Can you get frozen for using a neopets spiderer?

    I am wondering what the freeze rate is like before I buy one...

    I don't believe the freeze rate is very high, but yes, you can get frozen for using it. Since its a program that makes things easier for you, if they find out, you'll be iced. But you shouldn't have a problem if you don't run it for too long. The longer you run it, the more suspicious it is. (As in hours and hours and hours)

    The freeze rate of anything does not only rely on the program or whats its doing. Things that matter and determine freeze rate:

    How long you use it
    What its doing
    Where its doing it at
    How fast is it buying or refreshing

    As long as you dont plan on running it for 5+ hours every day you should be fine with a low freeze rate.

    So if I got it and ran it overnight I would get iced? And I dont know what settings I can put but im guessing it can visit a new page every second or so? Is that too quick?

    Be smart and you will be safe. Set times for a new page to be loaded every 3-12 seconds, and only run it for an hour or two. I mean think about it. If you ran it over night, say thats 8 hours. would a normal person be clicking around not really doing anything for 8 hours none stop? Just be smart and everything will be fine.

    Actually, I wonder why spiderers even have freeze rates.

    I mean, when we play neo, we surf for hours end on right? Maybe there are breaks in between, but advanced spiderers have those functions anyway.

    They can't possibly have spiderer detectors, because program/systems as advanced as that would constitute their having systems sophisticated enough to 100% detect score senders, which I like to believe are less secure than spiderers.

    :/

    Think about it, you might search neo for a long time but, there are things you look at and look for. I dont think you will ever see someone online for 8 hours clicking around the website every few seconds not talking to anyone or really doing much of anything.

    What's the point of a Spiderer? Does it just visit random pages in order to get random events (which doesn't seem to happen very much at all)?

    You dont get that many because you dont visit as many pages as a spiderer does. You will get a lot more randoms with one then you think.

    Oh, so do you mean to say that more pages = more events, rather than refreshing at just one page = less events?

    If that is so, then spiderers really would be invaluable and worthy of freezing. o_O I should get one soon.

    Spiderers have a really really low freeze rate. Don't overkill them with ridiculous refresh rates and super lengthy sessions, and you should be fine. If you ran one all night, well, it's certainly not very smart or cautious, but I wouldn't say you're guaranteed to be frozen by morning. Actually, no icings occur during off-work hours, so I can guarantee you wouldn't, lol.
