    Actually, it makes no difference, I just felt like posting misinformation to confuse our new members. :)

    Neopets is a business. Don't forget that. That means that yes, the site is oriented around money-making, but that also means they have employees. And these employees are humans attending a job just like the rest of us; they only work Monday-Friday from about 8 AM NST-5 PM NST.

    In other words, you're not going to get frozen for SSing during the weekends, unless you've sent an impossible score and one of their bots catches you. So if you have a "safe" SS list, go on a scoresending rampage over the weekend! As long as nothing you scoresend alerts their programs that you're using a program, you'll be fine.

    (Now, the only problem with that is transferring the NPs once the weekend is over. :lol:)

    If you scoresend during their working hours, though, think about it. No one plays games for 8 hours straight to earn NPs with questionably fast times. You will get iced.

    My recommendation is to set up SSing when you get back from school/work/whatever on Friday, then scoresend Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Sunday evening move all your NPs around as you need to and self-freeze all the accounts you used for scoresending. (These NPs should probably go through a couple of shells; use the search function and find the "transferring like a pro" guide.)

    I've tried SSing 20+ mil twice before; last time I transferred all my nps and stopped SSing on Sunday. My scoresending accounts got chain iced 4 days later; no big deal. This time I set up the SSer while I was at school today; according to my logs the accounts were chain-iced at around noon NST.

    So, yeah. Draw what conclusion you will. :)

    geeeezus Anfan :p
    lol

    EDIT: So, this is what i got as a reply... from Charlotte... [...]

    Thanks for writing in. Your account has been frozen for attempting to, or actually buying or selling neopoints. As it clearly states in the first lines of the Terms and Conditions (http://www.neopets.com/terms.phtml): "The accounts, activities, items, neopoints, characters, locations, faeries, games and pets are for you to play with while on the site. Except as permitted by the functionality of this site, you can't sell them (for money or Neopoints), give them to anyone, trade them for anything (including Neopoints), or pretend you made them." By purchasing neopoints, people wind up supporting scammers (who are responsible for the vast majority of attempted sales). The neopoints purchased then wind up being from any number of children's stolen accounts. This is why we do not return any accounts frozen for purchasing or selling neopoints.

    BUT!!!! I wasnt buying or selling Nps, pets, items blah blah blah...
    should I try mailing someone else from the support team???

    I was frozen over a year ago. inappropiate language it says. I tried to get it back but they say it has been frozen too long to have a review to see if I can get it back. eh well. I still have my side accounts and my new account I made. I think a Neopian is not a true Neopian unless they have an account frozen at least once :D lol

    I'm trying to get a iced account from a few years ago back. I doubt I will though.
    I honestly don't even know why it was iced, lol.

    This account has been FROZEN for the following reason:
    This user has a history of breaking the rules with new accounts even after previous accounts have been warned and/or frozen.
    That's 100 mill down the drain.

    I haven't had an account frozen in years, and I've received no warnings either. I'll attempt to get it back, but since I was playing neopets for fun I think I'll give it the game up.

    And honestly neopets has gone down hill. I had a league 14 pet, and I first started to train it up for wars/plots. But since I started there hasn't been a single one after the Lost Isles one, and anything after that has been disappointing.

    Ouch.... I'm expecting an ice soon now too :( Damn restocking good items.

    When was the last time you used an account? Have you sold any accounts that were created with ur IP? that may all be tied in... Never seen that reason before though.. :O

    I created an account with my IP about 6 months ago. But I haven't used it. I lent it to Shawn for the NP making contest, but he returned it after February was over.
    I do AB on that account, but I was not frozen for ABing, and the last time I AB'd was on Wednesday. As for selling accounts, I don't do that.

    And my account is 28 months old? That is not a new account.

    Wow... That sucks then. Like I said, I've never heard of someone getting frozen for that reason before.

    Braeking the rules with new accounts... Not cheating..

    so I'm assuming spam? posting stuff you're not supposed to.. collecting giveaways etc?

    Either way, stupid reason. Sorry for your loss.

    If you decide to start over and need a little starting point let me know :)

    Nah, I've done nothing particularly suspicious. I rarely post in the boards. As for starting over, I won't be starting over. Cheers for the offer though.

    I was pretty much asking for it though after this weekend. I think there was about a total of 6 hours on Saturday when I did NOT have AU running... lol

    My son's account keirs2005, my account jamesandspike and my ex-husbands account nightmoods (I think) were all frozen because my now ex-husband but wasn't at the time, used an autobuyer constantly with my disapproval. I had spent a lot of time on my son's account and had got a very large collection of all different thing and I could have killed that 'bar steward' for wasting my time.

    I recently got in touch with TNT about it, but the account has been frozen for over 4 years and they apparently cannot unfreeze it, but I think that's a load of bull dung if you ask me because I can still see my son's gallery, though every time I do, I get upset, cause I'm like that lol and I can still see my old gallery too.

    To understand and feel where I'm coming from, just take a look at my son's gallery: removed

    It's not wise to post links, usernames, etc. which identify your account, or your son's account. While this isn't a strict rule, it's not really a good idea. But it's a fantastic gallery with some fantastic items. Shame. -Phee
