Mentioning PPT is Disallowed?

#1 Post by Siouxper »

You have received an official warning from the Neopets Team for violating the Neopets Terms and Conditions. Please do not post off-site links of ANY kind or advertise commercial websites. Also for your own safety, do not exchange user information for other websites and games (this includes friend codes!) 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.


Yeah, you're probably tired of me complain about my warnings :lol:

There are only 2 things that could've earned me this warning: making a topic called "Have you heard of PinkPT?", or when I mentioned MSN and AIM using the "emesen" and "eh eye em" spellings. Do you think this means that mentioning offsite places is disallowed, or am I viewing this whole thing wrong? I'll submit a form to see exactly what I did to earn this one :roll:

You're clearly in violation of the terms by having typed anything at all :P

But numerous others mentioned AIM and MSN and didn't get in trouble :x TNT should provide the post/whatever that caused you to get the warning to prevent confusion. I've been confused as to what I did on past warnings as well xD

It's called "hypocrisy." Because of the number of who've come in, with all these great ideas, implemented two or three, and then (to all appearances) lost interest, it's all over Neopets.

The new mods seem like they follow every rule to the letter. They don't give a damn about whether the other staff said it was allowed (like grandfathered names being iced, even though they were told their names were perfectly fine. Also, they still have the Maraqua video clip with the word "hell" in it. They warn/suspend/ice us for saying it, yet they still keep the clip up on their site?)

Just for the record, I once got suspended for having a link to a Neopets fansite in my signature. Then again, these were the German boards and that fansite was focusing on Subeta as well, but I thought I'd mention it anyway :/

I would personally stay away from mentioning anything outside of Neopets on the Neopets website (that includes PPT, MSN, AIM, and any other website). They have always had issues with the idea of players contacting other players outside of their site, and given all of the CG attacks, I'm not surprised at all that they're heavily going after the mention of outside websites.

Sorry to hear about the warning Siouxper :(

Yeah, they're really getting strict now :(

It's alright, May :P This is my 4th one since March, so it's not really a big deal :lol: I've gotten used to TNT giving me them xD

TNT has said that they allow people to talk about sites that are well known and provide reputable help & guides. avatar.starried, sunnyneo, jellyneo, and so on all seem to be allowed. Especially when it comes to plot help, avatars, and signatures. They'd rather focus on preventing known cheating, rival, and scam sites from being posted. One well known user has even taken TNTs statement to mean that she is allowed to post her own personal website, but I shan't go into that :P

I saw your PPT board (and posted on it), and it continued for a while and seemed pretty harmless. Id be more inclined to think it was the AIM and MSN stuff that they got you on. Or maybe TNT is being silly and forgetting their own statements, so mentioning PPT was the problem.

Looks like I might've gotten the warning for saying PPT; someone just got warned for mentioning IDB.

The Item Database? Ughh. I understand that Neopets owns the sites and sets the rules... but my word. How on earth does mentioning the site warrant a warning? THAT is exactly why I stay away from the neoboards.

No idea but my theory is that maybe these new staff on Neopets feel that battledomers knowing what are good weapons and bad weapons gives them an unfair advantage over the battledomers who don't know about the weapons and/or can't afford them.

Then again it could be also be because IDB has a MapleStory section on their IDB forum for the MMORPG.
