bluewisp16 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Is it against the rules to accept neopoints from another user in order to get an avatar such as asparagus? Also, if you somebody did lend neopoints to you, are you allowed to put it into your bank to get Ultimate Riches! and then with draw it and return it to the original user?

Alynniae Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 to answer the first question: somebody has to lend you the FULL price, not 3/4 and you have the other 1/4, that's called item pooling, and that's very much against the rules, you may NOT tip or gift somebody for a lend or ask for a tip, and you must give every single np back to the lender. i don't know about the second question, you should ask that in the editorial <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Plus what's been mentioned above about item pooling, I assume you can, if wouldn't be against the rules, would it? And the stocks thing, too,then. Ask ask ask! :D EDITORIAAAAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alynniae Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 no, item pooling is against the rules *tries to find the editorial(s) i read that* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSummer Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 as long as u have an item to say trade with the right amount of nps it is not a problem but if u put a item in ur shop that is worth 1 np and they say give you like 4 mil, neopets will see that as you may of bought it offline and freeze you.

Suus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 no, item pooling is against the rules *tries to find the editorial(s) i read that* I found that for you: "I saw a nice Neopian on the Avatar Chat looking to be lent 600k for the Adam avatar and I lent it to her. She also had a friend of hers lend her some Neopoints. Therefore, she had two people lending her Neopoints for the avatar. I thought I was doing a nice favor, but after I lent her the Neopoints someone came on the boards and wrote, "I do believe this is item pooling and you just broke the rules." Can you clear this up for me? This was the first time I had heard of item pooling. Can you explain to me if this is item pooling, and explain what item pooling actually is? I really thought that I was being nice; I had no clue that what I was doing could be against the rules. I'm scared now. Please explain to me; I don't want to be frozen. :( ~saphirathedragon1988 Item pooling is when multiple people pool together their resources (NP or items) in order to purchase something or attain a particular goal (like getting the Adam avatar). While it was very kind of you to help another Neopian, yes, we do have rules against pooling resources for avatars like that (but not because of nice people like you, though). :) Just like in the real world, there are nice, decent people and then there are others who would take advantage of your kindness. Luckily it sounds like the person you helped was an honest one, but unfortunately (like the poster said) we've had to make rules against lending due to some selfish Neopians who prey on the kindness of others by taking items and NP lent to them in good faith and running off with what they've gotten. In order to protect honest Neopians from scammers we've decided not to allow item / NP pooling for avatars, as we previously had a big problem with people using item / NP pooling for avatars as an opportunity to scam. Also keep in mind that you are not allowed to lend anything to another user with the expectation of getting back anything besides exactly what you lent." From the Neopets Editorial - Issue: 424 Jellyneo's editorial database is really useful sometimes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
