I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to create a progeam to recognise the difference in shade in the code. If you knew what font was used, you could easily make a program to figure out what the code is... I'm guessing. I'm no programmer!

From my little knowledge of things, apparently there's a bit of code they can include that recognizes the code and can input it automatically (I don't remember what it's called -- Optical Character Recognition [OCR])

just out of curiosity, how would they know if you're using one?

As it is, the programmers have ways of making it indistinguishible from a normal person browsing, but TNT catches you and freezes you when theres glitches or something screws up with them- like if they change the restock code, they can catch autobuyers. Most of the time, it has to do with changing the site to throw off the sutobuyers.
personally, i think TNT's wasting their time. Theres no way theyre going to stop autobuyers short of shutting down the site entirely. no matter how many freezing s they do people just make new accounts

Well, in the autobuyer I had you could tell it what items you wanted it to get, in what shop and the refresh delay, so I presume that if tnt sees you getting 20 r90+ items in one rs, they'll obviously know you are using an AB.
Of course, you could just tell it to get 1 or 2 rare items and the rest junk.

Uh whilst I dont actually have it anymore I can try and faithfully recreate what the layout of the program was. *summons memory*
Ok well essentially it looked like this

Do not try downloading one.. usually the ones in msn groups have backdoors. (I tried to download one, and it was infected with SubSeven.) I've seen some code to some, and they're pretty basic.

I believe the same thing....no matter how many times ppl are frozen, they will just create a new account. I wish IP blockes were in use.

There are so many problems with an IP freeze. With a dynamic IP address, all you need to do is unplug your modem to get a new one. Your old one gets released, and if another neo player got it, they'd be wrongfully frozen.

IP blocks are in use. Sadly, one of my friends has been the victim of one. He would never do anything wrong, but they frozen his first account shortly after he got hacked, then every account he's tried to start afterwards has been shortly frozen. We think maybe they blocked it because of the original hacker, but he hasn't gotten any responses, so we have no real idea. This has been going on since shortly before the old PPT went down.
