[quote=demirep77]You don't want to know how long it took me to figure out what FTW stood for.

I felt real stupid once I finally asked and was told. *duh emoticon goes here* Yes, you can also get a warning for saying "search engine". TNT covered in an editorial fairly recently that ANY sort of encouraging people to go offsite is not cool with them. I am actually under the impression that they also no longer support what used to be official fansites, I know someone who got a warning for saying Jelly Neo. ~~~ bête noire (bet-NWAHR) noun: An object or person that is particularly disliked or that is to be avoided[/quote] I personally think it's a bit much. I remember having a guild that the guild webbie was on freewebs! *lol*, and I understand why they stopped that (fake logins) but mentioning google and neopets help sites is just ridiculous!

I think you can not recommend jellyneo either. I love their database ;) Clothing, Grooming, Wearables & Backgrounds~ http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=ladytaelorae

[quote=EWP]Makes me wonder if saying something about RL would bother them ... or you know, going to work, having supper, doing homework, ... all offsite! :P[/quote] And all off of the topic of Neo which again is against the rules.... all the non-Neo chat boards are bad juju

Boy, I can sure attest to that! RL life topics are off limits. My account got suspended for 24 hours just because I replied (on a guild board) when my guild member asked how my surgery went. I just said how it was great and I was feeling fine and I got suspended because "talking about health is against the rules". Who knew? I sure didn't. Worse yet, it was the LAST day of the daily dare, so I didn't get to submit my final game score, which cost me the trophy I'd spent 29 days working for. I'm alarmed to hear that mentioning google (or even search engine) can get you iced because I do it all the time. Yikes! I had no idea it was against the rules! Now, I'm worried. I thought I had never put my account at risk, but I guess I have. :( If that is the case, then even saying something like "there's a great page, but it's off site" could be freezable. Good grief! It's going to be hard to help people without any of that. This is just getting to be too much! ~ Need books? Please visit my bookshop. :) http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=lolooma

It seems the word "cancer" is an automatic red flag no-no. I've known a few people to get suspended within minutes of them saying that..

Oh, gosh! I didn't say anything nearly that dramatic. I'd never heard of that until it happened to me. Gee, I could make a petpage to warn everyone about all this stuff, but I'd get frozen for mentioning it in my warnings. :P ~ Love books?

I had no idea that people talking about their health was a freezable offense. I can't even count the number of people that have confided their health issues to me over the years. Guess I'll just have to spend more time emailing my neofriends rather than neomailing. Thanks for the heads up guys!

lol surgery? wow. and certain users in my guild are talking about newborn babies and those babies taking a pee all over the place, etc (which is clearly not too great) yet i got warned for replying to a message post that had "secret santa" in the subject title even though the message I wrote had nothing to do with it lol
