Hi allie,it's me crybaby...lol...but i think i have figured out why everyone is getting mad at one another and feelings are getting hurt.. if your in a room and you leave to go into the single room. whatever room you leave your still on their players list, whether your in there or not, and when your in singles your teammates clap alot, but the worst is when someone is in singles and i go into a room and lets just say santa is in there well i say hi to him and he dosent respond and you say something else and they still dont answer its not that he is ignoring you he dont see it in singles so im thinking well he dont like me or is mad at me or just stuck up. so i think thats why alot of players are getting mad and feelings are getting hurt..... but thats just my opion,,,thanks llie ya all r doing a great job on trying to be fair

Thank you for trying to work this one out for me - it's very difficult trying to make sure that everyone is happy all at the same time!
Now, please help me out here as I'm a bit dense this morning. The singles room - you're talking about Single Player, yes? If you are, this is the room I play in sometimes, and I don't see any of my friends in there, I only see the bots, I don't see anyone chatting at all. So if people can see I'm playing, and they talk to me, and I don't respond, it's purely because I cannot see them or what they have typed. Are we on the same page now? I hope so - and your explanation makes perfect sense :)
Hope to hear from you soon about this, and thank you for trying to pour oil on troubled waters - I hate to see folk falling out with one another! :(
Take care, Allie xx

This is spoiling your fun, my fun, and everyone else's fun. That's not acceptable. I'm going to take this higher and see what can be done.
What room is the worst affected, Sherrie, and roughly what time of day does the fighting take place?
I won't tolerate petty squabbling in WPB when it spoils things for other players.
Any help you can give me with this, Sherrie, I'd be grateful. You can email me in confidence

Take care and speak soon xxx
I'm also going to insist that when players ask for help, they use good manners. If I am shouted at (using caps when I'm spoken to) I won't tolerate it.
Let's face it - folk are losing sight of the fact that this is a game, not life and death - and if it takes a 24 hour ban from the site, to bring some to their senses, then so be it.
I'm here to look after all the players, and I want everyone to be happy. But I am no-one's doormat, and once these Protocols are introduced, which will be very soon, those who are behaving badly now, better realise that once I get to hear about what they have said and done, that they will be facing being banned from the game.
This is not a threat, it's a promise.

Good manners cost nothing. A simple "Please" and "Thank you" goes a long way with me.
As for players who have been verbally abused - that stops right now. Once the Behaviour Protocols come into being, trust me, I will ban those who deserve it, and it will be very much a last resort for me to do this - because I really want everyone to be happy, and to get along.
I also won't accept excuses like "This is so unfair - I didn't know..." How can someone not know, that you don't call someone names, or use bad language, or threaten someone? Surely we all know right from wrong?
There will also be little point in challenging a ban, because I have full backing from management.
I will be sensitive, I will listen to all sides, but bottom line - if I feel someone deserves anything from a 24 hour ban, to being kicked off the site? It will happen.
It's very sad. This is a wonderful game, with some fantastic people playing it. This is a great community. Bad behaviour will be nipped in the bud. Don't be afraid to come and tell me if someone has upset you - I'll investigate and listen to both sides.
Take care everyone :)

It is a wonderful game, and the only one like it - it's unique - I'm grateful to be part of something so special!
WPB rocks!!
And yes, the freezing can cause problems, but the biggest cause of it, is internet traffic - certain times of the day can be bad for players of all games, not just ours.
Hopefully we can play together again soon, I had a blast with you girls! xx
We will get this glitch sorted out - please be patient.
Kimberly - you also have a very big heart, and you're very forgiving.
You are both very kind ladies, and I see no problem with you playing together again.
I'm honoured to know both of you.
I will play with you any time no hard feelings what so ever :)
Thank you, sweetheart xxx
