I tend to lurk the trade chat to see if I can sell what people are posting for.  For the past few weeks, I've noticed users getting harassed/bullied by other users who are skeptical about their items.  I've realized how toxic people are and the community as a whole on the neoboards.  I don't spend a lot of time on neopets so maybe this is a normal thing.  There is so much hate and animosity towards others, seriously what is the deal with the community on the neoboards now a days?  The neoboards is more like a hate forum rather than a virtual neopets community.  Anyways, Happy New Years to all!

I believe the trade chat is like that because of the duping of items. Now they're suspicious of pretty much everyone who doesn't seem like they could have gotten that item legitly. They're worried that if someone buys that item and it turns out it was duped, the buyer may be frozen. They're basically trying to protect themselves by calling out people who they don't believe actually have legit items, even if the item is actually legit. If they don't think you could have gotten it legitly, and got it through duping, they'll go off on you. I also suppose some users just like getting other users frozen by accusing them of having a duped item and constantly reporting them for it. They're just mean that way. Or they're jealous someone has that item and they don't so they report the user hoping to get them frozen. They're just jerks, basically.

 

The help chat is actually pretty nice. There isn't a ton of bullying/hate, like you see on the trade chat. Not all the boards have all that hate on them. The pet trading chat, and the trade chat I believe have to most hate out of any of the boards.

The Neopets community has just gotten worse over the years. You can't go around asking a question without getting a rude response anymore.

As for the skeptics, I suppose you can blame cheaters making the best of dupe days and glitches ;D

Lol you should've been around the day the boards didn't have filters.

[NeoVix]

I find the TC alright tbh. Its the PC and BDC which are really rude and annoying generally

Those were the best days, and possibly my favorite time on neo.

I quit using the neoboards more than 5 years ago and back in the day it was already bad. The neoboards were always like this. Now we're more aware of it because it's more "uncovered": there's less people playing and bumping all topics so we can actually read stuff. The only difference is that now there aren't 128474845 topics with random chats. The hate, the persecution with pitchforks already existed in the past, but since nowadays we all see it, we all talk about it.

I agree. Except seeing everyone's uber-bright glitterly color changing fonts was obnoxious.

[dboyisdanman]

yeahh they took the neo life to the heart seriously.  The other day, this one well-known guy got his account frozen, and he was literally crying on the boards.

Charter is extremely hilarious for seeing people cry over frozen accounts. A+ would recommend.

"Were the best days". Except when the board filters break and suddenly there's topics about dicks everywhere and other such things, and swearing too, then they are the best days.

I used to have access to the charter boards. Sadly, I could no longer afford premium, so I lost my access to it. It was a fun place, it was also where I got my SuAP lend from.

Even though those are gone now, some people still have really obnoxious fonts. Like the people who think it's ok to have a really light yellow font. The board background is white, which makes their posts a pain in the butt to read.

Don't like...10 people only post on the neoboards nowadays?

[Shane]

I can't remember last time I posted on the Neoboards. They just weren't for adults. Too many children there (mentally and physically) that would complain over so many things. Too bad the boards aren't updated to be easier to use either. I think that would have made a huge difference in the crowd that would form around them. It's just another part of the website that hideously fell behind times.

[Florg]

It's because the majority of the TC are morons and obvious about their cheating and buying items off site lol

 

They all try to act like they're legit and vouch for their friends who also aren't legit.

 

It's a huge cluster fuck of buying things off-site

 

Like im_poor_ claiming to have Garoo Stamp given to him from munsterpoo "years ago" LOL

 

Seriously, how stupid does he think people are?

 

I mean at least try not to be completely moronic and obvious about your cheating

[Hydrange]

They accused me of botting  when I didn't get kad avatar after feeding 75, it turned out that a bug prevented people whose username started with a capital letter from getting it. -.- Their hypocrital self righteousness is cringeworthy.

[Blanc]

Haha, I hate the neoboards! Most people at them are stupid and jealous about your progress, so they report us without reason, even a little part of us being legit.

[dboyisdanman]

BDC was funny because the other day, there was a 15 month account with a HW stamp avatar calling out someone else for having an illegit item.  I mean come on now, an obivious cheater calling out others, what the hell is up with that.  Ppl should just worry about what they do on their own account rather and just keep their mouth shut.  They get nothing in return for acting like a bunch of scumbags so whats the point?
