LIke seriously, yo. The CG'ing is getting a little more under control due to sites like these warning us about CG'ers, but why hasn't TNT? Why do they just bullshit like this?

Hi, TNT! I would like to take you to task for somehow letting a rumor get out that you will be taking Petpages off the site. Please tell me this is nothing but a rumor, because I would cry if it happened. I promise you, I would cry if you took Petpages off the site. Neopets has helped me learn how to code and design graphics, and I would be forlorn for days if you took away that privilege. ;-; Please take out my username if this gets in, so that no one teases me about being a crybaby. ~username removed
No worries! We've just blocked Petpage editing temporarily while we update some coding. :)

Valuable shit has been lost due to this outbreak. I've seen people CG accounts with SuAP's and shit. For God's sake TNT, warn people.

    I wonder how many people have submitted complaints/questions about CG'ing and how they just keep ignoring them >_<

    Or blame meepits as you said.

    I'm peeved at how they are handling this. For the safety of accounts, they should have put all editing (petpages, lookups, shops) on hold until they can prevent the CGers.
    But I'm biased, had an account frozen (returned luckily) and lost a krawk that a CGer pounded from my account. <_<

    All they need to do is to give people an option to turn off user-edited parts of the site.

    exactly. Just usershops and userlook ups. How important are they, really?

    That would actually help a lot :|
    So people who don't want to take a risk can reduce 'enjoyability' for safety. ;)

    Well it's not hard to avoid being CG'd :/ But I guess a lot of people just aren't aware of how to avoid it. I wouldn't have if I hadn't joined this site :o

    I personally think they should have removed all coding from eveywhere. At least untill they figure out how the CGers are getting added into codes. Because i got CG'ed in someones shop and didnt know about it. Although they didnt get my account, My account kept getting accessed. Pin protection ;)

    I dont think coding should be removed, forever, because i code all my own stuff and i enjoy making new graphics and what not (:

    It would be so easy for them to sacrifice the editing part of neopets, but heaven forbid they stir up a panic. I lost my first account years ago to a CG'er, and Neopets refused to unfreeze it "for my own safety." They're either in denial or they just don't care.

    I got CG'd only once, but they never got to accessing my account xD
    I logged out right away, logged back in, turned on keyscrambler, changed pass and pin. Voila, my account was safe (:

    I lost a shell, a side and a main (the main which I lost like 100k, but no big deal). The side has 5 mil and a BD pet >_<

    That was before I read the protecting yourself thread and I just went rampant on codestones.

    I learned about all about protecting myself from CGs at Neomallers. In fact, I learned about the CG problem after joining Neomallers. The admin there Dmitri is a good man. :)

    They probably don't want /everyone/ to know about the cging going on in neopets. I mean, some people on the pc STILL doesn't know whats a cg. Plus all the kids that are under 13. They might start to freak out everywhere and out of control. Or, TNT can't handle it and decides to ignore it :)

    Well if they don't want peopel to know then disable any sort of HTML coding until they can figure out how to patch it or whatever

    It would probably easier than dealing with all the tickets about CG'ers >_<

    And the thread is right here : http://www.neocodex....grabbers-again/

    There are many ways to protect yourself (as discussed in the thread) but the simplest is just turning off javascript

    TNT wont address or warn everyone with it because it will broadcast to every user how fucking incompetent they are.
    Removing HTML should've been in full effect until they find how to solve this CGer problem.
    But no, that's way too complicated and makes too much sense to implement.
