Hi, let me first say thank you to those responsoble for this site, and all who contribute :)
I use the autos for poppit, and I never use my main Club Pogo Id to run an auto...
I always make disposable free accounts, and get passes from others, or give them passes myself, to use THEM to run the autos.
I then lose them to myself with a double login in a poker game.
I'm sure this isnt an original idea, lol...
Has anyone ever had an account shut down for this?
What were you doing when you got caught, pogo will include the details in why you were banned in the email as i understand it...
Please share with others so we can learn from the mistakes of others, and not our own...

The biggest problem with getting banned these days are the snitches. People on pogo are reporting people because they think your using an auto. I suggest changing rooms frequently or at least refreshing the game once in a while. They will also report you if they think your winning percentage is too high. There are a number of opinions on how long to use autos etc. If you serch around the forum you will find them. Running autos 24/7 isn't a good idea either. ;)

not if you don't include an email only reason to have email is in case you win JP/prizes since the chance of me winning any JP is such a long shot I don't include an email addy
i never got banned :P
I have never gotten banned either. O0
Nope never gotten banned, booted or anything....
No bans here! ;D Seems to be the general consensus of the room!
i got banned awhile ago :(
lol it's ok it happens to all of us well almost all of us
ive never been banned or anything bad like that O0 ;D
I like to run my turbo 21 and poppit autos on a name that is not club pogo then dumb the tokens to my account. When you use regular names no one can see your win percentage, just how many games you played and your best win. Also the uncensored chat rooms have been good to me as far as people not reporting. It's usually just a bunch of kids in there that don't care one way or the other. Since I been doing that I can run autos 24/7 for as long as I want until my internet connection fails and have never got banned. I'm still trying to figure out what game gives me the most tokens in the shortest amount of time.
never been banned and i have been in the same room as this pogo steve guy, i did not even turn my auto off
I have had 2 accounts banned. One was running an auto for 6 days straight. I don't remember how long the other one was running but it was around 5 or 6 days.

