    Actives are now BANNED on clraik

    Active immediately, we are banning the SALES of all actives on clraik.

    This topic has been debated for a number of months amongst the staff, as well as many prominent members of the forum. This decision has been long deliberated, and whilst we are aware that many active sellers will not be happy with the decision the staff have made, the benefits for the community (both Neopets and cK) cannot be denied.

    Neopets, as we all know, is slowly but surely dying; to minimise further impact upon the dwindling player base, the selling of anything active (including but not limited to accounts, pets and pure) is being banned. Though we can't increase the player base on Neo, at least we won't be responsible for diminishing it further. This, in turn, gives Neopets a greater chance of survival, and as such gives greater longevity to our selling community.

    One of the main benefits for cK will be the re-branding of our image. For far too long, if anything goes wrong or someone is raided, the finger is always pointed at cK and some of our prominent members. More often than not, we are not responsible for this, but the stigma remains and discourages new members to the forum. By improving our image, we are creating a stronger community on clraik, including encouraging more potential future buyers. It also reduces the smear campaigns and shit-talking from other corners of the web (not that we care ).

    Another benefit of this decision is the resulting safer trading market. Oftentimes newbies who join the cheating scene and dip their toes in selling get their start with raiding actives. These newbies aren’t as well-versed in securing, and tend to cut corners that (knowingly or unknowingly) can lead to members getting frozen. It isn’t a frequent occurrence, but it definitely does happen and can make users quit Neo entirely. Our aim in making this change is to help sustain (or at least not diminish) the active player base, while also making buying a safer activity for our ck members.

    To break it down:
    • Any account spotted less than 180 days ago is active
    • Any account spotted 180-364 days is semi-active (once the account automatically birthday locks)
    • Any account spotted a long, long time ago is inactive
    • Any account which is STEALTH! will need to have that turned off in your securing process, in order to ensure the period of inactivity is clear and visible to all involved

    Under the new rule, trying to sell any account last seen under 180 days ago will result in infractions/banning. Trying to sell anything between 180-364 days will also be frowned upon.

    We are going to take this rule change very, very seriously. Anybody found breaking this rule will be hit hard with infractions, temp bans or even permanent bans. Consider this announcement your warning.

    We feel this change was necessary, and in the long run the results will show themselves.

    I can 100% get behind this.
    Keeping as many people around Neo as long as possible is better for us all in the long run.

    Even I would bail if my main got hit, despite knowing that I could just as easily obtain as good an account (or better) with a little bit of cash... but because of the memories attached, the pets, everything, yeah, I'd be done.
    So I can totally understand the mindset of the players who quit - and it's happening alllllll too often now.

    Plus, all the boards that pop up of our own members getting hit...
    Yeah, all in all, I can dig it!

    Considered active unless they were bday locked (And the bday lock is not checked on the account). Even then, stealth accounts should be secured for the amount mentioned in this announcement.
