Were you running the ABer for too long? Did they give you a reason for the freeze?

[Moo1]

No, I sent them a ticket to find out. I don't think I was running it for too long, since I've been running it for that amount of time for months and this is the first problem that I've had.

I've been using the defaults and 8-14 refresh times, I realize that the refresh time is a little high in comparison to many other ppls but it also avoid you getting detected so easily.

I got my main iced yesterday for using the score sender : / lost 2m and a grey pet, not a great tragedy.
Now I'm only using AB on a side. Let's hope I don't get iced.

AB on a side is not risky with safe setting
but it will be risky if you AB on many accounts at the same time or using a dangerous setting LOL

I was frozen because of a User who has used inappropriate words, so long ago, and I have a friend who was frozen twice and never gave up neopets

[Chocorawrr]

I was frozen once when I was 9 for saying sex. But I meant sex as in male or female.

Other than that, never.

just because of that? this is very embarrassing

[Chocorawrr]

It really is. I've always been careful to not get frozen.

[MetalVender]

Frozen a few days ago for telling my mum i'll see her later. Apparently tnt classes it as a threat/cyber stalking

I got frozen because I pissed off somebody in NeoPets ChatBoard.. and he/she decided to call all his friends and gang on me by reporting false accusation to TNT about whatever it may be =( from that day onwards.. I never went to any Chat Board other than Faerie Quest to either get help or help people :\

Have you been iced/chain iced previously using your current IP address? If so, please specify iced or chain iced: Haven't been iced since 2002.

Please also include any other information you might feel is relevant. Take a break. Don't go crazy. TNT is fine with multiple people in a household playing Neopets--so make it look like they are different people. Have your ABers be different genders. Make the account with the girly name have a girly gallery, lookup, shop, guild etc. Get your mind into a character, and make the account look like that. I also have one male ABing account that looks totally gothic and emo. Post in your guild message boards. I write shit like, "I hate life today. I can't even get a haggle. I'm going, and I don't know if I'll be back." or "OMG guys! I just got another UB!!! ! can't wait to get ________ (insert girly goal here) sooo close..." Before you log out of your AB program, stop it and log into the account in your browser. Say goodbye to everyone in the guild. I usually tell them I have to go to the beach or get a manicure or some shit.

The "goal" I'm using on my female account is an Island Draik Egg. I've got a fake (and very inaccurate) counter on the lookup, with a link to buy from my shop. I've even had over 150k donated to me by guildies to achieve my goal.

A lot of this seems overly elaborate, and it is. I just figure, since the "way" TNT catches us isn't known, I'm going to assume it's pissed off players reporting us randomly. I go out of my way to say excessively nice shit to people and I never disagree with anyone. If you don't get reported, how will TNT know to investigate you?

Also, after I started ABing I really noticed a LOT of other really fucking obvious ABer accounts. Wouldn't surprise me at all if we were picking off each other, trying to lessen the competition.


TL;DR: Make sure your account looks real; give it dreams, aspirations, friends, a personality, and chat before/after each AB session.


EDIT: I should mention I don't make a lot. The custom lists I use EXCLUDE UNBUYABLES. (I think it's unwise to advertise your account's success on "Newest 20"--the place where the largest amount of legit players make NP.) I make about 100k a day on the days I AB, and I'm more than happy to see 17 missed items and 3 RS'd--that's about how much most players who have to compete with ABers will do in a day.

So far, I've made about 60m. I make sure to blow the money on an item as soon as I can, then transfer it through a few dummy accounts until it reaches my main. (ETS crap like Royal/Baby PB)

I don't use the ABer to "beat" other players at RSing. I use it to snag the items that are profitable, but sit in a shop for 3-5 seconds after the good stuff goes. It's steady NP, and no one rages because they missed a 5-10k profit item.

[Moo1]

Crap. Banned again. I was using decent times on my ABer this time, too!

Ban reason:


This account was using an 'auto buyer' to buy things from Neopet shops.

Where and what did you AB?

[Moo1]

I was ABing at the Post Office Kiosk for anything over 50k profit. 5-7 secs when no restock, 1-1.2 secs when restock, and 1-1.2 for haggling.

Well only buying things worth 50k or more might have made you more noticeable.

Draik MP nothing happened to it. But the 2 ABing accounts were frozen

all transferring of any of my items was always done via Trading Post

[Currant]

Woke up to find four of my accounts frozen: This account was found to be purchasing or selling Neopoints, Items and/or Pets.

Luckily I didn't lose too much besides ~3 mil pure, a couple royal pets, 3 lab maps and a RW pet worth UCs.
Along with the fact that I liked those accounts and they were aged. Not sure if it would even be worth putting in a ticket.
