youngrace Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 i've recently had someone be really sweet and lend me a few things, and we became neofriends in the process. i'd really like to give him a little something for the holidays, but am not sure how to go about it without tnt interpreting it as "tipping." where exactly do they draw the line? a bit of clarification would be much appreciated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alynniae Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 this isn't tipping. you are neofriends, you give gifts because you like each other, so it's not tipping :D tipping is when you give somebody something for a service, but being neofriends is no service. just in case: how long is it ago she lend you something? wait a month after the lending, to be sure they don't think you're tipping it's nice to give gifts :D People here are nice :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngrace Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 thanks for the answer! ^_^ just being cautious because sometimes idk with tnt and their rules. hmm, it was fairly recently...like within a week? and the items were pretty big, so i'm feeling a bit iffy. but i'm buying most of my holiday gifts now, and i'd like to buy something for them, if possible. i just wish there were better guidelines for what's tipping and what's not. :/ were there any nt editorials that addressed this?

Zorse Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I think it would be fine if you gave them the gift on Christmas. It's normal to send/receive gifts on that day, and you guys are neofriends so definitely not something unusual. If you weren't neofriends then it might look like tipping but in this situation I don't see anything wrong with it/not too obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 i'm curious why tnt would think its a problem? i give people things all the time, e.g. if i get quest help on the neoboards i always give them something for their trouble. i consider it a thankyou for tthe time people spend to do stuff, and i would do the same if i organised a lend, didn't realise this is freezable? and i'm not really good at tipping, if i go to europe or the us i'm going to be in trouble. i understand the concept, but its not something people normally do where i am. :eh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
