I recently had 2 scores reviewed and both were accepted. Does that mean I'm safe?

Yeah, though obviously they will count against your account with any future issues.

Thanks for replying so quickly. I have one more question: When the score is reviewed what information do they look at? Is it the score and time spent getting that score or is it more advanced than that?

How do you figure that? If they were accepted, that emans TNT thought that they were legit, beleive me, if they even thought for a second that the scores were not real, he would of been iced.

I have no idea how it works with TNT but based on speculation, I would think that if I, or anyone, sends a score that they don't think is legit they would review it and ice you if they don't think it was legit or send you the neomail like they sent me if they did think it was legit. I have been playing neopets for 4 years and like 2 years ago I got a reviewed score and it was 100% legit but I'm not sure if they changed the system to avoid legit scores being reviewed.

That's all. Score and the time it takes. Some people hypothesize that "times game was previously played" (like if they played it 50 times before the reviewed score = more legit) and the few pages they load before the actual game are considered. But there's no solid evidence for that at all (and I don't personally believe either).

I agree. If it's reviewed then they believe you. If they didn't believe it, they'd ice you/not accept it. I"ve had accounts not gotten the score accepted for months without an icing. Sometimes they're just not accepted.

That's just my opinion. Any activity like that on an account such as warnings, reviews etc I would imagine would be logged against the account incase any other issues came up. *shrugs*

That make sense but that isn't practical because TNT deals with a crapload of bans and shyt all day erry day

I personally don't think it will count against you in the future. There are just too many accounts and information to keep track of that way.

I really don't get how TNT doesn't catch people scoresending. Couldn't they just cause the game to give random decimals of points and not make them visible to the game? like have the game show 204 points but it actually being 204.27 or something. Like instead of one point make it 1.00198. Cause then score senders would put rounded numbers of 204 and it would obviously be a cheated score so then they would catch people doing it 100%.

I do not know anything about programming but it seems pretty logical to me.

[Rikku]

so let me get this right...
you think that if you're good at games, and have your score reviewed you're more likely to be frozen? That dosn't make any sense

If you score very high in a game, TNT reviews your score.
Its as simple as looking to see if your score was: 1. A possible score in the game or not. and 2. Whether the time that you took to achieve the score looks reasonable enough.

If you pass the review, it means that they think your score is legit. I've heard somewhere that they do look a bit more deeply into your game if you score a trophy-winning score, but that's like whether you've played the game before, previous scores and whatnot. It'd be really suspicious if, even though you took 10min or whatnot, you managed to get a trophy score the first time you played.

They seemed to take longer to review a score that put me in trophy range then they did for a score that was out of the top 17. I think it helped my case that I'd played the game many times before (legit) and seemed to have been building up to the score.
