@tiny Don't know. But asking if a user has anything up for adoption isn't really begging, is it? At least I don't think it is. :/

qwertyuiop • 11 May 2010, 7:34 PM

I can't believe this! First the trade thing, now this!

galewinds • 11 May 2010, 7:35 PM

I don't know Silver, mine doesn't work either. Too lazy to bother with it right now

snowyball • 11 May 2010, 7:35 PM

@ victoria- I looked at you profile and that comment made no sense whatsoever.

galewinds • 11 May 2010, 7:35 PM

I think you should just say no, and then if they come back and ask again, then report it

qwertyuiop • 11 May 2010, 7:35 PM

Oh, do these new rules mean that there is no more stealing views?

mairbear • 11 May 2010, 7:36 PM

@trish yay, you're so pro 😸 @tiny i think pets who are up for adoption don't really count in this situation, I mean, look at the examplesπŸ˜‹

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:38 PM

@mair- The reason I sent this ticket is because when I was deleting post, most of them were asking her my 8 tines.

rivanna2424 • 11 May 2010, 7:38 PM

mairbear • 11 May 2010, 7:38 PM

@victoria LOL I just read it too, does he/she think you get Mos for reporting ppl? *reports everyone on blog* XD (jks btw πŸ˜‹)

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:39 PM

rivanna2424 • 11 May 2010, 7:40 PM

Really allie9112 only 75 feeds?

galewinds • 11 May 2010, 7:40 PM

I sent in 8 of the known impostor names at the beginning of that mess

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:41 PM

@rivanna- Ya it's 75 feeds. You can check the archives I think if they have it out already?

qwertyuiop • 11 May 2010, 7:41 PM

@mairbear What have I done to you??????

toothpaste • 11 May 2010, 7:41 PM

@victoria, I looked at what they wrote, do you think they know the definition of "report"? T-T

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:41 PM

@Gale- Name them please?

mairbear • 11 May 2010, 7:42 PM

Oh wow, I didn't even know you had an impostor, only one I knew about was orderedchuos =/ and you know who's the impostor? 😱

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:42 PM

Have you guys heard about what happened to smilies?

mairbear • 11 May 2010, 7:43 PM

@qwertyuiop πŸ˜‹ @trish o_O?

scorch_cloud222 • 11 May 2010, 7:44 PM

rivanna2424 • 11 May 2010, 7:44 PM

Pinkskunks still sre not in the archives!!!!!!!! T-T

missy147 • 11 May 2010, 7:44 PM

This is a good thing, though I don't know if it will stop all people to beg... Well, at least we can report them... πŸ˜‰

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:45 PM

@scorch- Ya, it was for the spamming we had done, though we deleted them! Yet smilies gets reported and not me? Someone reported her.

qesque • 11 May 2010, 7:45 PM

Wow. This is a much needed feature. It's good to see they'll be looking out for this. =)

galewinds • 11 May 2010, 7:46 PM

I think he means people who repeatedly ask after being told no, Missy

scorch_cloud222 • 11 May 2010, 7:46 PM

@trish;; What happens when someone reports you?

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:47 PM

@scorch- You get 3 levels of reporting. Level 1: Profile text deleted & Warning. Level 2: ? Level 3: Banned.

scorch_cloud222 • 11 May 2010, 7:48 PM

@trish;; How long are you banned?

allie9112 • 11 May 2010, 7:48 PM

@rivanna, yes it's only 75 feeds. I've had 4 Pinkunks hatch at that.

mairbear • 11 May 2010, 7:49 PM

So is smilies banned? and is the ban permanent? o_O

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:49 PM

@scorch- When your banned, your banned forever and your Egg Cave address will not let you access Egg Cave.

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:50 PM

@mairbear- No, she has a Level 1. She's okay. I feel sorry and she shouldn't get all the blame. I was part of it and I'm reporting myself in

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:51 PM

Maybe that'll direct me to Level 3 warning or level 2 warning or Level 1 warning.

plookle • 11 May 2010, 7:52 PM

Thank GOD this is finally being addressed. So tired of it. πŸ˜‹

missy147 • 11 May 2010, 7:53 PM

The travel agency hates me... ☹️

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:54 PM

*Barrenlands In* Not new Travel.

mairbear • 11 May 2010, 7:55 PM

@trish oh I suppose level 1's not too bad then and lol, I don't think you can report yourself πŸ˜‹

missy147 • 11 May 2010, 7:55 PM

@trish: I don't see that in 'my' TA!?? 😱 Mine is empty (still...)

scorch_cloud222 • 11 May 2010, 7:56 PM

I just got a couple of Barrenlands for my BG-less eggs. I'm still hoping to get a new one before the end of the day.

trish • 11 May 2010, 7:58 PM

*Eww* I just learned about puberty in class today. The teacher EXPRESSES too much! She keeps saying what could happen. And the "changes''.

silverserpent • 11 May 2010, 7:59 PM

Still want that volcano... *sigh*

trish • 11 May 2010, 8:00 PM

@silver- Me too! Meh!!!! ☹️ Why does nothing good show up for me the whole yesterday?

toothpaste • 11 May 2010, 8:02 PM

ikr! the TA never as ANY travels anymore... ☹️

vampire666 • 11 May 2010, 8:02 PM

I think this is one of the best updates ever. πŸ˜ƒ

trish • 11 May 2010, 8:03 PM

My favorite blog was the one with the Easter Hunt.

lilyfern • 11 May 2010, 8:03 PM

I'm glad Ian is taking action against these beggars. I've had run ins with users like that before, and I can say it's far from pleasant.
