The Forum's Purpose
Welcome to the IDB forums. These forums are directed towards Neopets players who are interested in some, any or all aspects of the battledome. We are dedicating into building a community of people with the same interests, and hopefully, IDB forums will be the place where that will take place.


The Forum Rules
The rules are very simple, and we stress quality of posts over quantity.

Nothing inappropriate.
  • Neopets is mainly aimed at children and therefore these forums will attract children. No inappropriate materials or profanity (even partially censored) will be tolerated.
  • No flaming, bashing, or harassing other members. Revealing plot details of books, movies, etc. in order to spoil it is considered harassment. Including them in [spoiler][/spoiler] tags is acceptable.
  • Do not get angry at someone when you don't agree with their ideas. We allow everyone to posts their ideas, within reason.
  • Do not post Neopets usernames or email addresses without the owner's permission, no flaming or bashing of Neopets members.
  • Do not reveal anyone else's weapon line-up without their prior consent. (This includes screenshots.)
No spamming.
  • Keep your posts as readable as possible. While we understand that English may not be your primary language and that not everyone's posts will be perfectly typed, everyone can keep his/her posts from having a lot of chatspeak and undecipherable garbage.
  • Do not remove a moderator's comment regarding the rules from your post. If you have an issue with a moderator, you may not post about it, please use the PM system.
  • Please use appropriate forums to post your topics in.
  • If your topic is more than a couple months old, it may be considered dead and may be closed, so feel free to create a new one.
  • Ads: Normally may not be posted. Please see below for rules on advertisements.
  • Posts regarding moderation: If you think something needs to be moderated, report it, don't post in it.
  • PM: If your post is directed at only one person, (ie. no one else can would want to read it) it's spam. Please use private messages instead.
No talk of activites that are against the US laws.
  • warez, romz, piracy, many others
All Neopets rules apply.
  • No talk of how to take advantage of a glitch.
Above all, use good common sense and you should be fine.

Violation of these rules may result into warnings. Continuance of said activities may result into a banning from the forums and possibly IDB. In some cases, you may get banned instantly, even on the first offense.

Try to keep the forums clean for everyone to enjoy and have fun.


Miscellaneous

Advertising

If you wish to advertise your Trading Post lots, shop, auctions or maybe even guilds, please do not post it (except battledome items which may be posted in the Traders Forum; check that forum for details). Please use your signature area to place your ads. Advertising of a site that isn't neopets needs to be approved. Mike: If it's another forum/referral link/site you need to pay money for, it's probably not approved. Feel free to PM me though.

Hello,
Please do not post asking to borrow weapons for whatever reason. While you may not have a battleset, you have to keep in mind the risks that come along with borrowing weapons. As IDB will not be held accountable for stolen weapons, we will not allow requests to borrow weapons on our website. Please abide by this, thanks.
