>>:D >>:D >>:D >>:D >>:D iwas suspended right in the middle of completing my final badge. Called a guy a fag for accussing me of cheating in holdem... he called me a bitch and said i have 5 dads and my parents are probably related. I reported him.... to still find him still playing days after, i msged pogo how is that fair? and they havent rectified any of it. So how can fag be much worse then what he said to me? >>:D >>:D >>:D >>:D >>:D
I think Pogo picks & chooses who they want to suspend or ban. I remember one day in a Battle Phlinx room, someone went off & started talking about r*ping the kids in the room because we dropped stones on him. He was vulgar in more ways than that as well. We all reported him & then left the room. However, he was still playing that day & the next & the next & the next & so on.. Such bull!!
Typical Pogo response. My Golden Rule Avoid everybody on Pogo Talk to no one and play with others only when I have to. Pogo has many people that just bait others to get them kick off. Must be a new mental illness. Oh my now Pogo will raise the price to pay for the treatment of the affected
:<< thats pogo 4 ya.same thing here.someone talks bad to you just leave the room and leave them to curse at themselves lol.that really makes them mad... :))
Your better off not talking to anyone,Other than the people you know.
Just leave and go in another room there are many. :ll < your better off Sorry to hear that
sorry to hear that..but that is why you need to just :-X in Pogo
Yup there is one of those psycho nuts in the poker rooms I play in. Have seen her try to bait many people into spazzing on her. She plays poker for chit, then gets jealous of peeps with more tokens, or who beat her very badly. I say either leave chat off, or mute them as soon as they start spouting off.
:-X
Sorry you have been treated this way. That's why I hardly ever talk to anyone in chat. You just never know when there is someone out there who just likes trouble.
Sorry to hear that... maybe in the future if u blow your cool... try sign language...
I very rarely chat.
If someone gets nasty or starts baiting, I ignore 'em and go play something else for a while.
To me, it ain't worth the grief that can come from stuff like that.
I usually just don't talk in rooms. I keep the chat window open because I like to watch all the drama unfold.
Hee Hee.
<...>
I have never been much of a pogo chatter. There were a few 'friends' I made early on, but I don't even go looking for them. The problem for me is, when I am playing during the day I have to stop constantly and answer questions or help my kids with something (I homeshool) so I leave the room for a bit and come back to find someone has been trying to talk to me. I keep meaning to put in my profile that if I'm not chatting, it's probably because my chat is turned off so I can concentrate. Sheeeeeesh - I'm only here for the badges people, not to start a relationship!
OMG you mean you don't hang around the uncensored room just waiting for some Romeo to come in and say "Hi all you sexxeh single ladiez!"

i've gotten into my share of fights with people now i try to stay far away from rooms that i know people fight in. Better to leave when someone gets nasty or if you can take a screenshot and send it to pogo and that way you can back up your story. I've never been banned though but i had a warning once to watch my language. )))
i like talkign in pogo... but i've learned to mute people before i say somehting to get me banned.
I stopped talking to just about anyone in pogo after I was suspended the last time. I have to really know you before I will talk in there anymore. There are way to many self appointed pogo cops in pogo anymore
I have gotten to the point that I pretty much only speak to my family thru pogo. It a shame people that are defending the situation are the ones who get suspended, and the ones who start it don't... that is just plain crazy!
It's really too bad the way Pogo is now - a long time ago people could chat and kid around and even argue without the whole banning thing. Instead of a few anything goes rooms there should be a few "holier than thou" rooms for those way too sensitive people.

lol i would totally agree
Best thing is to keep your mouth closed. I never ever let anyone bug me on pogo. To me it's just words on a screen. They don't know me, nor me them. I could care less what they say to me.
And Pogo really has made it easy to tune out people you don't want to listen to or deal with so take advantage of that!!
so sorry that is why i never chat <:>
It's a shame that something that started out ok has come to this. But it's a double edge sword if you shut off chat and play well you're cheating and you have people looking at your stats. If you chat and offend someone your reported. I let them think I cheat because in todays world you need a book the size of war and peace to find whats politically correct for everyone in the room . Some one will always find something said offensive and I refuse to waste my time and enegy sitting there all day like a drone typing WTG GG GJ TY etc.
The other day I wasn't talking in bowling so the people in the room started asking me into private chat and I declined. Boy were they pissed I wouldn't answer them. :)))

You know what drives me nuts is that I don't know what half that stuff means. I'm still trying to figure out what "nt" means in bowling.
I was advised by someone on this forum to stay in uncensored rooms and that works pretty well for me. Either everyone is on auto (LOL) or they're all trying to pick each other up and not paying attention to anything else. I love the chat room Casanovas. LOL.
nt = nice turkey
i always have chat turned off now when playing, most people now adays are so rude that I just dont care to speak to anyone anymore. I have already got one acct banned for speaking my mind to a bunch of A-holes that were sore loosers in Canasta and Pinochle.
next time some one start yelling at you just say BLAH BLAH BLAH YOUR A DIRTY WHORE!! lol its my new line!!

lol, I thought nt meant 'nice throw' as it is used more often than pple get turkeys. The first time I saw that Icouldn't figure it out. Now if I get turkey and comment is made I do say ty, and nothing more.
I'd rather have something really awful like a colon exam or projectile vomiting than chat with a stranger in Pogo!!!
NOT SAFE, especially for people who cheat. Pogo can audit our Java logs at any time for any reason, and if you get mad and take it out on Pogo, they might do more than a 72 hour suspension.
BTW, they do NOT pick and choose who they give a time out to. IF you are reported and the chat log exists with YOUR screen name on it saying something obscene, racist or otherwise really horrid, then they have you dead to rights.
Chances are, they got the other player too if he was using the same language. The chat log is automatically recording everyone's chat on Pogo.
Well the person who started this topic used a very bad and derogatory word in chat. That is why they were suspended. You can't tell which words were used because they were bad enough that the forum censor got them.
Sorry , but then that means to expect a suspension. I have yet to read any thing that would result in a suspension, at least I didn't see it if it occured. I like to go to the 50+rooms, they are a bit calmer :))

On that note remember even private chat shows on that log. So even if you and a friend go private to discuss whoever it is in room and use any kind of language to describe them like something that begins with A and ends with hole if he is reported you may get suspended too. Pogo says they cannot differentiate between main chat and private chat. Just ask me that was how i got a 3 day time out from Pogo and worse part was we had no clue what was going on in main chat was about 4 of us joking around in private but main chat was reported so we got nailed too.
I have a friend who always tracks me down in where I am playing and she is always using the Sh*t word and I ask her to stop but she doesn't seem to care. Now some of the rooms are 40 to 50 people full so I am waiting for the day she gets a suspension then she will ask WHY!!!!!!!!!! I don"t like doing it but now I have her on block and I find her when I want to. P.S. I don't talk to anyone but by geez you read some damn go fights LOL
