Warning to Neo users...

Sat Oct 23, 2004 10:41 am

Basically every time there's a new Mystery Pic, there's a thread about it on the Neoboards. Apparently, in the last 10 minutes or so, they decided it was a freezeable offence.

First Jas got a warning, then about two minutes later after I created a board, I got one. However, mine had something hers didn't.

You have received an official warning from the Neopets Team for violating the Neopets Terms and Conditions. Cheating is not allowed, and there are no quick and easy ways to get rich. Do not buy, trade or sell alleged secrets or tricks anywhere on Neopets. Do not discuss Mystery Pic answers on the boards or anywhere else! This makes it unfair for the other players! 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.

I think it's utterly ridiculous. And there's the fact it's not even in the Neo Rules.

That's so dumb! But thanks for the warning... Neopets are getting stupid lately, they warned me for doing a theme of the week in the guild I'm in and gave me a link to the rules, where nothing like that is written x__X;

I didn't do anything wrong, though. Not one thing I had typed was bad. O.o

I knew I shouldn't have gone on the neoboards. I haven't been on there in about a year and this is what happens. -.- I just wanted to start the new MP thread because the old one was running out of space. I so hope I don't get frozen from this.

*is very worried now*

Edit:
Now all of Alex's posts were deleted from the MP board. Can anyone say "conspiracy"? O.o

They really should go through all of the 5 maxed out threads from tonight and warn all those people too, but no, they only target the people of the tiny, harmless thread.

Oh yes, because we all know that I'm leaking top secret information.

I doubt you'll get frozen since you already got a warning. However, thanks for the heads up. I believe many people still think it is legal to discuss the mystery pic on the neobaords.

On the bright side, we can still discuss it here, while those on the neoboard will not go shooting thier mouths off as usual, so the np award should become significantly larger.

Whenever a player gets warned, all of their posts on the NeoBoard and their guild get wiped.

The thing is, there were 5 complete boards before ours, all up to or near 10 pages. There is still one of the last ones up and it seems to be fine. Someone else just got a warning as well. Also, the newest board started was just deleted.

You serious? Well, that explains a lot then.

Argh, that really sucks, Alex. I suppose they felt that they had to do something, only the bigger threads were too much bother. Or maybe I'm completely far off.

highly hypocritical of them to do that, and let these more obvious ones slip by

i wish they would put these in the rules, it makes it really unfair not to mention these, and then just freeze people

and freezing seems rather harsh for just creating a board to talk about these,

Sat Oct 23, 2004 11:10 am

This is nuts. Two more people just got warnings, and someone else just got frozen.

Sat Oct 23, 2004 11:14 am

were these people creators of boards or did they just post on them?

i've never liked the freezing system, since its one punishment for all the different things tnt decides to punish for.

and i've just read and reread the chat rules, you aren't breaking them, maybe they are refering to the T&C?

Sat Oct 23, 2004 11:19 am

I was a creator, so was Jas. The other two just posted.

Jas, Chris, Alex, and I are talking to a few of them now.

Sat Oct 23, 2004 11:21 am

They just posted on the board and one of them got frozen?

Neopets is getting WAY too paranoid!
