Today TNT have posted an announcement addressing community concerns regarding inclusivity and moderation policies.

They affirmed their support for the LGBTQIA+ community and expressed zero tolerance for transphobia and hate. Acknowledging that recent actions may have caused hurt, they apologized and committed to fostering a supportive environment. The team plans to review and update moderation policies, provide clearer chat guidelines, retrain moderators, ensure consistent enforcement, and gather community feedback. They encouraged users to report offensive content and assured that all suggestions are being considered for meaningful change.

An overview of what they plan to implement is:

• Review and update moderation policies to ensure they’re fair and inclusive.

• Clarify chat and Neoboard guidelines for better understanding and transparency.

• Retrain moderators with up-to-date standards and community values.

• Enforce rules consistently to prevent confusion and bias.

• Incorporate community feedback to shape future policies and improvements.

You can read the full announcement here: Neopets Community Update – April 9, 2025.

It is a positive announcement that means that current postings on the Neoboards are going to be moderated appropriately. A lot of the community have felt that they haven’t been supported when reporting harmful and insensitive behaviour across Neopets and we feel this is the right step.

Users have been reporting the last few days that images on pages that allow customisation IE Userlookups, Shop Fronts Pet Pages, have been unable to load.

It appears that something is causing the URL site portion of the images to be stripped from the code in Neopets. This also includes Neopets hosted images as well.

It is possible that this could be due to work being done on converting these pages over to the new layout, or its just a glitch in some code being worked on elsewhere that is corrupting it.

This will mean that for now if you are using any of our custom layouts, the codes themselves and images are correct.
We suggest that you leave the code there for now until TNT address the current issues of Neopets stripping URLs from images in the site.

TNT to date hasn’t commented on this situation, but we will update you as soon as we hear more!
