    So did that come from autobuying or legit? We should make a list of what we get iced from for future references.

    A while ago they blocked a score sender from sending game scores. A few days after that I got chain frozen by I.P address. No accounts survived, not even the ones I didn't use nor the accounts that weren't even mine. 60 people frozen because of it, even if they had nothing to do with it. :'( Poor us...

    if you are going to be doing questionable stuff that might get your account frozen… I would recommend that you clear your browsers cookies because when you login Neopets places a cookie on your computer that tracks the accounts you have logged in with. (I found that by using a packet sniffer to see what is being sent back and forth) plus try using a different IP address that the neopets server would see by etiter using a proxy or reseting your cable modem or broadband connection depending on the type you use. this will make it harder for the NP Staff to track it all down.. however I would think transferring stuff from one account to the other might also be logged but that is how I would go about doing it.

    Hmm, you see... I had been transferring stuff quite regularly from each account into two main accounts for several months, and no freezing occurred. I sent lots of 50-100K NP through the TP. Here I wonder if TNT waits for you to accumulate a load of stuff before they freeze, I've heard that's what they can do.
    I also noticed that whenever I tried to make new accounts, I would sometimes be unable to because of 'a problem with cookies'. I'd like to try proxy, although with my router I'm not sure how I'd go about it.
    But there was no sign of freezing anywhere until the sender was blocked. My guess is they saw it trying to send an old encrytion and it was failing. Then they investigated the account, saw it had nothing and traced it to other accounts, then I.P froze. I guess they couldn't be bothered checking all the accounts and froze EVERYBODY. Now anyone who tries to get their account back is ignored or gets nothing but automated responses, since they have no evidence. :'(

    well i do not know what triggers TNT to ice ya but i do know that when you login to an account it places a cookie on your computer having the info of what account you was logged into and even after you logout of that account that information is still sent to the neopets site.. if anyone wants to check that out run a packet sniffer of the data between your computer and neopets and look at whats inside the packets :)

    i finally got iced :lol:

    i've been running AU in the low low for 2weeks now. until today i decided to just go for it, and went extreme on AU (without pausing) in the magic shop.

    go a few mps and unbuyables so i was on the verge on transferring to a different shell... and this user wanted to buy the ghost lupe mp i had so i sold em. so I had 900k in hand and my dumbass went off to my main because there was a draik trans in the auction going for 2mil so i got caught up with that. I didn't get the auction :maha: but when I look in my AU, it logged me off so i tried logging back in and nothing happened. So i checked the side, and viola it got frozen!

    *head desk* i knew i was getting ice but damnnnnnn it that draik trans was irresistable :arf:

    Lost one of my ABing accounts yesterday. I made sure all my accts had different passwords so that I could see which one they caught. Not completely sure why they banned that one instead of one of the others, but oh well. I'm self-freezing my other accounts for three weeks.

    Just last night, I lost my "main" account. I was training a BD pet on there and I didn't use any program on it at all. Yet they still say that I was using a cheating program. It's things like this that makes me not feel guilty about cheating on my other accounts.

    you should mail them back then. they do occasionally unfreeze an account once they investigate further.

    No freezing for me yet... and if it happens I'm using a proxy. I just hope it doesn't happen again like it did with that SS...
    Hmm, I've noticed the cookies thing. My Internet explorer has a cookies restriction setting on it, so maybe I'll wipe cookies if I start doing something really dodgy. ^^"

    It always seems to happen when I buy an item.... If I just let 10s of millions just sit and collect dust or sell I seem to be okay, but buying items from the auctions 1m+ is almost asking to have my entire collection of accounts banned :/ With that being said... All my accounts were banned.. (cept 2 4m shells that have been just chillin for a while)

    My EIGHT YEAR OLD main just got iced. I actually not too sure why, when i tried to log on it was like you got frozen because "This (possibly previously inactive) account was being accessed by someone other than the original creator due to its easily guessable password." Yeah ... it was probably cause i was igloo abing but im not too sure why they gave me this reason. Oh yeah and my SIX AND A HALF year old side main was also iced and so was my 3 day old shell. Dang .... my main and side main would have been worth some money if i sold them =(. Oh well.
