I posted the contest on the boards because I wanted first: A wide distribution range, and second: A fair chance for participants to have jelly. The money tree has greedy people who camp there all day and just take any item they see, and probably also has a good deal of people who use programs to grab items automatically.
I gave away 299 jellies with no problem, until I moved the giveaway to the Avatars/NeoSigs board by someone's suggestion. The BDers and all the other boards I had been on hadn't complained at all save for the Help board which had a slight concern, but nobody found anything wrong with it.
Nobody here was interested in the giveaway, so I didn't bother mentioning it again until I took a screeny of my 9-times-full inventory.
[rant]It's my opinion that the customer support staff and monitors on Neopets are terrible. Once again, I find myself without ANY REPLY WHATSOEVER to my Frozen forms, and warned for something that really ISN'T against the rules- Read the warning again.

Contests, promotions, lotteries, FTPs, Wishboards, or raffles are not permitted anywhere on Neopets including shops and guilds.
Now that I look back on it, I can understand why I might have been warned so long ago for asking someone to capitalize God, but this is downright stupid. Nothing is mentioned about giving items to people at
no cost or obligation (save for posting on the board that they wanted it, which is hardly scamming people out of anything), which is what I was doing. [/rant]
Heheheh- Someone on Neo gave me a
kindness award (Though it's too pink for me
)
