Sorry for the off-topic, but what exactly is the difference between 'suspended' and 'frozen'?

Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:12 pm

Suspended just means you can't play for a certain length of time. Frozen means you don't have access to your account at all, and if you want it back, it's a complicated and lengthy process. As you can probably infer from that, suspending accounts is a punishment for minor rule violations, and freezing for major ones. (Ordinarily - there have been instances of people who were frozen for no clear reason, but that's another topic for another day.)

As for the topic, paranoid or just plain stupid people are part of the reason why I never ever frequent the Neoboards in the first place. Too much opportunity for things to get taken out of context, or to run into people who are just report-happy to begin with. And while I certainly think that being careful about what you say on a public message board is a good idea, if I have to be <i>so</i> careful that I feel scared about <i>everything</i> I type, I can't just relax and have fun. So why bother?

I have my old account which is now a side account that I lab on too. I've been doing this for awhile and I've never gotten so much as a neomail from TNT. I think as long as you keep one account for the NP making and dailies and such, they don't really care. Supposedly they track which accounts interact with each other, so as long as you're not sending insane amounts of things from one account to another or playing games for each one, I think it should be perfectly safe. Nothing has ever happened to me, but some people get it worse than others.

EDIT: I don't have the lab ray on my main account though, so I'm still only using it once a day.

Yeah, I know that you're allowed to do that, but one of my friends did that and she was one of those frozen for "multiple accounts" - I'm just playing it safe for now.
