I think some of the security on neopets is rediculous. I guess it makes it that much more fun when you start making millions, because it cant be EASILY cheated. yes, it can be with ABers and used to be with refreshers, but even with Abers its hard to make millions quickly. Anyone think that the security is kind of rediculous for a site like that? TNT is so arrogant too, the shit you get frozen for is rediculous. Just ranting.

    Yes they are. If you get frozen they ignore you. They have pointless rules that they use as an excuse to freeze you. When there security is breached (Dupe Days, CGers in Lookups ect.) they deny it's existence and wait to see if it stops and if it doesn't they decide they can do something. If you lose something in a glitch unless your a famous player don't expect to get it back. If you're scammed or hacked you're ignored until you give up. Favortism is insane. TNT unfreezes famous people 100x faster than a normal person. They returned there stolen or hacked item or pet (Jasmine getting Majal_Kita back). They try to convince people otherwise by letting Jazz stay frozen. Fingers are getting tired so I'm not typing anymore :p /rant

    If you put thousands of hours of work as well as cash into a website, you would be serious about it too. You don't just commit so many resources to something then not care about it :p

    Right. I understand that, but even so, it's rediculous. I mean millions a day, like if you AB all day you might be able to but, when you could refresh i could make four-five million a day easily.

    So they don't look at each account? According to their research they have over 130 million accounts I believe. They can't look at every one.

    I thought refreshers were high-freeze rate if you left them on for long than 6 hours even if they have spidermode.

    I personally think Tnt will try to ice people for the slightest reasons.

    TNT is just doing what they think is right for their site...security is fine, as it keeps them occupied and safer for us too, but the icing and other things are getting ridiculous :)

    TNT are complete and utter idiots. It's as simple as that. Some of the things you get frozen for are insane. I mean just look at this "do-not":

    . material regarding political, social, or religious views or opinions

    Considering that almost everything non-Neopets related fits into one of those catagories in some way they are basically saying "Have an opinion or show any signs of intelligence and we will freeze you"

    And I think they are FAR too strict on issues like security. Don't they realise that the more they try and prevent cheating/hacking, the more people will try and do such things. It's like schoolteachers... the ones who go out of their way to control the class and punish students are almost always the ones which get the most grief. Whereas the ones who treat the students with respect and trust them not to misbehave won't get any grief at all.

    If they relaxed a bit and spent more effort on the site, rather than on persecuting their own guests, people wouldn't go out of their way to screw the site so much. I know a lot of people who cheat/hack not to make NPs, but simply to get back at TNT... :|

    When they freeze people that they dont like for having too much NP then that is ridiculous!!

    Its not as if they are using up all the NP but TNT are treating it like that.
