I think it was for "endorsing outside businesses" or something like that. Yes, I'm telling everyone in my shop to stop playing Neopets and go to 7-11! MUAHAHAHAHH! -.-
Thats about the best (or worst) one ive heard yet! Its unbelieveable that someone could actually think of every little thing like that.

Wait, they cleared your lookup for having avatars on them?! That's insane, I'm sorry. There's that lookup code on a petpage and part of that is a place to put, say, your current or fav av and the one you really want.
Did you get a warning? If you did, what did it say? I'm curious what their reasoning was.
If you were covering your user stats that's one thing (another unwritten rule which needs to be put in writing, that you can't cover your user stats or use one of the new snazzy css codes that just shows your links as a list but no start date, last spotted, or shield showing).

I dunno, I've seen some borderline skanky user lookups with REALLY scantily clad women (real and animated 
) and they've been up for a while with no reprucussions from TNT.
I guess putting pictures up could be qualified as looking for a date (since people looking to find BF/GF's on chat boards always say "go to my lookup for a pic"). Or maybe Neo is just looking to protect its users so they can't be identified.

If I got frozen for something not in the rules, I'd complain. A lot. Since it should be told to me. That being said I was only frozen once and got my account back. Misunderstanding it was.
As for warnings I only think I've had two. Which were strange really as one was telling me not to talk about self harm on the boards. When it was me telling them not to
Still I'm not too botherd. A warning is only warning me. Even if they did get the wrong end of the stick.
Now when I warn people about talking on certain subjects I don't mention the actual subject. Just incase.
You have a point there. I don't doubt the people who did have their look-up cleared and warned for pictures were looking for dates. I know I reported someone for just that. Since he was spamming the boards to get girls to see his pic.
I can totally see the reason behind it if thats the case.
