I heard people saying so . For some reason , i have one installed on my computer and i totally dont know why i had such a thing !(function unknown too cause i never use it ) . It is from ImproveNeo if i am correct . TNT bans it because it give some kind of adventage to restockers which makes the game unfair . I have disabled it but it cannot be uninstalled . I also have adplus and no script from firefox , are they offence too ? someone plz answer cause i dont dare to restock these days due to the fear of unnecessary freezing .
I heard about this... w3neo (associated with ImproveNeo) was frozen, then unfrozen...

But I'm not sure what their official stance is. To be completely safe, you should disable anything they can detect that isn't a basic browser function. Oh, but not javascript, they 100% want that enabled.
For a while (maybe still) TNT made it so anyone with greasemonkey installed couldn't see the five lowest prices on any shop wiz search. This is because people were using the improveneo program (which needs greasemonkey to run), which had some features that were giving them an unfair advantage. The program's creator has said in multiple places on the net that his program is against neo's terms of service, though he personally doesn't think of it as a cheat program. Guess TNT disagrees with that logic. Wink
Then how about other firefox extensions like adplus and no script , are they safe to use now ? i need precise and clear answer ( yes or no ) because i depend heavily on these tools to earn np .
It depends on what you're using them for, I guess. For example, you can use adblock to block ads, but not to block the images of unprofitable items in shops.
oh , how if i use to block item image while rs , TNT got anyway to detect ?
I made for myself several scripts in GM, but I never made them publics, only made public the one to solve the bug in flash games to be able to play with low quality.

I have a couple more of scripts related to neopets, but i am not 100% sure if them are against the ToC. Tnt can know if you have GM installed because the look for the monkey image in the Chrome files of firefox. But they cant easily know if you are using GM with Neopets pages.

I think that if we bandwagon notes to Neopian Times editorial, to ask if having installed GM is against ToC.

I guess you can't be 100% sure TNT will catch you if you block item images, but it IS against the rules. Don't do it, because, at the very least, it's not fair to those of us who actually follow the rules. If you're not a good person at heart (in other words, if you don't want to be fair) then at least realize that you're running the risk of getting frozen if TNT does have a way to check if you're adblocking item images. And, judging by how some restockers have recently been getting frozen after buying profitable items...it seems TNT might just take interest if you manage to snag anything good.

(I might just totally not understand how adblock/web pages work, but couldn't they check to see which images you download from a page and see if any item ones were blocked? DON'T take this as remotely accurate until someone who knows more agrees/disagrees...)

regelus, last I heard, if you had greasemonkey installed at all -- whether you were using it at Neo or not -- you couldn't see the five cheapest items in a wiz search. I don't know if this has been changed now or not.

Last time i checked, tnt had a javascript that didnt allow you to use SW if i had GM installed. Now i am stucked with a fire faerie quest, so i cant try that.
