getting stupider (is that a word?) by the minute.
After hearing people talk about bans and terminations of their accounts, I always wonder if they are telling everything that happened. I for one am guilty of a little prevarication when I know I have really ucked up.
Yes, Pogo has become very unfriendly with all the people out there that are willing to report your for your name, your personal lifestyle and the famous how you caption your mini. I am gonna start reporting people that pray in chat rooms, after all, how do I know they are the same religion as me. Oh yeah, maybe I will report them for having mini's that are older or younger than what they really are. And then I can start reporting them for the type of music they listen to.
Heck, Why not just report everyone while I am at it, LOL
I get people in chat saying they are going to report me for using an auto all the time. If they do I never get banned (knock on wood) I also never chat on Pogo. It seems they are banning for things that happen in chat most of the time.
its gotten to the point where if you chat on pogo, you get reported. if you don't chat, (lottso, bowling and bingo mainly) you get reported.
Hmmm, OK. Wtg, gg, nt,tyfs, blng. There, I got my chat out of the way for today, LOL

if you wrap your mini up in a blanket they might ban you for impersonating an extreme muslim. :))
LOL and you can do that. Just put bikini bottoms on and the blanket thing and your pantless :o
All I can say is...I'm sure glad I quit playing with paper dolls a LONG time ago..my mini is just plain old one...no chance of being reported..altho there prob is a ban on NOT buying clothes and being plain...........think??
*pleads, begs* don't report me pleeeeeeeease!. :)) :))
they did not get banned for what there mini look like it was because of what they where sayin in chat about there mini bein a hooker etc... it is always the chat that gets people banned.. i do not chat any more due to the fact every day someone is sayin to people in chat i just reported you no one has ever bothered me oh wait i got flaged once for callin some one the b word for her harasing someone :)) :)) other then that i just don`t chat any more better to be safe that way ;::
don't feel bad i was banned for teling someone that was accusing me of cheating i told them in this exact type kiss my fat azz i got banned for 3 days
well, i'm still banned. and still no response from Pogo as to how long this will last. I need to find a new way to waste a few hours each day playing silly games because I've had it with them.

Don't quote me but I would guess 72 hours unless some really bad stuff was said in chat.
I'm lucky I've never been banned. I'm pretty sure I've gotten reported a few times though.
Everyone needs to be like me and be good. I never get in trouble. :P
Seems like the best thing to do in pogo is not chat. Everyone should bring their friends here. We have more fun here anyway. O0

I've never been banned.. but I don't talk on pogo at all. I have been accused of cheating.. so I'm sure I was reported a few times for that.
closest i got to being banned was getting a red flag message from pogo because i was reported for saying "my tans natural so i dont have to go tan like pale people" lol after that i dont even talk in a room :)

I don't get what's wrong with saying that.
If you learn Latin no one knows what you're saying in chat. ROFL! Some miserable ignoramouses are just report happy and we all know that misery loves company. It has to be something extremely serious for me to report anyone - most of what is said in those chatrooms is pure hooey from delinquints who think they have some sort of influence in a virtual world.

you should just report them for saying bad things about you in chat under harassment then unmute them and tell them in chat u just reported them for saying bad things about you and to read pogo,s TOS they soon shut up , Ive only got the confirmation emails about the reports not sure if pogo does anything about them or not ,

I was in a room where two people from Germany were chatting in German. Someone was complaining because they could not understand what they were saying. So I think no matter what the cry babies of the world are going to complain! I dont like what you are saying, oh I cant understand what you are saying, boo hoo hoo. GROW UP AND GET A LIFE!
I think some of the Pogo players that report everyone have controll issues. They think everyone has to conform to there standards. Don't they have drugs for that?? :))

well, the mighty hand of Pogo has miraculously lifted my ban. I never received a response from them about how long it was for, who reported me, or how my behavior was any worse than their own for creating the clothing and breast implants. what a shocker.
