zorna Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Just got my first official warning from The Neopet team. I have been trying to get the neomail avatar and I have been neomailing a couple of people one letter of the alphabet each day and they didn't seem to like the letter h :( [theneopetsteam] The Neopets Team» Make this user your Neofriend Sent: 5/3/2014 09:54pm Folder: Inbox Subject: Official Warning from The Neopets Team Message: [Report Message] You have received an official warning from the Neopets Team for violating the Neopets Terms and Conditions.

dawnshine Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You'd think they'd be too busy with all of the other stuff going on within the site to worry about spaghetti and meatballs and the letter h..... patricebee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricebee Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 oh my goodness... I find all that absolutely ridiculous. Is TNT that uptight that innocent words are considered bad? That makes me think that someone else there has too much of something else on their mind if they find the word "ball" possibly offensive. I like basketball and baseball. So if I talk about that with a neo friend then I may get in trouble? Mind blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashana Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well that's TNT for you. I've been warned 2 times recently for "spamming" on the boards. The best way to get the Neomail avatar is just hold down the refresh button in your inbox. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I also got a warning for the first time in years yesterday! Someone asked me a question about my guild and my response included the fact we have "contests"...I didn't mention winning prizes or anything, I mean we just compete for bragging rights. But bad mistake on my part, I'm usually careful to say we have many "activities" but I slipped up and got reported >> also I always have trouble sending neomails when I say the word "skill" such as in the phrase "wow, you have a great skill in coding!" I finally realized I couldn't send it because it contains the word "kill" o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnshine Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 There was a day I was trying to send a guild council application via nm to my guild leader but ended up deleting everything I said and wrote only a few words because it said I was saying a bad word but wouldn't tell me which one. But it wouldn't send it until I deleted or edited whichever word was inappropriate. I tried guessing for a while but never figured out which word it was. Pretty vanilla stuff, it was just me saying I'm a good person to have on the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It seems to me it wasn't the letter 'h' so much as the fact that your neomail was "spam" -- it didn't contain anything interesting in the form of communication. ("H" is also an abbreviation in Japanese for certain things that are definitely not considered okay anywhere on Neopets, but the reason for the warning clearly says spam, so I think this meaning is irrelevant.) I don't know if your neofriend reported you because they were sick of getting useless NM's, or if TNT's filter just happened to pick it up, but if I were you, I'd stop sending single-letter neomails.

Shelley Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have given up on so many neomails :sad01_anim: I feel like I can never find the hidden inappropriate language haha....but it's good TNT is pretty strict with their language policy...I mean it is more of a kids site anyways...Years ago I got a message detailing the time and day of my death O.O ...I'm still here though, it's all good ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I didn't report her! We were both neomailing each other back and forth (mostly just "spam" letters or numbers) in attempt to get the neomail addict avatar and we both got an official warning at the same time. I guess we'll try refreshing to get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningbanana Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well that's TNT for you. I've been warned 2 times recently for "spamming" on the boards. The best way to get the Neomail avatar is just hold down the refresh button in your inbox. :) But isn't holding down the refresh button to get avatars and random events against the rules? Although I've never heard of anyone actually getting warned about it. As far as the problems with neomailing go, i pretty much avoid it altogether because of their rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT states in an editorial that holding down the refresh button to obtain refreshing avatars is completely legal. I did it for all the refreshing-based avvies, and never got in trouble once. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabaret Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I am also having a horrible time sending Neomails. I love to make friends and chat, so this is a huge issue for me. All these words you can't say are ridiculous, and by not pointing out what the word is and having people go through their messages and check for "bad" words (WITHIN words), doesn't that just encourage possibly young Neopians to look for and think about "dirty" words... which completely negates the point? Sorry, I guess that wasn't very articulate. XD;; dawnshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyurri Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I remember this Tumblr post I saw in Club Penguin. Someone wrote "Lettuce" and got automatically banned XD EDIT: I gave someone a pep talk and TNT didn't like it by noticing I said inappropriate words. I'm already making someone feel better and that's what you do? AJ11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novelista Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I somehow missed the fact that the neomail addict was for...well...neomail. I thought that was earned by sending mail through your special premium mail account. (When they existed.) Maybe they changed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
