    You can earn points by posting (on point per post) or by donating to the site or by winning some random contests that are occasionally held.

    I read you gain them when you post or you can donate. Um...I'm not sure how else. Probably from adding programs.

    Hi , there!
    Welcome :)

    You get 1 point for every non spam post you make :) you can turn these points into programs, each program requires a different amount of points.

    You can get points for donating to neofriends if you feel you would like the programs quicker.

    IF you need any help with anything, please please please dont struggle, pm me or another member and we will be try our best to help you out. :)

    ( To pm people, click the bottom left of this or any post) (pm: means to send a message)

    Also, if you contribute to the site and make guides, you will also be rewarded with points. The more in-depth guide, the better!

    Oh, and btw, if you ever need to know something about the site, just click that huge link in my siggy :p

    Thanks again.

    What kind of guides are accepted here? Restocking, sniping and other things like that? And if I want to help people out and make one, where would I enter it? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, and I completely understand the plagirising rule, to me that's a given. I've been playing neopets for a long time though, and I believe I can provide a fairly good restocking or sniping guide. But that might already be offered here.

    Thnk you soo much, I'll definetly look throgh that :)

    Also this is kind of off topic, but it's kind of surprising to see how many people actually cheat on neo xD, not that I'm concerned, after all that's why I'm here.

    Plagiarism is very important to avoid :). I'm sure you'll be able to share a lot of great tips about legit RSing and other stuff! If you feel the guides here about the topic isn't thorough enough, feel free to write another one. But make sure it's not the same information all the way through :p

    Well, the most important thing here @ NF is to have fun! *parties* ;)

    EDIT: Noticed your double-post...try to avoid those and edit (also included in guide)

    III. Neofriends.net Rules (READ THEM!!!)

    Nobody is exempt from these rules, and they apply to all members and all ranks.

    NOTE: Trading, buying, or selling anything is not permitted outside the Neofriends Blackmarket forum, which is only accessible by Level 1 users and above. Note that it is against the rules to discuss these things in the chatbox too. Also, any attempt to post anything regarding which autobuyer is better or which is the best shop to restock in is not permitted.

    * Any discussing, linking, or posting anything that relates to adult oriented material is not permitted.

    Anything that is not suitable for users under the age of 18 should not be posted or discussed anywhere on Neofriends.

    * Discussing, linking, or posting anything that is malicious will not be tolerated.

    Uploading, downloading and/or linking to anything malicious is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, viruses, trojans, malicious coding, or illegal activity.

    * Any attempts to cheat, hack or exploit bugs on the forum are not allowed.

    This is applicable to, but not limited to, contests, promotions, and Neofriends store points. You agree that you will not exploit any bugs on the forum to gain an unfair advantage over others and will instead report them immediately.

    * You will not distribute or leak any private information to others.

    The Neofriends community does not support the leaking or distributing of any private material to those that are not permitted to view or use that material. Do not distribute or leak any information, programs or anything else considered private. This includes leaking or sharing information that is private from a private Neofriends forum to a public forum. Please do not send programs downloaded from neofriends.net to other people - this will result in a permanent ban.

    * You will not share or create multiple accounts.

    Creating multiple accounts or sharing accounts with others is not permitted and will be considered cheating. This also includes unauthorized access to any Neofriends account not belonging to you.

    * Harassment and discrimination is not tolerated by Neofriends.

    Any hateful or hurtful messages to any member of Neofriends is not tolerated. Harassing comments about anybody includes, but is not limited to sexual, physical, and/or mental harassment. Discrimination includes, but is not limited to any form of, racism, sexism, and/or stereotyping.

    * Plagiarism and hotlinking will not be tolerated.

    Any program, code snippet, or tutorial etc not created by you will require the acknowledgment of the original author(s) and their permission to use their work here on Neofriends. Do not claim the work of others as your own. Also, do not hotlink to images without the owners permission, rather, rehost the image elsewhere (such as ImageShack or Photobucket).

    * Linking to other sites in the same genre of Neofriends will not be tolerated.

    Linking to or advertising other sites of the same genre of Neofriends is not allowed. Any linking or advertising of said sites must first require approval from the Staff.

    * You may not request to be promoted to any rank.

    Neofriends will not tolerate those that request to be promoted to any rank higher than they already are. Besides automatic promotions to certain ranks and applications, any begging or pleading for promotion will not be permitted.

    * Double Posting, Spamming, and Gravedigging

    Any double posting, spamming and/or gravedigging by any member will not be tolerated. Double posting is purposely posting multiple messages in a row in a single thread. Spamming is posting short, worthless messages that add no use to the thread. Gravedigging is posting a worthless message in a thread that has not been posted in at least 7 days. None of these will be tolerated, and excessively violating this rule will likely result in your banishment from Neofriends.
    * Note: Gravedigging rule does not apply in any way in Stickies. *

    * Signature and Avatar Limits

    Because many Neofriends users do not have the same internet connection speeds, and some may run slower than others, the following restrictions are in place for signatures and avatars.
    - Signatures may not exceed 500x200 pixels and 150kb (combined total) and five (5) lines of text (including blank lines).
    - Avatars must not exceed 75x75 pixels and 50kb.

    * Report other members, don't accuse them.

    You may give members advice and suggestions about how to properly use Neofriends, but please, do not condemn them for breaking any of the forum rules, rather just report the post and allow the Staff to decide what to do.



    Breaking any of the minor rules will result in a warning being issued. Accumulating warnings can result in a suspension or a ban. Please read this topic viewtopic.php?f=73&t=14156 on the current warning limits.
