Penguin Actions
As you win and buy more and more outfits and objects from Club Penguin, will will learn that many of them have their own very special actions. Below I have put on a heaps of my different outfits and objects, pressed the dance function and discovered some really kewl actions. My favourite is the clown.

Just remember when you want to make the action you have to ‘usually’ wear ONLY one outfit or object. For example if you want to make an ice cream, you have to take of all your other outfits and only wear the blue apron.  To get the clown to work you have to wear the full outfit, this includes the hair, shoes and suit. Sometimes you can wear something else, I think you can still kick the soccer ball when you also wear the soccer outfit.

Moderating Penguin Conversations and Behaviour.

Club Penguin constantly update their safety filter, but sometimes offensive words and phrases may get through.

Club Penguin also protects their Penguins with online Penguins staff to keep an eye on Penguin chats and activities. Their is a Moderator Shield with an M in it at the top, right corner of your screen that you can click if you feel that a Penguin’s language or behaviour needs to be reported. The Moderator screen will give you the instructions on how to Ignore or Report that Penguin to a moderator.

The online Moderator at Club Penguin

So, to ignore a Penguin click on the annoying Penguin to get their Penguin screen to come up,  and at the bottom of their screen you will see a number of options. The one that looks like a skull face is the ignore Penguin button.

How to Ignore A Penguin

If you want to Report a Penguin, click on the Penguin that is upsetting you and at the bottom of their screen you will see a number of options. Click the Moderator Shield button, which is the last button to the right.

How to Report A Penguin

After you click on the Report Button the following screen will appear.

The report a Penguin Screen

You will then have to fill out a report about what the Penguin has done to deserve to be reported.

Club Penguin record all conversations that take place when the report is sent. Club Penguin’s Moderators then review the conversations and determine whether or not to ban a Penguin. Penguins who behave badly can be silenced or banned. Accounts can be banned for 24 hours, 72 hours or forever depending on the offence.

Club Penguin also automatically bans Penguin that say bad words. Those bans are straight away. A Penguin can also receive a ban when ever they are found breaking  Club Penguin Rules.

Club Penguin has 4 simple rules. http://support.clubpenguin.com/help/faq/club_penguin_rules.htm The rules below are from the Club Penguin Help Site

1. Respect other penguins – No swearing, cheating, bullying or mean behaviour toward other penguins. Disciplinary action will be taken should any one of these occur while playing.
2. Never reveal your personal information - The best way to stay safe online is to NEVER share your real name, phone number, address, email or passwords.
3. No inappropriate talk – References to drugs and alcohol related activities, and sexual, racial or otherwise inappropriate talk are not permitted.
4. No Cheating – Any use of third party programs to cheat is not allowed. Players who use any third party programs while playing risk being permanently banned.

Club Penguin works really hard to keep their Penguins happy and Safe, but it is important for all penguins to be aware of their own personal safety when online. You should never tell anyone your personal information.

• Never use your real name for your Penguins name and avoid rude or offensive names even if you think they are funny, others might take the wrong meaning from them.
• Never reveal your real name, age, address, phone number, suburb or school. Not everyone is honest, so it is better to be safe then sorry.
• Never reveal your password to anyone but your parents. If someone knows your password, they can pretend to be you, and get you into all kinds of trouble. I once told a so-called friend my password and they later used it and had me banned for swearing. I had just received my membership as a reward from my mum, and I was really excited because a new catalogue was due and a big party and she caused me to be banned for 72 hours. Since then I never tell anyone but my parents, I still don’t know what she might have been saying about me before she had me banned.
• You should also let your parents know when something bad happens, espically if someone is making you feel uncomfortable and asking you about personal stuff, like where you live.
• If you are new to Club Penguin and feel a little nervous, you should start out with Ultimate Safe Chatl That way you know you will be hanging out with other Penguins that are happy to just use the everyday conversations available in the menus and later when you feel better you can change.

I hope this is helpful to all you new penguins.

Club Penguin’s Captain Rockhopper

Club Penguin has a few very special Personalities. One of the most famous is Captain Rockhopper.

Rockhopper is a very popular Penguin and is a famous Captain of the ship called the Migrator. He spends most of his time exploring the seas, searching for adventure and treasure. Now and then, on special occasions, Rockhopper returns to Club Penguin with Treasures to share and sell with all the Penguins.

If your lucky you might see the Migrator through the Telescope at the Beacon on the Lighthouse.

Looking for Rockhopper through the Telescope at the Beacon on the Lighthouse.

I just went up there today and I was lucky to spy the Migrator.

Finding Rockhopper through the Telescope at the Beacon on the Lighthouse.

Captain Rockhopper docks the Migrator at the Beach, next to the Lighthouse, when he visits Club Penguin. While the ship in docked you can visited on board, Rockhopper often has an array of treasures for sale in the Hold of his Ship. When he arrives the Penguins go MAD, everyone one wants to see and meet him and when he is in town you will know, because you will see a Crazy Swarm of Penguins desperate to meet Rockhopper, me included…

If you would like to know more about Rockhopper, he has a Journal located in the Library, inside the Book room which is located above the Coffee Shop.
