I wouldn't be surprised if Beth is a member here.

Usually the ones that are the most anti-cheaters are cheaters themselves lol

Makes for a good cover story when they get caught.

"Why are you a member of Clraik the cheating site?"

"That? Oh, I just use it to call out the people buying and selling pets and items"

Thanks for the post!

Imagine being so miserable in your own life that you go out of your way to ruin how someone else has fun and gets enjoyment from a dying fucking pet site.

If you’re lurking this thread because you’re a miserable vulture and you engage in trying to connect users to their offline aliases, get a fucking life, find a fucking hobby, and for the love of god get off the internet.

Hopefully this doesn't make people too scared of trading with new(er) users or those, such as myself, who have been here for a while but don't post so often.

I was looking to get some shells soon - although it seems as though there aren't so many for sale at the moment anyway.

Super lame that this is going on, and also a good reminder to be careful. People suck.

Anybody visiting the trade forums is required to visit this thread before they are allowed to proceed, so bumping isn't necessary.

I mean no disrespect in saying this, but you've posted 4 times in 5 years (including your post to this thread), you have no iTrader feedback, you have no avatar and no profile picture, and I'm guessing that if I looked, I'd probably find that you mostly drift towards controversial discussions when you visit the forum. There are probably a few people around that will sell to you regardless of how lived-in your account looks, but you're correct in assuming that people would generally be wary of you. I don't usually go the route of bluntly saying this sort of thing when a person openly claims that they're lurking, but this thread is discussing a problem with people stalking our community and attempting to identify our sellers. If you don't want to give us the impression that you're one of those people, then you would be more than welcome to put in the effort to engage with the community and put us at ease.

Sorry, but I feel the same way as Bat. If anything, I hope this board serves as a precaution to sellers to be wary to newer users. This community has been burned one too many times by users playing as detectives and outting the accounts of sellers.

Building trust is apart of any deal. You'll become more and more trusted as you engage with the community, utilize the iTrader/rep actions, and don't just lurk on site for years.

But please, I don't intend for this message to be taken as an attack to any who fit in these categories. We're all just trying to play Neopets in the safest manner possible.

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention, being around this site for as long as I have (granted with large breaks between), leadership here always has the communities safety and best interests in mind with the decisions they make and is why this site has been as safe as it has, for as long as it has. Appreciate the non stop work you all put in day in and out for us.
