I'm going to post the ones that I agree with.


Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen

Some of these things I strongly disagree with.

The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
The rules of Neopets are too strict
Anyone with an account under n months is stupid

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
**Strongly Disagree. The website is so vast and has so many aspects to it that it clearly shows lots of work put into it.**

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently
**Neutral. The business-side of Neopets is showing itself more and more on the website but it IS still free for the most part.**

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
**Disagree. Idiots no but there definitely a nice number of them who are in a special world of their own...**

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen
**Neutral. I think it depends on how many times a scammer has scammed. If they managed to scam one or two people, they may not be caught. However, with multiple scammings comes the possibility of a few people who realized what happened and who did it to them. Once they report the user who scammed them, it is extremely easy to see exactly who they scammed and how (I know since I worked in Support a while back).**

The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
**Disagree. Granted there may be a few people who are innocent but I would not go as far as to say that it's the majority. Most likely they did receive several warnings prior to being frozen yet continued to do whatever it is they were doing.**

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
**Disagree. It's usually the same scams with different twists. If you know what they are and use some common sense, chances are you won't become a victim.**

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
**Disagree. They have warnings up to inform users of suspicious activity and what to avoid. What else can really be done?**

The rules of Neopets are too strict
**Disagree.**

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
**Disagree. The majority of people on Neopets have done nothing wrong to get frozen...**

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
**Strongly disagree. If they're acting stupid, it's most likely because the site is overwhelming and they're just a bit lost.**

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
**Hahahaha. No. Neopets is not in the same realm as my creativity. I'd be running a totally different website...**

My scale: 1 (strong agree) - 3 (no real opinion) - 5 (strong disagree)

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
5 - Only because I have no idea about running a site. It shows as much professionalism as other 'corporate' and 'high end' sites I go to.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently
4 - I never thought the site ever seemed money centered. Although, I willingly pay for Premium and love buying their merchandise, it never really bugged me.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
3 - Never go to the boards.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
3 - No comment either way.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
4 - Scamming is too easy in the real world, and no one can stop it as easily as it is 'controlled' on Neopets.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
5 - Aside from price controls in user shops and watching every transaction that takes place, there doesn't seem to be an effective way to prevent scamming. TNT is doing the best they can with the resources and intel they have.

The rules of Neopets are too strict
4 - As a big fan of rules, I think Neopets is pretty fair. They are more strict than other places I used to go, but every company is allowed to have the rules they want, whether or not they seem fair.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
10 - From my experience, most are decent people like you or me. We can't let a few bad apples ruin the bunch.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
5 - Only because some could be long time players that forgot their password or took a break.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
1,000,000,000 - Aside from wanting to help with stories and character design, I never want to gain any sort of absolute power sort of thing, even if I had good intensions.

Good survey!

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site

Strongly disagree. They have put in a lot of work. The content's amazing. I would never deny that.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently

Agree. I want to feel like a user, not a marketing target that's being used. It's possible for me to feel that way on sites that do everything that Neopets is doing. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be in it because they genuinely care anymore.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots

Er...maybe they're brilliant in real life, but that's not where I go when I want to have an intelligent discussion. Maybe it's just that the idiots are the loudest and get the most attention. However, the NeoBoards are not set up to encourage intelligent and open discussion. I honestly don't think the site's leadership wants them that way, either.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent

Disagree. I do think that too many innocent people are frozen and too many scammers aren't. It doesn't have to be that extreme to think that things should be different.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets

Strongly agree. I'm not really sure what you mean by "made too easy", but yeah. It kind of is too easy to scam someone. It's not intentional by the Neopets Team or anything, but scamming is not that difficult. It's unfortunate.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming

Disagree. They're doing lots of things to prevent scamming, but they're not really taking the most effective possible measures.

The rules of Neopets are too strict

Strongly disagree. I don't think they're too strict at all, but they're a bit unclear and inconsistent. I think the problem is more that they're unevenly applied.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen

Strongly disagree. Um...why? Maybe it seems like a lot of people are bad, but it's really just that the negative stuff gets the most attention. Most users are not breaking major rules or anything.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid

Disagree. There are intelligent, reasonable people joining every day. There are also idiots joining every day, but you can't assume that everyone new is one. In the context of the game, though, most newbies are going to make a few silly mistakes. It's learning from it that's important.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it

Agree. Well, I have a firm belief that any organization would benefit from the introduction of me, because I'm just that great. I can see a lot of things I'd do differently on Neopets, but they aren't doing a horrible job. The content would stay the course, because it is excellent. If I were in charge of the corporate and customer service side of things, things would be very different, if just in attitude.

I don't think the site's leadership believes it is possible for a company with millions of customers to make each one feel like the only customer they've got. But it is. Even online. I think most users start to feel a little faceless sometimes with the way the site's being run.

