Someone should do something about the person that is posting the answers and report him to neopets because it is really fair when someone cheats like that.
I also saw another place where PinkPT has posted ways to cheat other games such Dice-A-Roo. Why does PinkPT support cheating neopets like this? Everyone should play the game fairly. What do you really gain by cheating other children from winning some jackpots of their own?

Can you support this accusation with examples? I wasn't aware that PPT taught "cheats" to any games. They let their users in on secrets (such as "type in such and such word to gain an extra life"), and game guides, but I've never known them to cheat, or post cheats. In fact, the site owner, Yukio, is against any form of cheating, and has based this site around that.

Hmmm, Yukio is the one that is posting the answers. Yes, it is cheating, because when people don't have to spend the time to figure out the answers and get more neopoints that changes the whole economy by bringing more neopoints into the system. Yes, it is cheating the system.
You don't believe me that they have posted cheats? Take a look here!

Need I say more?Buying more than 1 scratch card

Sometimes when you are buying a scratch card, if you click it twice you will get two! But you pay the amount of two.

Ok, for the first link: How is playing the game faster cheating? You pay the same amount of NP to play, you earn the same prizes you would if you were to do it slowly, you gain no advantage over any other user.

Using that logic, then how is using a program to play the games faster, cheating? You pay the same amount of NP to play, you earn the same prizes you would if you were to do it slowly.

Never once has PPT promoted using a program to "help" earn NP. And there is a difference, you're doing it manually one way, and the other you are lazy and not doing it yourself.
Using YOUR logic, I could say that if I was playing a game of cards, and someone outside of the game looked at your rivals cards and then told you what they had, that that would be ok. Which it's most obviously not.
PPT doesn't offer cheats, it offers tips, and walkthroughs.
Earning the same ammount of neopoitns for simply playing a faster version of a game is just a easter egg as I do believe the industry calls it. A bit of fun for the programers. It doesn't give you an up in the game, or a special ability; it's just for fun.

Exactly!!!
By being lazy and copying the answers from someone else you ARE cheating. I say that is wrong! But you say that is okay.
It is actually worse to use someone else's answers because you didn't do it yourself. It is the same as looking at your opponent's cards.
You say it is okay to take advantage of a glitch and hold down the enter button to play a game faster. How is that any different from having a program that holds down the enter button for you and does exactly the same thing? They are BOTH cheating!

But if you've created a program, it's like two people doing one thing. You're using an unfair advantage to do something over other players. You don't even have to be there if you use such a program. You could get up, walk away, see a movie, come back, and BOOM, whatever.

You can also use a book or a piece of tape to hold down the key, walk away, see a movie, come back, and BOOM, whatever. There is no difference. Both ways are cheating and it's wrong for people to do it.
Maybe YOU don't look at the answers, but PPT is giving them out, and that is cheating, the same as if you used a program to tell you the answers, no different.
