Nyhm, that was in reference to the assertion that no one, and I mean in particular neopets, cares about this place. If you assume that neopets does not care about the activities that go on here, then there is no possibility that anyone is monitoring these activities.I don't see what logic you're referring to, here. Just because other people tell you that what we do is no harm, doesn't mean that you couldn't disagree (which obviously you do, since you have repeatedly referred to us as parasites) and/or be a spy.
I would say that there is evidence on both sides of the issue.
Even if I use the analogy of this place being a parasite upon the body neopets, a single flea is never fatal. That does not change the nature of that single flea. That does not change the situation that a weak cat with too many fleas can be bad results. Neopets depends upon fees and advertisement revenue, it depends upon people thinking they are playing a legitimate game, with rules that are enforced and a sense of fairness.
As for the rest, I am who I have told you I am. Likely if you had a mind to do it you could get my account frozen at neopets. I trust your judgement.
I can sing now.

"It has been asserted" and "it is the case" are two different things. Again, just because someone (or even the majority of people) says that TNT doesn't care, doesn't mean that they don't, and doesn't preclude you from being a spy.
This just sounds like backpeadaling to me. You've dropped hints for months about possibly being a spy and now you're saying there's no way you could be because you think you'll get banned if you keep it up.

In all honestly, I do think that coltom needs to refrain from making reference to the "possibility" of him being a neopets staff member. I'm sure it's in some part of the T&C's here etc, and in rare instances, sometimes could frighten the younger or newer members of neocodex.
Just my two-penneth.
Are people not warned never to mention a pets name or too many details from their account least it get reported back to big bad TNT. I'm not sure I see much of a difference, but I appreciate your judgement. Nor, was I the one that had to bring back this fanciful yarn. I did not restart this topic, I did not raise a hue and cry after a simple post. I suppose I could stop responding to the chackles and caws.
You are clever, and I will concede the first point. I was trying to make the point that TNT does care."It has been asserted" and "it is the case" are two different things. Again, just because someone (or even the majority of people) says that TNT doesn't care, doesn't mean that they don't, and doesn't preclude you from being a spy.

As far as the second, you know I will present both sides of an issue if I can. I argued against myself in my own court-martial hearing because that was the right thing to do, the only thing I will not do is betray someone I have given my word.
Thirdly, I can sing.
No, now that I think about it, that isn't good enough. Georgia thinks I am upsetting the young ones, I have upset you, I upset Napiform. This is not good. I will not take the bait again, I'll not write on this again.

But will you sing like a canary to TNT? That is the question.

So if the "right thing to do" is to report as many of the Codex members as possible to TNT then wouldn't that make you a spy.

He doesn't know those are in his signature, because he has forum signatures switched off.
But yes, several of the codex awards were for less than useful qualities.

I stumbled in here, and sadly, I read the whole thing.
So he was iced for posting a pet name?
After meeting lots of wonderful people on here, I find it hard to believe that one of our own members would do something of the sort unless the individual being reported is a general arsehole. Most of the time the posts are edited by the staff for the member's protection or given a friendly reminder by other users of the site, which makes me think that he is
to the general community here.
Swing that ban hammer to ensure the safety of our members please?

Why are we even amusing him by indulging his insane theories of parasites and whatnot? Just ban him. I don't trust his honour, mainly cause I don't trust people who insult you then say that they'll leave you alone, then insult you again.

Yes jealously protect the integrity of the system.
Where have I heard people complaining about that before?

It amuses us, too.

Again for the record. I did not divert on a trading topic. I made a comment about my experience with trading low end pets. The diversion came from others.
What I would truly like to understand is this. Why is is fine and dandy to insult Josh and the U.S. Navy. Nay people have been insulting the whole military culture with impunity. Yet somehow insulting the body Neocodex is completely unacceptable.
Not like there is a double standard. Irony.
