[Report Message] You have received an official warning from the Neopets Team for violating the Neopets Terms and Conditions. Hentai/Ecchi and other such pictures are strictly forbidden on Neopets. Do not even discuss it on this site. If you continue to break the rules, your account will be permanently frozen. To see a list of Neo Rules, please visit http://www.neopets.com/chatrules.phtml. Please do not reply to this NeoMessage.


:cry: What does this mean? I haven't any questionable anime pictures on my account, nor have I talked about them!

I got this approximately 5 minutes after I logged off last night. Last thing I was doing was advertizing my BC entry on the neoboards. (big surprise, I know :oops: )


Anyway, please help me out! My account is icegirl720, please tell me if there's anything you see that could have triggered that warning. Please.

Shocked you do not know what it means, I have gotten about 5. When people report you and what you did is not that bad or they catch you they give you a warning instead of being frozen.

You misunderstand me. I understand what a warning IS, just not WHY I got it. :P

5? So you're saying this may not be a big deal?

What was the your pic for the BC contest? What were the contents of your post advertising it?

My picture, which is on my lenny's lookup and petpage, is just a simple sketch of him looking confused with the slogan "Got Lenny?" next to him written in the "Got milk?" font.

Well, gee... I had several boards. It's all pretty random so I suppose some of them could have been taken the wrong way...

Here are the ones I remember:

My biggest, with over 200 replies, was creating slogans for other pets in the Beauty Contest using a slogan generator I googled.

There was also one about me apologizing for chewing on your hand.

And choking on a shoelace.

I'll post more as I think of them :)

I'm thinking that someone probably reported you for something... probably they warned you without really looking into it. :(

*sigh* Yeah, I can believe that :| I need to advertize my BC entry on the Neoboards... or else I probably wouldn't be on them. Because all the report-happy people are on there.

Oh well. I'll just back off the weird titles for a while. Thank you :)

I see nothing wrong. I just see a Taelia Lamp in your shop I can buy for my gallery. =D

Ah, the neoboards. Watch out there, there are some spiteful people that report you for no reason :(

Also known as the "Report Happy" people. (RHP for short :P)

Anywho, advertise here on PPT instead! Sure, you probably wouldn't get as much votes, but I'd rather be safe. :)

Neopets has warned me I think with out looking into it. It is unfair sometimes when you did nothing. It says though they will get frozen for abusing the report form, a bit confused but oh well.

Thanks :D


Yes, I am afraid of the neoboards o.o; After this BC (which I'm hoping I can place in, seeing as there are only about 20% of the entrants in Lenny as there are in, say, Kougra) I'm staying off em for a bit.

And I already am advertizing here :> *points to Bill*

Yeah... Don't talk on the neoboards... I never post there.

That's upsetting that you didn't do anything wrong. But look on the bright side, you didn't get frozen. TNT really needs to cut down on those pointless warnings. I imagine it just creates more work for themselves. So if thy put a little more effort into checking out reports, they'd probably save themselves a lot of trouble.

Ah, well. *hugs* Neoboards are evil!

If you really want to know, you can ask using the Support forms. I'm not sure if they'll give you specifics, but I know that people who have actually had their accounts frozen can often get an exact quote as to why.
