I'm too new, need to make myself familiar and might need some advice

[Boonami]

So I thought it would be easy. Download the auto-buyer, it gets me expensive items, I sell those items or np on here for cash. Apparently I have to be well-known on this site first and make contributions? So to get better known, I've made this post to talk to people about things they think I should know about the site and botting in general. Also how do I make contributions? If there's a piece of advice that you're wondering if I need, let me know, cuz I'm pretty lost on the site. What does clraik mean anyways?

Hi there Boon. Since buying/selling is practically between 2 people it's very common that everyone wants to be safe. Especially when we had some bad apples in the past that we're trying to hunt and harm the community.

First off, patience. Building trust takes time.

I'll share you a thread that $(you need an account to see links) made and touch this topic about how a newbie can become a helpful member.

You can find it (you need an account to see links).

Hope that sheds a bit of light. If you have any doubts don't be afraid to ask.

I'll leave room for the rest of the crowd to pitch in and grab some +thanks/+rep for helping you but first off - your best friend here (and everywhere in life) is to read.

Read through the forum sections to see what interests you most. Read our community rules. There are typically stickied topics in different forum sections that you should also probably read. Read to see where you should be putting your topics. Read before downloading and using our bots to make sure you have a good understanding of how they work (and to see rank requirements) before you press any buttons. It takes a small amount of time, and reading is very good for you.

clraik = draik

We're the best Neopets community you'll ever find online.

Do you know how many people are still struggling to get that lavalicious bar!
So firstly maybe head over to the secret userbar treat and start chatting about it. Get some more userbards. It really goes a long way and I find the userbaer chat is rather engaging.

Another forum thing to look into is Ryu... rally a cute pet that you will see a lot of people have.

I don't know if being /well known/ is necessary the biggest contributing factor to integrating into the community. I do think that telling us that you want to use the ABer, get expensive things, then sell them to the community isn't always the best jumping off point. Making a thread telling us that you are doing it solely so people will talk to you and help build your rep likely isn't the best choice either. Not trying to be confrontational here, but there are many different parts of the forum where people chat and discuss things. The best way to join the community is to participate in those conversations and discuss things, get to know people and what ck is as a whole. Familiarize yourself with the breakdown of the different forums and what ck has to offer. There are lots of great people here who likely enjoy the same things that you do and I'm sure you'd be a welcome addition to join in on conversations and share your own opinions

Check out this thread for more on the different userbars available:

To reply to comments, you can click "Reply with Quote" in the bottom right hand corner of somebodys post. Click the little rectangle with the + on the far right on each post you want to reply to in order to reply to more than one at a time in your next post. If you're using ck on the tapatalk app, I'm not sure it's the same - but for browser based that's the best way to do it

Everyone so far has given the best advice so far!

I joined not long ago, mostly looking for an active Neopets community of like minded individuals and found it to be the best and warmest Neo community I've found. I've bought plenty from various members (the trading section is dangerous for my wallet!!) in my few months here already. I can maybe give you some insight what I look for as a buyer?

A nice laid out shop, with various buying options!
Variety I think is a good key too! Selling both pure NP, HTS and ETS items seems to be the way to go.

I don't think you necessarily have to be 'known' or popular here. Maybe have some userbars, and nice laid out looking profile for some individuality. 😊

All this takes a bit of effort and time, of course! Either way, I hope you stick around and enjoy your time here.
