When I try to name rooms, such as Dakota and Leah's Room, a pop-up comes saying, Oops... You have used a word that is not allowed.
Thank you! Excellent.This is a 'feature' that Webkinz recently implemented. It used to be that you could name your room whatever you want. Now, you have to choose from their dictionary - which is a fairly limited dictionary (for example, 'bedroom' is not listed). Their reasoning is that it somehow provides greater safety for the kids (although I fail to see how blocking a stranger from using a potentially offensive name would protect my kids). If they're serious about safety, they can find lists of offensive words and block those rather than blocking everything.
The problem is that my daughter has > 50 Webkinz (and more almost every month) and every one has its own room. The only way she can keep track of where she is to name the room after the pet. That is,"'Bob" has "Bob's room". Until they straighten this out, she's not entering any more Webkinz on their site - and may not buy any more.
Please write to [email protected] or use their online suggestions feature (or both!) to tell them that this is a silly idea and request that they go back to allowing kids to name their rooms after the pets.
What? Then how come it works on mine? My first webkinz "Claudia" i made her room called "Claudia's Room". I also did it with my other 4 webkinz's rooms. Nothing poped up. It was all fine.You can't put in names and places anywhere on webkinz. Sorry to have to tell you that. It's like Splash said.
I made a romm called Living Room...you cant ever write "Living Room" so i had to name it "Family Room" >_>
