I just learned of this so-called Team Neopia blog.
A Neopets Tumblr thing because why not? Updated by various Neopets Team members while we're bored in meetings....
So apparenlty TNT is on Tumblr... and they seem to have a group of loyal followers. It *seems* like a cool idea, but I'm rather weary as to if I should follow them or not. In fact, their existence on Tumblr makes me weary of posting anything neo-related at all.
Am I just being paranoid? What do you think?

TNT doesn't care about your tumblr. I doubt they'll follow you. I wouldn't be worried.

I'm not worried about them following me, but my activity rather.
I ran into some trouble about half a year ago because my Tumblr name was the same as one of my usernames on Neo. I never posted anything about Tumblr on Neopets, but they still went ahead and froze the account for "having an innapropriate username". When I inquired as to what the hell they were doing, they stated I was trying to direct users off-site. I posted some fan art on my Tumblr, but never anything innapropriate.
Has anyone else had similar trouble, I wonder?

Their Tumblr doesn't seem very interesting, so why bother?

Agreed. It's like following a prepubescent meme-obsessed teen trying to blog for the first time. I've seen better content on my next door nanny's refrigerator.

Haha well I'm glad they weren't around in the days I was buying NC cards from people for horribly small amounts of neopoints, then reselling them for $$bare profit$$
Ooh I was a bad person then.

Hey everyone, everyone that works on TNT lives in a house or apartment or something along the lines. EXCITING I KNOW!!!!!!!!

The content of their Tumblr and why I want to follow them is irrelevant to the matter at hand.
What worries me is they were monitering the content I was posting on another website, and I although I wasn't posting anything innapropriate, I was consequently frozen. Does this not worry anyone else?

If I were you, I'd be less concerned about TNT's tumblr and more concerned about the report-happy users in the neotag.

I never post on the Neoboards, and in my ticket they specifically said it was because of Tumblr.

Ah. I see. Perhaps this may be the reason.

Even if the name is the same there's not enough proof that it's you. It could be someone else framing you to get you iced for example. It's not hard to impersonate someone in those kind of social networks....
I wonder if TNT are aware of the neoporn tag...

All those fan sites and communities you have out there? We watch them, too.
An interesting bit of information in the latest editorial. 
Here is the full entry...
TNT, I was just wondering: how come it seems like the staff doesn't provide an area for players to give their feedback and provide suggestions? I've played other games that have forums for that, but as long as I have been playing Neopets, I've always felt that it wasn't "our game." We don't really have a say in anything (and most suggestions I see in the Editorial are always shut down because "We can't do that"). It just seems like the staff is not too open to other people's great suggestions. ~frostygrunt
We actually have staff that gather and send in both daily and weekly feedback to us. If you've posted on one of those long boards that discuss your Neopian likes or dislikes, or what improvements you'd like to see, chances are that we've read it. We do read our suggestions board, and you can also send your feedback directly to us through the help page. All those fan sites and communities you have out there? We watch them, too. Many of your suggestions, comments, and thoughts are sent to all departments. The majority of you weren't quite thrilled with how that newest Maractite Neopet looked? The Art Department has been alerted. You wished a site event would have done X differently? Our Content Department will know. Something isn't quite working right? We've put in a ticket to our programmers.
That said, the biggest issue is time and resources. Also, much of our content is planned months to a year in advance, which makes it hard to work in suggestions that suddenly crop up. While we don't like to shoot down suggestions, sometimes it just isn't feasible or high priority enough to work into our schedules. Some ideas are fantastic, or ones we've been dying to implement, and we do try to make those happen, though it doesn't always happen quickly.

Actually, I think TNT is just trying to get into all social media to get higher page rank and more visitors to Neopets. I wouldn't think they would want to have people to monitor all those social media, not so cost-effective.

I tried to put my Tumblr page into my bio on Neopets (Looking back on that, it doesn't seem very smart...) but they completely blocked the word Tumblr saying that it was a cuss. Yet they have a Tumblr of their own..? I heard that they just block the names of any other site that isn't Neopets, but it's still very hypocritical.

It's only not hypocritical because they claim it is for the safety of whatever underage kids still play Neopets. It's a big bad internet out there!

Well they don't have too much resources to play around, so maybe they have to resort to more black and white measures? Like bots are better at detecting specific stuff but not the more subtle ones which require them to sit down and realise.
It's an outdated browser website game through, don't expect wonders from them

Well, Tumblr does containt mature content so I can understand them on that front. It's not like they advertise the fact that they have a Tumblr on the Neopets website.

Right. As stated "That said, the biggest issue is time and resources." so I don't understand why they would waste so much time and energy on something such as stalking Tumlbr pages when they have bigger fish to fry. After all the bitching, they should know very well what needs updating.
But, this is TNT we're talking about.

I don't think TNT cares enough to go looking for rule-breakers on tumblr, but if someone is pretty high profile and makes is obvious on tumblr that they are cheating on neo, of course they're going to take action.They might not have proof, but since when has that ever stopped TNT?
Them being on tumblr just shows that they're a little more aware of things, but I don't think it's a big deal.
