Think about it. EA has had some legal bills and needs some cash flow to cover them.
What is their most reliable source of income? I'd bet it is Pogo Club Members.
What percentage of Pogo Club Members use autos to some extent? I'd guess it is more than they'd like to admit.
What is the cost of auto users to EA? Nothing. Auto users do not impact their cash outflow. I'm not going to go over this in detail, but trust me, they don't.
So what is the benefit to EA for banning Club Members that use autos? None. In fact they'd lose money by doing so.
However, they have to make some consession to those members who scream about auto users. Due to their clauses against auto use, they are able to deny many of their payments, thus decreasing their costs...
Is it any wonder that their policy is normally, "Deny Payment, but don't Ban?"

I was curious. I know how Pogo views our using the glitches/hints/autos, but I was wondering how do you view it?
Are we cheating because we use these things? We're not winning the prizes because of these programs, so we aren't taking away anything from anyone, so I'm curious why all the hate about this stuff? I know there are a lot of people who get pleasure out of just causing trouble, but with most games on the market today their are codes/guides/cheats and you don't hear the game manufacturers calling foul about it.
So does anyone know what Pogo's gripe is about this? I can understand the people who hack the programs to get extra things/badges etc that's criminal, but just running an auto to win meaningless tokens and badges...
