Confusion Over the Puppy Club...

United States
December 26, 2007 2:20pm CST
Okay, so several of my friends now have a cute cuddly puppy as their avatar. This confused me a lot and it took me till Christmas eve to get that they were all using the same avatar. I am not sure how this all happened, maybe I missed something... But, what's the point?

Gee, I can't believe you still aren't in the loop on this...lol...just kidding! Many of us in the Puppy Club share a common myLot friend, username "TerryZ" who has been banned unfairly. Actually, nobody can find out what the reason was but it's believed she was reported falsely by someone who had been stalking her. The sweet puppy was her avatar so we are using it now as a tribute to her, following the lead of one of our common friends. Others who didn't really know Terry have also joined with us. We're hoping someone in the "powers that be" notices this and has a change of heart, or at least fills us in on what's going on here. I can't figure out for the life of me what she could have done wrong, her discussions were all positive and respectful, so I sure don't get it at all! Hope this helps. Annie

Thank you for sharing...now it all makes sense. Hopefully your efforts will get noticed by those higher up, I know that among other myLotters it has been noticed. Good Luck!

That's a good question and I too have noticed this. At first I thought it was the same familiar person posting to me. But then I did a double take. Can't wait to read the answer.

I noticed several members are now using the brown puppy as their avatar. It's so cute. Took me quite sometime to figure out what the puppy club meant. Thought it was a group of people who joined something extra that was offered on myLot that I knew nothing about. Guess I am sorta slow to learn.

The mylot community has a group of friends who have stood up in support of TerryZ who was banned without being told why. I also support this effort even though I have not changed my avatar to the Puppy. I hope the admin will take the time to answer emails and questions so TerryZ and her supporters will have resolution to this issue.

Thanks for starting this discussion. I saw two cute cuddly puppy avatars and thought perhaps that is a husband and a wife. Then the next day I saw a couple more people with this same avatar. I thought that one My Lot person had the puppy as his or her avatar and that others had copied. Then today I noticed a discussion about the puppy club asking who was in it. This led to me trying to find out what the puppy club is. Then one of your replies answered this question for me. Poor Terryz. I see that she is in the 'people that I admire' category. She was treated very unfairly by a person that stalked her. I was on a pregnancy site and one person was thought to be a troll. Sure enough that person stayed on the site. How awful. I hope that innocent Terryz is allowed back on My Lot very soon.

I have been asking myself that question over and over- ever sense I saw three puppy avatars in a row. I think it was because someone got deleted. At least, that was my understanding.
