    as i know they can see our neomails for example, and NM are completily private as i know.

    a mod said me "if you didnt know, i can see your NM ^^" and froze me.

    If they can know everything about us, including which site we came from to neopets, thats not a violation?¿

    But who would actually do that? They monitor everything, and so you just have to make sure you don't say anything incriminating. Do it on a messenger.

    i just read the politics. and it doesnt say that they will know that information. it say that they will know your OS, your IP, etc

    but about neomails or that kind of stuff, absoluty nothing. They are seeing us without our authorization :x

    when you agree to their terms and conditions I think they say that they can moniter you in any activity you do on their site

    You have a good point. But that is part of there site and they are allowed to access accounts. which counts as neomail.

    That's right... they know your OS, your IP, your browser, and if you clicked a link to go there... where you came from. Your computer gives out a lot of information about you whenever you go to any site. In fact... they even know your screen resolution. There's lots of discussion all over the net concerning the hidden information your computer gives out.

    Now concerning neopets and neomails. They are totally within their rights to read any mail residing on their servers. Companies do it all the time, and it has been upheld by the Supreme Court in the US and Canada.

    They own the servers and everything contained within them.

    You can block showing your IP anytime... just don't click on a link. If you see a neo link you want to click on... right click and copy shortcut. Then paste that in the address bar.

    BTW.... none of this even comes close to the information you can store in cookies... and there's now 17 of them that neopets sets everytime you go on... and some do NOT expire when you leave neopets.

    Anyone that has access to the SQL database could read the PM's... but if you consider there's hundreds of posts per day... and even more PM's... Frankly... I wouldn't be interested in seeing any of them.

    Let me clarify, so there's no confusion...

    Only admins have access to the data.. and even that may only be limited to Expon.

    That's sick. TNT are sick little freaks. I hate them. The end. It's one thing if theres a threat of harassment or scamming but I mean really. I got frozen for saying "I love you" to my little sister because I was "Harassing" her.

    Neomail is not a private mail. they cannot however see what is currently on your desktop or see what sites you came from or go to. But Neomail is from Neopets and goes through neopets web in order to send.

    Best to just use neomail only for neopets-related discussion. :/