6 years ago when I first joined, there was nearly a million users, but I still felt like I was getting excellent customer service. There are plenty of companies that are based online and off that are that way now, too. Neopets just doesn't seem to want to be one of them.

Yeep. Sorry for rambling, but this is a topic that I care quite a bit about.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site Definately disagree, the neopets team are producing more than enough decent content for the site.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently Definately Agree, neopets is not a game but an 'immersive advertisement' as they like to call it. I'm fairly immune to these ads considering I don't live in America, and hate them, but with the amount of revenue they make every year they really could easily afford not to have them.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots Definately Agree.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent Agree. However it's not like the neopets team actually keep a page of 'kills' for everyone to view. It would be kinda nice to see that they are doing their jobs with things like 'Bob241526 has been executed for high treason against Neopia, 51 counts of scamming, etc...'

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets It's not that its made easy, it's just that in general people are stupid.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming They do plenty to prevent and discourage it, but there are lots of things that need to be implemented such as secure transfer to move items and pets around.

The rules of Neopets are too strict Definately. And Hypocritical. Best example is the word Sexy being banned yet appearing in numerous ads. Getting frozen for refreshing when things can only be gotten by refreshing is ridiculous.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen Disagree, however neopets when making the site statistics should post the realistic site statistics of how many users have been active in the past 6 months. I'm sure it's not even in the millions.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid No, just ignorant of the way neopets works. Or they have been frozen and have had to start again.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it Mmm...then I could swim in money and torture children by breaking their dreams and fun

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site

Disagree. There always seems to be something new or different on the site. What I do think is that some of the recurring problems need to be looked and fixed before putting new content up.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently

Hmm, well yes and no. If they were truly just going for the money, premium would just be open to all and/or the site would be completely pay to play. The site is free, premium is an option. I do think there is alot of merchandising, which isn't bad in and of itself, but the availability of the merchandise is an issue (not being able to get things you want).

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots

Neutral. I've met some absolutely wonderful, brilliant and polite people on the boards and I've met some who wouldn't know common sense, respect or brains if they hit 'em with a 2 by 4

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent

Neutral. I've seen scammers, even after being mass reported, still on the site. And I've seen the bad eggs kicked out within seconds. I wouldn't say the majority of people frozen are innocent, but I will say that there has been alot more questionable freezing lately - innocent parties who'd been frozen via being scammed, cracked, etc. get their accounts back, some people try to help by sending them things, then the person gets frozen for scamming or cheating - - that's totally unfair.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets

Yes and no. If people stop and think before they go buy that whatever on the tp someone's claiming is worth millions, or doesn't fall for the "I'm giving my account away" nonsense, things like that, there'd be alot less scamming. Again, common sense and either having it or not.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming

No and Yes. Neo does try very hard to prevent scamming. On the other hand, in a way they do encourage scamming with some things, like special avatars. I've seen more inflation, more schemes, more scamming with avatars than just about anything.

The rules of Neopets are too strict

In some respects, no, not strict enough. For instance, there should be a filter in place when people are creating user/pet/petpet/petpetpet names to stop some of the truly inappropriate things we've all seen.

In other respects, either too strict or too vague. There's too many people who're almost afraid to log into side accounts, people with shared computers wanting to send something to another player on that computer either not sending or holding their breath that they're going to get all the accounts on that computer frozen for "multi-ing".

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen

For what? As long as people follow the rules to the best of their ability then no. If someone does break a rule, I think a warning or maybe a suspension (depending) would be alot more appropriate than freezing. I also think warnings should be more specific and there should be a feedback form for exactly what you've been warned/suspended for that is responded to.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid

No! People quit, change their minds and come back, people get frozen and decide to start over, people just make a new account. Account age, like physical age, means nothing. It's what the person does and says that colors my opinion of them.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it

I'd sure love to help! I don't know about running it, as in making all the decisions. That sounds too daunting. But put me in charge of the unit responsible for warnings/suspensions/freezings. A very tough job to be sure, but I'd stay up all night looking into things if needed to be sure whatever had been done was correct.

The other things I'd change? Banner ads, or at least the bottom ads - gone. Being able to have 3rd party cookies, banner ads and the remove private header information in firewalls not interfere with being able to be on the site. I'd also hire people who did nothing but look at the ads (if they have to be there) to monitor what's going on the site in terms of the ads themselves and any spyware/malware/tracking cookies.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site

Disagree. Look at the LDP. That didn't just appear one day.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently

Disagree. They get a lot of money. They want more. As long as the site's quality doesn't dip because of it, I'm happy. I'm not going to rush out and get premium/TCG packs/The Darkest Faerie etc, but I don't care if people do

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots

Depends.
Old HC board (before the general chat was deleted and most of the regulars were frozen) = Disagree.
New HC board = Agree.
BD board at the times I visit = Disagree.
Avatar board = Strongly Agree

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent

Strongly disagree. It's the minority that people focus on. Its like life. Get good service somewhere, and you'll tell one person. Get terrible service someplace, you'll tell twenty people.