i have to check my email and look at girlie pics there is no way i could run my auto more then 10 hours straight
I agree, couldn't go without the comp. I run my autos and do all my downloading on a different computer and use this one as my primary one.
i couldn't live without my internet :'(
Mr. Soprano,
first let me say I really like how you handled Tony Jr. during that rebellion on mom...but...are you and Carmella ever getting back together????? What happened with the bear??? The Thugs just sat outside and nothing happened! Is Meadow still on the X?
And in closing, I hear that Poppit is the answer to your question.
With all respect Sir, Daletta2 O0
I don't turn mine on until I go shopping, Leave the house for anything or while sleeping.
If I turn a cheat on while I'm sleeping then I make it pause, Pogo monitor's how fast the clicks are etc. They log everything. "They bring out all the info if you win". So that is basically it. but before these programs were even out.. I used to use ghost mouse lol.. for slots etc but it clicks the ads now.. so it sucks..
My friend got banned for playing quick shot hoops, He was a regular character not a member, He then started making baskets quickly "he used no cheat, I was watching" He ended up being banned. They told him that they were suspicious of him using a cheat program and basically gave him the boot.
so basicly they look at your stats when they "audit" your account so to speak.or logs to see how fast it was being play. so if you se an auto for slow even if you win a jp you shouldnt have problems?
So..... In other words. If you actually win a prize (as rare as that is), POGO looks at your account to decide if they 'suspect' that you are using an auto. Someone who is good at a game could easily look like they are using an auto when they aren't - A situation that is LARGELY open to interpretation and opinion.
I can see it now... "Oh my, according to the powers that be at POGO, we 'think' that you've been using an auto program (or some other ambiguous method of cheating), therefore, we're NOT going to pay you the $8000 jackpot that you just won..." And WHO could argue with that? After all, POGO is the company that owes the money. It's inconceivable that they would make up a story just so they wouldn't have to pay off... ::)
If they pulled that crap on me, they'd be looking at a MAJOR lawsuit, and they'd have to do better than 'POGO says so'...
It's not your stats they look at.
They look at Java logs to determine if you were playing faster than a human being could.
Like, solving a puzzle in 6 seconds.
I have used various autos in the past, relatively lightly, and have won a prize. Maybe $5 wasn't enough for an account audit.
One tip I have is whether you like it or not add losses to your game every so often lose 10 or so games. Okay, so your winning percentage will be lower it will lower your visibility to those tattlling. I'm not saying it won't solve the problem but if you have 85-100% winning stats it doesn't matter if you are that good or not you are talking about people who are jealous enough to tattle, people who have time for nothing better than viewing your information in hopes they'll get you in trouble. If they want to mess with us mess with them back change the game. These people are pests and pogo seems to thrive on them or else they'd consider the harrassment of paying people more important than someone building up tokens that are worthless.
i use a wallmart connect browser how do i turn off java log?
First off, Merry Xmas roomies. When I read posts like this it makes me cringe. I'm hearing to "purposely" lose some games here and there to make it look like you are not as good as you can be.
I have never had a problem personally with pogo snitches. I did have a few people accuse me of using autos over the chat and the room was all eyes when we got into it. When a new game comes out, I like to play and play and play until I can display that badge that few people have. I'm competitive in that way. I am disabled, and pogo consumes atleast 8 hours a day, sometimes more, of my life. I haven't used an auto yet because I am afraid to. If I get brave enuff to try it out I'll probaly love it. I know good and well I'll never finish bingo or phlinx without auto because I am sick of them and haven't touched them in several months. I would like to have those badges and for that I may very well invest in auto on a whim.
Now, seeing as I have not done this yet I lose alot of faith in pogo that I spend a quarter or more of my life on. Yes, I have a 98% stat in www. I have a 95% in aces up. I simply am good with words and know how to end a game when I know it's going to fail before it gets to my stat mater. It's become like reflex to me to do that bacause I like to show that I am good to any1 who would bother to read my stats. Why in the world would I want to lose on purpose just to convince some1 that I am not using an auto or that I am that good? And better yet, why would pogo be bothered by a tattler if they can "really" tell if you are playing in an unsportsmanship manner?
There was a time when pogo was very enlightening and "magic" to me. It has truly died in many ways this past year. The challenges have become 1st grade. Every1 seems to want to either "Be better" or tattle as to boot you so their stats are one up on the board. And yes, if I actually won something: a mug even I'd be estatic. If pogo gave me slack about it I'd sue them over it just because I can.
Simply put, if auto is such a horrible thing to do then pogo should make means to end it if they feel that strongly about it. If they can't, then they should improve on their tactics. None of us should have to play a game any less than we are capable just bacause some tattler is out there, auto or not. Pogo "should" know, and not think we are cheating. We pay to play and their tech support is fully "auto" for the most part and sucks at that.
So I just want to wish E1 a very happy Xmas and New Year and say play like you're the best! If pogo catches you and you should have been caught, well boo hoo. If you are playing ligit and you're just that good, go go go! Be good and / or be good at it!!! This is my post. Sincerely, Alex
Hi Barbara and Merry Xmas to you too. I'm trying to fit into this board, :-\ but now I am confused. I've stared at your reply for quite a few minutes and don't grasp the D in WWD and certainly not flash. Could you please give me a refresh?
in response to your question its word whomp wackdown and the flash is when you win your name is at the bottom...now for my post hearing all this its almost not worth it to me to use autos since i have had my account for going on 3 years, since no one here is certain that its safe to use them and what pogo actually looks for.
Okies thx so much. Never associated the name at bottom being a flash. And yes I do miss those days .... a lot ;) I hope that we can get that back one day. I can't say whether it is or isn't worth it to use auto. I have my acct. for 2 years and those special award badges are not ones to get over to date. I feel that those badges will be especially popular 5 years from now and I sure don't want to lose them. It may take me 5 years to finish a few games though those badges will always be there.
I have come so close so many times to using an auto and I haven't quite made that leap. I don't feel it is wrong at all. I just don't want to lose what I have earned. Only time will tell with me cause I do things like that, a day at a time.
I would love to see a challenge in pop fu where you beat the cactus a few times rather than pop 3000 balloons. That isn't a challenge to me. I'd like to see a challenge in keno or need for speed that requires a little skill and not just have to cover 200 numbers. The 2003 challenges were in itself more challenging. They went soft with few exceptions.
Gawd, I love pogo though I love to hate them at time lol. Okies...I'm off. Hope Santa is good to e1
I miss it Barbara :D I do so remember! Ty and just made yam from apple. I was an 18th z but that's an old vent I released here lol. So I am at it again and will get that carrot one day. The www tip was very nice too this time around. Thx
hi if a person gets banned does that mean thay can never play on club pogo again :o ::)
Not necessarily. You would need a new account though.
What is Steve's screen name so I can spot him or put it in my "friends" list so I can track where he is.
I have never been banned. I use all the auto's I can find. I leave Tri-Peaks on 24/7 changing the room when I go to work, when I come home, when I go to bed. Same thing if I do Pop It. I just alternate the games each day.
Pogo_Steve Good Luck. ;)
