Editing Neopets (section)

===Community===
''Neopets'' has a community for users to chat with and contact other users. Each user has their own profile they can edit with [[HTML]] and [[CSS]] and are represented by [[Avatar (computing)|avatars]] provided by the website, as users cannot upload their own. Most avatars must be "unlocked" by completing certain in-game tasks, such as winning a contest or getting a high score on a game.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Neopets Avatar Solutions &#124; Jellyneo.net|url=https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=avatars|access-date=2023-03-16|website=www.jellyneo.net|archive-date=19 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230619185014/https://www.jellyneo.net/?go=avatars|url-status=live}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|date=July 2023}}

Users may request other users to be "Neofriends" or block other users from contacting them. To comply with [[Children's Online Privacy Protection Act|COPPA]], users under 13 years of age cannot access any of the site's communication features without sending in parental consent via fax.<ref name="Rosen" /> The main features include:

* NeoMail, a personal in-game communication system like regular [[email]]. Users can write messages to other users and restrict who can contact them through NeoMail.
* Neoboards, public [[Internet forum|discussion boards]] for on-topic discussions. Users can enter their own "neoHTML", a restricted form of [[BBCode]], to customise their posts and signatures.
* Guilds, groups of users with similar interests and their own message board.

Discussions through these features are restricted and may not involve topics such as dating and romance or controversial topics like politics and religion. Continuous [[Forum moderator|moderation]] is performed by paid ''Neopets'' staff members, and users can help moderate the site by reporting messages they believe are inappropriate or offensive. Messages are also automatically [[wordfilter|filtered]] to prevent users from posting messages with profanity or lewd content.<ref name="Rosen"/>
