Rune Valentine Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Basically, you can talk about information on the TDN Forums, but asking outright if someone has an account/attempting to communicate with them outside of Neo is a big no-no. Also, no linking to it. (it's not a certified fansite; tdnforums.com =/= thedailyneopets.com) They make this so because you're not to attempt to contact certain Neopets players outside of Neopets for protection, because if they divulge that information, people will be able to track them down and communicate with them outside of Neopets. This can be dangerous since outside Neo, communication can't be monitored, who knows if you'll be discussing real-life information on the forums, etc. Rebecca~, nbbug132, Emily and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why they have ZERO tolerance policy. In fact, I believe they are legally bound to act like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raichi Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well I think it's a load of bull-crap, since beneath your neopet on the left is: Neopets on Facebook If that is'n't hypocrit I don't know what is. Facebook is MADE for online networking and socializing, even more so than any forum could ever be. and Facebook is a lot more likely to have pedophiles than thedailyneopets forums.

Duma Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm sure if you would have said the daily neopets without the forums you would have been fine. I can understand your frustration but be glad it's just a silencing and only 1 day. You have to be really careful at what you say. I do agree though that facebook is worse.

Spritzie Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I wanted to clarify that even though the TDN main site and JN are Official Fan Sites, you are still not allowed to try to get people to contact you there. Even if TDNF was an Official Fan Site, you could still get a warning for it. They clarified that in a recent Editorial.The Editorial: (It's the 2nd question below the Unicorn images) TNT, I've seen a lot of people getting warnings over posting the Jellyneo link to their wishlist. Just wondering where you guys actually stand on posting the link? ~jotty346 There's a bit of confusion with a few different links out to fan sites, so here's the skinny. As we already know, it's against the rules to give out information with the intent of meeting up or contacting each other on another site. (It's part of the "Personally Identifiable Information" set of rules that state you can't give out any information that people could use to contact you outside of Neopets, like your email address, AIM username, off-site forum username, or blog, etc.) That doesn't change just because the link happens to lead to a Recommended fan site. If you link to your profile on a fan site telling someone to look you up there, then you're attempting to facilitate off-site contact and that's bad. Now, if you're linking out to a Recommended fan site because you're using a nifty feature of theirs to enhance your Neopets experience (such as a game guide or wishlist or avatar checklist), then that's totally fine. The difference is that one has the intent of meeting up off-site and the other has the intent of providing information to another player for gameplay purposes (to get a better score in Daily Dare, to trade items with you, etc.).

Rebecca~ Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Well I think it's a load of bull-crap, since beneath your neopet on the left is: Neopets on Facebook If that is'n't hypocrit I don't know what is. Facebook is MADE for online networking and socializing, even more so than any forum could ever be. and Facebook is a lot more likely to have pedophiles than thedailyneopets forums. It's a link to their facebook page, giving out information about Neopets. It's still against the rules to get information about another player and contact them on Facebook, the same way it is on the forums, tumblr, or any other site.

Lydia Trebond Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Also I'm pretty sure the facebook stuff only shows up on the 13+ accounts because of privacy considerations. nbbug132 and Rebecca~ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raichi Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Still, a 14 year old girl could talk on that facebook page, and a predator could approach her! she shares her neopets info, predator sends her neopets gifts on her account. They get close and share more contact info over facebook and tada! Everything neopets tries so desperately to avoid made so very easy by facebook. They should throw a big fat pie in the facebook >.>; emkatrine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