See a frozen scammer, you might talk about it for the next day at max. See a frozen innocent user, you'll talk about it for the next week...

Though I still believe there are no truely innocent frozen people.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets

Agree. It's made too easy by the idiots that believe scammers when they claim they work at neo/found a backdoor entrance to gain neopoints etc despite TNT constantly mentioning there are no cheats and nothing will ever require your password except logging in at http://www.neopets.com/loginpage.phtml and changing your details at http://www.neopets.com/userinfo.phtml

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming

Disagree. They're making quite drastic changes to the way the site works (EG : New pound rule). Scamming still carries on though because of the reason stated in the last question.

The rules of Neopets are too strict

Disagree. They're there for reasons. If you don't break them, you don't have to worry.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen

Disagree. Those who should be frozen, generally are.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid

Disagree. Frozen/new accounts etc. Though the majority of new members under a week etc, usually don't know much, they can learn...

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it

Though I'd like to say it was, my extreme lack of any coding knowledge would mean most of my suggestions would probably be unachievable.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
Strongly disagree o_o;

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently
Agree, though it doesn't really affect me *that* much

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
Agree xD

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
Agree.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
Disagree. As long as you're not a complete idiot, you probably won't fall for a scam.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
Strongly disagree. They freeze people, don't they? o_o

The rules of Neopets are too strict
Agree. Well, just the one-account bit, actually, the rest of it is fine.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
Disagree. Less fun with less competition.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
Disagree. They might have had an old account. And if it's a new account, they'll be inexperienced neopets-wise, but it doesn't nesscesarily make them "stupid."

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
Agree ^^;

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
Disagree, they put an awful lot out onto the site every day never mind the plots and pet days etc. They could do more to maintain the site though, like taking it offline for a couple of days to fix everything that needs fixing. And it would be nice if when a new item comes out it was always released.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently
Neutral. I think it has become too much about the money in some respects and I think the quality of the output sometimes suffers from that. On the other hand though they haven't even released merchandise in most of the world ¬_¬

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
Agree. I think most of the most vocal people on the neoboards are idiots unfortunately and the "report this message" button turns even more people into idiots. There are good people there I'm sure but it's enough to turn me off.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
Disagree. I think quite a few people are frozen wrongly and they are the most vocal, scammers are dealt with but if they have a non-static IP they just keep coming back. Sometimes they are too slow to freeze though.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
Neutral. I think they need to take the site offline for a few days to fix it up properly as it is rather messy in parts. However they do work against scamming as much as any one site can, you can never stop it entirely but the latest new pound rules show they are trying. On the other hand though they release avatars that cause inflation and result in more scamming... neutral here but only cause they cancel each other out.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
Oops, answered above.

The rules of Neopets are too strict
Disagree. I do not find their rules too strict, but I think their inconsistancy in applying them is terrible and they are still not put out clearly enough. They need to do more so that law abiding players feel safe - no non-rule breaking neopian should be scared of being wrongly frozen =(

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
Disagree. That would be... odd

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
Disagree. Of course not. Real age or account age have nothing to do with intelligence whether it be real or neopian.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
Well of course! Hehe, I would insist they take the site down to safe guard it and clean up some stuff. I'd release all the MIA items, lay out all the rules properly and in great detail, and code a way for people to link their side accounts to their main where it is impossible to make money on the sides so people are protected from undeserved freezings.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
Disagree. With so many people on the site and so much to maintain they do well to release something everyday. I would however say that maybe their priorities in regards to content aren't as good as what they could be.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently
Somewhat agree. Much of the site content has made a movement towards being related to their current merchandise.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
Ignoring the fact that there are people of varying ages there I'd have to say, yes. Or, at least, those that are idiots overshadow those that aren't.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
New scammers pop-up everyday and those that are frozen come back with new accounts. TNT does well to freeze as many as they do. I'm never sure about people who claim to be innocently frozen so I'm not going to make a decision on the second point.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
TNT does what they can. Short of getting a number of responsible users to monitor the Boards in addition to their Monitors I don't see how they could do a whole lot more.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
They do freeze for it so they aren't doing nothing. They also have pages identifying the various scams and such. Problem is a lot of users aren't informed enough to avoid it themselves.

