Electronic Arts/pogo.com Protest

"I think the important factor is to keep pogo a family site. This objective is hard to achieve if any abuse is allowed to persist for even a short period of time. Without the guides on pogo, to do what they were trained to do, abuse is inevitable."

"yes, i agree with what is being proposed! i think it's ridiculous that this is being taken away. sure it may cost you some funds but in the long run it will only benefit your service!"

"We need some one less we get like Zone and the others with nasty talking young ppl and no place for good clean fun. thats why I'm here in Pogo It was Family. the guides did a excelant job I for one will miss them .. G.B. Riggle "

"Don't understand why you would be using cyercop when there are ppl will to volunteer there time and a cyber cop will not be able to assit as well as a person please don't take are guides away from us they are a part of pogo."

"We the players are the reason pogo survives, even with all the technical problems pogo has in it's programing. Don't take away guides Please! Brings them back. More and more, technology is replacing Humans with machines, this a sad fact, don't let Pogo be"

"The guide program has been a valuable asset to pogo. Not in just enforcement of behavior but also in providing help to people. Allowing people to help people is also a great way to promote a possative attitude towards your business. I am a business owner "

"Bytaking away the Guide program. We the players are left with the helpness of not having any one there to help us as it is needed.. At htis time the ppl that do nto follow the rules are just running the sites or chat areas.. By you letitng this happen y"

"I sincerely hope you take this to heart. My grandchildren play on here and wouldn't want them exposed to filth or harm by pedofiles"

"The players on Pogo are used to being able to call a guide for help, and they are quickly learning that the friendly help is now gone."

"Submitted separate letter supporting petition"

"the marshalls were a good courtesy agent for all the players...when there was abuse, the marshalls would be able to assist in a personal, timely fashion."

"Please keep Guide program "

"Lets keep it a family site, taking the Guide programme away will not be in Pogo's best interests"

"Since the removal of the pogo.com Guides I have typed /abuse several times in order to rid the lounge of an "abuser" of the three times I typed /abuse I NEVER received an answer. Because of this fact I have decided to cut down my playing time at pogo/ea."

"I believe that the Guide Program is a good program and that removing it will be detremental to the success of pogo.com as a whole. Thank you for letting me share. =)"

"Please keep Pogo real, The Guides make it unique. Bots or dats will dump Pogo down to the level of the rest of the swill sites on the net."

"I would like Pogo.com to retain it's family oriented atmosphere; to have access to Guides; and to have quick responses to serious questions I may have. TY"

"so far, as of 6-3-01, the ea guides are really messing things up, whereas the pogo guides knew what to do and how to do it in a non-offensive manner"
