An anti-neopets site? I'd almost rather trust the Neoboards.

Yeh, but when you read it, it sound so convinsing and offical.. xD

Eh, not everyone just bribes nine-year-olds to ruin reputations.

I remember that article, the author posted here about something or other, he was wrongfully frozen or something and became really bitter... But I did learn a good deal about auction sniping from him ^_^
Btw, thanks for those links, I got a Faerie Queen quest from one

i found this intresting

Quote:

My friend (as an April Fool's joke) made up the account, featherallley (three L's) and posted once in battle chat the word "hi". My friend was iced in a minute. Didn't swear, didn't post anything bad, just "hi". If there was any draconian system of rules, that silences everyone except the teacher's pets and suck-ups, it is neopets.

If you are a rich player, but complain about the neo-lag, the neo-glitches, the neo-scammers, the neo-nazi monitors, then you will get iced. Why? Cause Neopets doesn't want young kids and new players looking up to these rebellious "role-models". They only want cookie-cutter, plain, happy happy players like featheralley, garet_jaxx, and hrobi. Not rebels like duccatti or v_team who complain about Neopets. No no . . . they can't have people saying ANYTHING bad about neopets . . . there is no free speech in neopets.

Is that favoritism? No kidding. There is tons of favoritism in neoland. The staff restores accounts of players they like, and they ice accounts of players they don't like. It's just the way it is.

A little favoritism, surely. But it is an exaggeration. The featherallley account was frozen probly for fear of scamming (Not exactly unjustified).

i actually found this funny:

So, you want to know how not to get iced huh? Don't we all. I have found that if you avoid certain things, I can *almost* guarantee you will not be iced. Since I know the ways that you can get iced, you should follow these simple instructions to avoid ways I've seen others iced:

Don't post in chat.

Don't have a shop.

Don't buy from other people's shops.

Don't buy from Neopets shops (restocking).

Don't bid at auction.

Don't trade items.

Don't play games.

Don't send neomail.

Don't have anyone send you any items.

Don't get scammed and lose your account to a scammer.

Don't modify your userlookup.

Don't criticize or say ANYTHING bad about neopets, ever.

Don't log-on to your account from more than one computer/IP address, ever.

If you do all of these things, I can *almost* guarantee you will not get frozen. Not 100% on this, but almost.

Even I, master of TNT hating, find that just plain stupid... Don't modify your lookup? Dumb, just don't put anything offenceful in your lookup... Same with shops and neomail... That article is a disgrace to TNT haters...

I heard of ad0... I believe he's actually a "professional" hacker and once got sent to court for it. I wouldn't doubt it if he screwed with neopets as a joke that one time, but seriously, why would a great hacker waste time from a pretty much non-profit site?

I totally agree....those articles are pretty pathetic. I'm not saying there isn't a grain of truth in there, but overall they're pretty shamefully biased and exaggerated.

He doesnt look 13 in the photos. True, he doesnt have a powerful hairy man-chest, but he isnt a kid.

Anyhow, the article with "my friend was there next to him" is stupid and destroys any credibility the thing had.

Still, I remember when the whole thing happened, and oh, how I larfed.

Quite the bitter fellow( the original writer I mean, Im sure you're a nice one, Ducky). Looking at that list, we should ask ourselves lf if we've been frozen because having them, or because of what we did on them.

Theres such a thing as lying to ones self to such a point that one starts believing it. Sure, I agree that the Neopets Icing System is not perfect, human or automated. But it's whats there so live with it.

Some of these points are hilarious. Don't make a shop if you're going to put offensive statements in it would better suit it.

My favourite part; "Don't criticize or say ANYTHING bad about neopets, ever." Why would one bash Neopets on Neopets.
We don't have the freedom to openly criticize Neopets on Neopets; Constructive Criticism and outright mockery. Fine line, Fine line.

On Neopets, if you think somethings questionable, don't do it. It would be silly too. Specially if it risks you losing your account. Common Sense goes a long way on Neopets. I'm not saying that every freezing is a just one. I know mistakes happen. What I am saying is that holding a Vendetta is silly. Try to get it back, but don't loathe. Just not fun.

I remember the last time "Screw Neopets" came up on PPT. Gave me a good laugh(I had a baaadd cold, or atleast..thats what Dr. Sheep said.)

oh and ad0, haha, good times.

Why would he of gone and went after any low account? They froze the most well known accounts because those are the ones he had lists of(Yes, there were lists of some of the best accounts in the game(before you ask where, think about it: It's really simple)). I would of done the exact same thing in TNT's case.