The rules of Neopets are too strict
I think they're fine.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
Don't know how anyone could agree with this *shrugs*

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
Disagree. Some people are stupid irrelevant of their actual age or the age of their accounts.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
Provided the current team was still in place I could bring some new ideas that might help to improve it.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site
No. There's a lot going on in this site, and I can't imagine making all the things that happen go as smoothly as they do.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently
...Yeah. I don't know much about the premium service, but it sounds like it's going the way of everything else: the rich benefit and the poor get the short end of the stick.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
No. Everyone just has an opinion/wants to be heard.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent
Ummm...I think it's hard to catch everyone, but I also think that there's a reasonable amount of research put into freezing someone before doing so.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
"Made" too easy? No. I think scamming happens. Everywhere.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
No. Even though there are some really expensive items and some look-alike items out there (comes to mind - PB plushies), I don't think it's done so people can be scammed.

The rules of Neopets are too strict
Some of them are. I don't like the limitations placed on number of accounts (I'm so paranoid about this that I only have one), nor do I understand all the rules about neopoint earning on extra accounts. So yeah, I guess I have an issue with some of them.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
Um, no. What would be the purpose of that??

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
Yeah, and so are ALL people with blonde hair/long fingernails/etc. Nope, they're just inexperienced, as we all were at one point or another.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
No. I don't need that many people mad at me. I already wake up four-year-olds and their parents at three in the morning; that's enough screaming and whining for me.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site

Disagree. They put loads of work into it in order to give us sizeable updates every day. They do fail to work on some things, like Neoschools and the Lost Dessert Plot Prizes, but all in all they do a good job.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently

Agree. Most of their plots have been focused on their trading card game. Premium people keep getting more and more features. All money oriented signs comming from TNT.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots
Agree. Why chat on the neoboards when you can come to PPT

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent

Disagree. There are unfrozen scammers and frozen innocents, but majority? It isnt that bad.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets
Disagree. Neopets doesnt make scamming too easy. Its the stupid people who fall for the scams that make it easy. That isnt TNT's fault.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming
Disagree: What else could they do? Most scammers dont care about their account, but there frankly isnt anything worse than an IP ban that TNT could possibly give them.

The rules of Neopets are too strict
Disagree. They are fine the way they are.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen
Disagree. Most people play the site fairly.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid
Disagree. You can never make such a broad statment.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it
Agree. Well, right now it would be. I probably wouldnt have had the same success at the start. =P

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site.
I disagree. They have enormous amounts of content and I never have enough time to do more than a little part of it. There is always plenty to do. Many people have said that Neopets has more content than other virtual pet sites. Whether this is true is another matter.

The Neopets Team has been too revolved around money recently.
Judging from what people talk about, it would be a probable 'yes'. They do seem to be producing a lot of merchandise and getting a lot of sponsors.

Most people on the NeoBoards are idiots.
Well, I don't spend much time on the NeoBoards (or Neopets, for that matter). When I did go, I didn't actually see that many idiots, since I hung around the Quest Help board. I think it depends on where you hang out - most of the 'idiots' I saw where through screenshots of conversations with them that other people posted. I simply chose not to read topics I knew would get me upset and hung around boards where there were quite a fair bit of normal people, so my experience of the NeoBoards have been fairly mediocre.

The Majority of Scammers aren't frozen or The Majority of Frozen people are innocent.
I don't think the majority of scammers have been frozen, but I can't provide much logic to back up my argument.

On the other hand, I doubt that the majority of frozen people are completely innocent. True, there are many people who are unfairly frozen and those are the voices we hear demanding their accounts back. But how likely are you to hear the voice of someone who was fairly frozen - for scamming or cheating - to demand their account back? They are more than likely to make a new one and do the same thing again.

Scamming is made too easy on Neopets.
Oh yes. Even I thought of a way to successfully scam people without getting caught (not that I would do it), and I'm not known for thinking up great plots.

Neopets are doing nothing to prevent or encouraging Scamming.
They do have certain measures that try to prevent scamming (and of course they are doing nothing to encourage scamming - I'd be quite shocked if they did). I just think that those measures are not far-reaching or effective enough, and that they could do better.

The rules of Neopets are too strict.
Personally, I believe that most of their rules are really very fair in theory. Those rules are in place to protect the majority of the people against people who are looking to take advantage of others. I may not like some of them, but I can understand their logic behind it. All that I want is for them to be more clear-cut about their rules and for the staff to have the same opinions about what is acceptable or not. There is a problem when individual staff members have different opinions from one another.

The majority of people on Neopets should be frozen.
Certainly not. I believe that the majority of people playing Neopets are very normal, despite the fact that there seem to also be many so-called idiots. Most people don't hang around the NeoBoards.

Anyone with an account under n months is stupid.
Of course not. Everyone had to start somewhere. Some people learn, some people don't.

Neopets would be a lot better if I were running it.
Well ... No. Although I would love to give some suggestions, I've never had any experience running a real corporation and there is no way that I would do a better job, given my general lack of knowledge.

The Neopets Team put in little work regarding the content of the online site.
