TNT has posted a message to address the recent unchecked transphobia that has boiled over on the Neoboards this past weekend. In short, Neopets moderators were allowing transphobic messages and were seemingly not taking action against the users posting them.
Here's what was posted in New Features, but we encourage you to read the full post it links to:
Hello Neopians!
The Neopets Team stands proudly with our LGBTQIA+ community. We deeply apologize for the hurt caused by recent actions. We’re committed to rebuilding trust and making Neopia a more inclusive space for everyone, especially our trans community.
For more information, read our full announcement.
Here's our plan:
- Reviewing and updating our moderation policies
- Providing clearer chat guidelines
- Retraining our moderation team and ensuring consistent enforcement
- Gathering community feedback on potential rule updates
All your suggestions and concerns are being shared internally as we work toward real, meaningful change.
Thank you again for speaking up! We hear you and we're here for you.
The Neopets Team

Due to moderation issues we've had in the past, we've decided to keep comments toggled off for this post. We do not want to host some of the regressive comments we unfortunately expect from some users on this topic.
