@Kitsune - I wouldn't expect them to but you and I both know how temperamental TNT is.
@Iargue - I have no doubt TNT monitors codex and they might even have an account that it is adv. I just think a news post about blocking their ads (which they can claim reduces their profits) gives them something to use against us.
It was only a concern I had. I mean I remember when Dro didn't want a MAB anywhere near public, from memory it was something to do with copyright issues. I'm probably looking into it too much though.
I think they already said once in the editorial that adblock is fine, I'll see if I can find it.
According to the Neopets Terms & Conditions, players shouldn't use any programs that change the game experience (refreshers, etc.). While I know this has been in effect for a while, it's now said that "if you use such a program on the neopets.com website, you will pay NeoPets, Inc. liquidated damages in the sum of Five Hundred Dollars for each time you use a program." Does this mean that if I use ad-block, or have a computer that doesn't run Flash and can't see ads, that I'm going to be fined?!?!?! - spork_queen
Neopets strives to an environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to flourish if they obey the rules of game. The Terms and Conditions set forth how the level playing field is maintained. People who use outside programs to cheat the game play, such as autobuyers programs, are not playing fairly. Programs that do not affect the game play, such as ad block, do not give a player an unfair advantage and therefore can be used. Likewise, people can always manually refresh a page. As long as you are not playing unfairly, you have nothing to worry about.
