Question regarding multiple accounts

Mon Jul 05, 2004 9:33 am

Ok, I got a main account and 2 galleries. I only use the galleries for displaying items, nothing else. Everything important (like earning NP's and playing games) happens on my main account.

However I'm really annoyed by that limit of shares you're allowed to buy each day! It's a good way of earning NP's, therefore I would like to buy more - so I wonder is it allowed to buy stocks on other accounts too?

Ok, it's a game - BUT there isn't a highscore list! If I use the NP's I earn in my galleries only in my galleries would it be ok then?! o_O

And would it be ok if I transfer NP's to my galleries to start buying?

I think because it's a game it would be considered playing on multiple accounts, plus there is a limit there for a reason, if you were allowed to play on multiple accounts I don't think it would have a limit.

No, I don't think that's ok. Have the two accounts just for galleries is fine, but to buy more shares per day isn't.

It's like spinning the Wheel of Excitement. There's an amount of time before you can spin it again. You can't just go on another account to spin it before you can spin it on your main account >_<

Yeah I know.... This limit is for a reason, however using 3 accounts wouldn't be that much of abusing the limit... I mean that would still "only" be 3000 shares a day. (Not that I would buy that much every day.)

But to be honest I think you guys are right - however I hoped that would be ok... 0:)

I guess it's best I don't do this...

No, you can't buy stocks, scratchcards, restock from the main shops or get a trophy (meaning you can't enter any spotlites or bc) on other accounts, along with the no dailies/games.

neopets = paranoid. The chance that they would care that you use it only as a gallery is slim. they iced my gallery

Well, it's no topic for me anymore. They froze me on monday.

No idea what for actually, but it seems like I'm getting my account back. I wrote to a staff member that actually replied. Seems like it was a mistake anyway... Strange feeling though, first time in over 30 months that happened to me. I never received a warning...

They froze you?!

What reason did they give? I mean, the fact that you posted here asking if something was alright or not to do says that you do care about following the rules!

Did you use the send to neofriend something really rare or expensive to your gallery? That seems to get so many people in trouble, which is absurd. I mean all they have to do is look and see that you have a main account and a gallery and you're buying on your main and just sending things for the gallery over. Same if you're using the tp to send some np to your gallery for shop upgrades.

I'm so sorry this happened, and I hope that since you somehow got a reply so quickly (amazing) that you will be unfrozen just as quickly. And I hope that an explanation is given to you by the staff member when you're unfrozen and that everything is there in your account.

Please do keep us posted.

Well, things started to get REALLY absurd!!!

Today I received another mail telling me why I was frozen. (They said for inappropriate content, offensive or chain letters - lol, as if I was dumb enough to think that works...)

Well, he sent me a post that promoted a scam-website. And when I read that post I remembered that I saw that post in the Help Chat and I reported that immediately. Some people thought they'll receive items and NP's as well. I didn't even post on this board!!!! So I guess they made a mistake when reading my report!!!! Instead of freezing this dumb guy who posted that they froze ME! I dunno why!!!!!! I never received a warning or anything like that!

But it's quite obvious this post wasn't by me. It had really bad spelling in it too... It also contained a username (not MINE!)... So all I think this is that they made a mistake by hitting the wrong "freeze" button...

I'm gonna create a new topic about the freezing now as there's something else I wanna tell...
