So he got frozen for charging money to use this? Or does the team not want anyone to use it? What if they freeze people for using this?!
Here's my take on it. I don't think TNT will be doing any freezing.
1. Altador Plot - People used the constilation maps and star maps and such and weren't frozen. They are essentially the same things. They can't look back and say, "These things have always been banned," because they haven't.
2. The maker - I personally think the guy was frozen for either posting off site links, or accepting payments. Apparently people were sending him things in the masses, this may of set of a red light at TNT HQ. He probably did advertise his site on his user lookup so it is quite possible.
3. Tons of People Are Using it - Can you imagine how many people are using this generator? I'm not sure if TNT could even tell if you used the generator. Even if they could, TNT would never be able to catch everyone. They never do, and they never can. They would have to freeze so many people I just don't think TNT would do it. If what someone said earlier here is true, the guy has had over 12,000 hits on his site because of it. That's probably 12,000 neopets players that would be frozen. There are 48,007 users online right now. 12,000 is a HUGE chunk of that. I just don't think it's probable.
4. Also, the people apperently "frozen" due to this have had no proof posted whatsoever. They could have been frozen for something else.
Is it cheating? I'm not sure, someone just figured out how to do it and made it so everyone else could use it. Also, I'm sure plenty of people have used it unknowingly and TNT just doesn't want to freeze people in the masses like this. I think we will have a clear answer though by the Friday editorial.
