There wasn't anything too interesting in there. A lot of it was about how they don't freeze someone randomly and always have a reason. Some interesting things that I remember from the thread:
- They are very aware of Neocodex and other sites in our category
- They freeze based on a pattern of breaking rules. It's interesting that she didn't mention any automated freezings occurred even though we know that exists. I suppose it's because it's a program that takes care of it so monitors don't even see it.
- Monitors don't handle unfreezings so it's usually not the person who saw you break the rules that unfreezes your account. They are in two different departments.
- Monitors read forum posts and neomails and pretty much any type of content you are adding into the system
Now, from what I know about HTTP Referer on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia....ki/HTTP_referer) to sum it up basically when you click a link to go to a website, it also tells that website the page you were on when you went to that link.
So what I'm going to propose (though it may take time to get to all the links, specifically in the clickable avatar section) is that we "anonymize" our links, because if we're already logged into Neopets if any TNT guys there bothered to check who's coming from what, wouldn't they be able to see some members coming from neocodex (which, according to Hydrogen's quote above, they are aware of this website). Originally I got this idea from a RuneScape botting website called RobotzInDisguise, where they outright banned direct links to the main game due to Jagex (the developers of RS) were cracking down on bots. So as an extra pre-caution the links to RS would either have to be typed out manually or made as an anonymous link, so there'd be a less chance of being connected as a bot-user
There's one anonymous link creator that I know of, but if anyone knows others that'd be good to. Here's the one I'll put up for your analysis http://anonym.to/en.html
