Permanently Silenced

[angiekins]

Omg this is so ironic, I just posted in a topic where a person was permanently silenced and now I am. I'm not even sure what I did.

I'm not sure what I should I do. How do I contact support?

So sorry this happened to you, seems like permanent silencing has been happening a lot lately :( Open up a ticket on the site (you can do so from the Neopets Help Centre) and include any information you can about what happened. Then, unfortunately, all you can do is wait.

[Rebecca~]

Ugh, I'm so sorry! :( As Ginger said, go into the help area (http://www.neopets.com/help.phtml), click "request support" at the top, and then "submit a ticket". Put in all the information you can think of. Hopefully you'll be able to have the silence reversed!

Thank you! I hope so too.

Wow, you too?! Now I'm getting all paranoid, and I rarely use the boards. Good luck getting the silence lifted.

[The Bandit]

If you think it's a mistake, definitely get in contact. Hope you get it sorted.

 

Worrying that this is happening more frequently - had you even had a warning?

 

i guess the only slightly good thing is that it's better than people getting frozen...

I didn't even use the neoboards today. :l

Yes lol because of neomail, my friend signed up for neopets and sometimes we talk over neomail, that probably wasn't wise.

I thought TNT has got the filter *scratches head*

Or is it that when one gets blocked by the filter a certain number of times, they get a warning & so on? :tired:

[-Ryan]

lol we can be perma-buddies.

TNT is ridiculous

[jurassicshark]

This is probably my ultimate fear along with being frozen.. wow. Hopefully you get it sorted out if it really was an accident.

[dummydumpty]

Perhaps it's one of those filters? It's really annoying not to be able to say certain words on Neopets.

 

But yeah, I don't suggest using Neomail to discuss about anything with your friend. Someone on this forum got warned for talking about hospital and death (? I'm not sure, but something along those lines), because it's an ~adult~ topic.

They do, and I had a few of my messages get blocked so I had to change it. I'm just really use to writing "omfg" or "lmfao" and I don't notice it until they tell me to change my message.

Tell me about it..

Yeah it was mine too haha, now I can't even edit any of my pages. I hope so too.

Oh wow, the rules are so strict, many people on Neopets are already grown and matured. I had to go back and change my wording a couple of times but it was fine.

[Ysera]

Oh, I never thought that being perma silenced means you won't be able to edit your pages. I thought you just won't be able to post on the boards or send neomail.

 

What else does being perma silenced entail?

 

To all those who were dealt with this harsh punishment, I'm really sorry to hear that. TNT's strictness is one of the reasons I never even want to post on the boards. I only recently posted on the NC mall board to do trades. But I've never really used it (or even found it helpful, actually). I prefer fansite forums like TDN. ^_^

When you're silenced you can't contact anyone, and you can't make any changes to pages that would basically allow you to contact people. So you can't edit your user page, petpages, or pet lookups, send neomail, or post on neoboards or guild boards. I believe you are also not allowed to post anything in trade descriptions. It's pretty rough.

I thought things will be ok if you go back & edit your message.

I didn't think too much of that will result in a perma-silence o:

[poptart123]

Oh no! So sorry this happened to you. Like a lot of others have mentioned, I am terrified of this happening to me. A lot of my family members and I chat occasionally and I am constantly looking over what I type to find if there are "inappropriate" words within words. Maybe I will just stick to texting them from now on :worried:

[Nika]

You can't even edit information? I would start a new account and just transfer my important things a little at a time so as not to raise suspicion. But avatars! UGH. I'm really sorry this happened.

That is a scary idea, considering you can edit a single neomail over and over and never find why the filter is blocking it. You know you can't say the words method or assume?! I know the filter is there for a reason, but I think TNT's system is outdated at best and derp at worst. It's aggravating :sad01_anim:

I'm not exactly sure why I would get perm silenced if I went back to change it anyways.

Yeah I never thought this would happen to me haha. Sticking to just texting would be wise :P

I have another account but I don't want to transfer everything because I want to get more avatars and that involves money. :l

I don't think they'll freeze my account, I mean I can't do anything else wrong if I can't even message anyone haha. Yeah, I'm not 100% sure that's the reason, but like I didn't even send any bad language, I corrected it. I think TNT's system is REALLY messed up.

TNT's system is really messed up, no question. I've applied for a few UFA pets recently and I end up mentioning mentioning fishing skill somewhere in the neomail and always get caught cause I forget "skill" is flagged for having the word "kill" in it. I mean, it's simple enough to change skill to level, but if someone else hadn't told me why that was a 'bad' word I never would have been able to figure it out myself. TNT's filters need to be majorly revamped!

XDD I know that! My username is hanalways - like Hana and always. I've used it for EVERYTHING, and even have my own registered domain as it. But I tried using it as my username for neopets, but it blocked me as saying that there was an inappropriate word. I looked everywhere, and apparently because "anal" is in hanalways, I can't use it.

Omg that happens to me all the time. I feel as if that's the reason why I got silenced, because I didn't notice the bad word within a word. I honestly think it's really dumb because "skill" itself is not an offensive word. TNT really needs to fix their entire dictionary of "bad language."

LOL, wow that's really unfair.
