Rules & Guidelines
While we'd like to list every possible permutation of every rule, that gets problematic very quickly! Real world culture is constantly changing so the rules have to adapt as well. There are so many unique and very specific situations a Neopian may encounter in their travels. Also, it would just take forever to read! Ain't nobody got time for that.
However, we do think the spirit of the rules can be interpreted rather simply, so that's what we've listed below — a clear, concise list of guidelines all Neopians can follow.
However, we do think the spirit of the rules can be interpreted rather simply, so that's what we've listed below — a clear, concise list of guidelines all Neopians can follow.
1. Neopets is family-friendly
Neopets has players of all ages so inappropriate content doesn't belong here. This includes content and discussion relating to: sexual content, violence, serious physical and mental health issues, self-harm, alcohol and drug abuse, profanity or anything else that's not family-friendly. Don't post text (including stories, roleplay, or song lyrics), imagery, symbols, or anything else with this kind of content. If a post is prevented by the filters, don't attempt to get around them.
The Spirit of the Rule: If you wouldn't want your (real or imaginary) little sister to read it, don't use it!
2. Play Neopets with honesty and fairness
True Neopians work hard and play fair to get ahead in the game. Using any kind of program or outside aid, or attempting to gain an unfair advantage, is considered cheating. That includes sharing an account or using multiple accounts to earn items and/or NP. Neopets is a game and should be played fair and square.
This includes buying and selling Neopoints, Neopets, Accounts, or NP items for real money. We do not sell these things; the only way to earn them legitimately is to play the game. Anyone attempting to sell you these things is not affiliated with us and is breaking the rules, and anyone buying is cheating to get ahead.
The Spirit of the Rule: If you didn't earn it on your own, but used outside help instead, you're cheating and cheating is lame.
3. Treat your fellow Neopians with respect
Don't harass or bully your fellow players in any way. Harassment can include calling people names, using racist or homophobic words/phrases, spreading rumours or public shaming, filing false abuse reports, and in general giving or bringing about unwanted attention. Don't do it.
How To Feed A Neopet
Please remember that Neopets staff members are Neopians, too.
The Spirit of the Rule: Treat your fellow Neopians the way you'd like to be treated.
4. Thou shalt not steal
Never, ever scam (or attempt to scam) anyone. Scamming can take many forms — attempting to obtain someone else's account information or access their active or abandoned account, tricking people out of their hard-earned NP, items, or pets, pretending to be someone you're not, etc. Any and ALL attempts to scam are not tolerated here.
Do not steal your fellow Neopians' content or creations, or attempt to claim ownership of something that isn't yours. This includes entering stolen artwork or writing into site contests.
The Spirit of the Rule: Stealing is wrong. Keep your virtual hands off other people's virtual stuff.
5. Neopets is not the place to discuss 'heated topics' or world issues
We know there are important issues in the world and people want to discuss and debate those issues, but Neopets is a place to get away from all that for a little while. We want everyone to feel safe and happy here, free of worry. However, more often than not, these types of discussions deteriorate and end in harassment or threats. Not cool.
Off-limits 'hot' topics include:
- Religion
- Politics
- Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity
- Violent Real-World Events (past or present)
There are plenty of places on the Internet to discuss these things if you'd like. Neopets is not one of them.
The Spirit of the Rule: Neopia is not the real world.
6. Personal information is personal
To ensure everyone stays safe in Neopia, no one may share information that can be used to personally identify themselves or others. This may include a photo, full name, address, phone number, email address, or other contact information. Do not provide ways to contact you off of Neopets.com, like social networking profiles or sharing instant messenger usernames.
The Spirit of the Rule: What happens in Neopia stays in Neopia.
7. Neopets owns all of Neopia
You may not offer web design (such as making banners, dolls, blinkies, guild layouts, etc.) or other services and use Neopets images or materials to earn money, Neopoints, Neopets or Neopets Items. This is a violation of Neopets copyright and trademark rights and is strictly forbidden.
The Spirit of the Rule: Selling something someone else owns is stealing. And as we mentioned, stealing is bad.

8. Want to have more than one account?
How Old Is Neopets
Sure! We just ask these two simple things: 1. Please do not earn Neopoints or participate in any activities that might result in earning Neopoints on these additional accounts. 2. Please do not have more than five (5) (cinco) accounts in total.
The Spirit of the Rule: Actively playing on more than one account will give you an unfair advantage over other users; so please don't do it.
