Ugh, that didn’t turn out good. :(
Yeah, thanks for the *nice n’ long, heheh!* post. My parents and I appreciate Ganz trying to make Webkinz/Webkinz Newz a safe, fun environment for people of all ages. Oh, and just a quick question for Ganz/WKN staff… Can I say the name of my Pinterest account? It has Webkinz related things on there, and I’m following you guys @Webkinz, and everything! Thanks! ~PrettyPika

I am glad you have rules and regulations.. I am disappointed with the peek a news event why do I get the donkey 4 times and all is well the 5th time they say this campaign is expired… I only do it once a day and even just using my one account…
OWL MOUSE GOOSE! short 4 OMG. this is wacko taco! love it!
I’ve never knew these and that’s why I’m very happy that I have never broke any of the rules.
Hmm…Well I’ve known all of these for years. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date! Oh…Wait…The long posts thing…That’s odd, because I make long posts, and I see OTHERS do long posts too, and they never get in trouble…Hmm!
OOH, I have a question! Am I allowed to say my YouTube channel on here? Because I have a YouTube channel, and someone asked me what it was- can I tell them?
You can mention your YouTube channel IF it is Webkinz-related. However, any comments posted with links will be deleted.
You can put pictures in comments? Sorry, I’m new to this commenting thing on webkinz newz. I’ve done it on club penguin, but me and my sister are new here.
Huh, my comment got posted. Nice, but I still don’t know if you can put pictures in your comments.

Hey, Steve? Can we actually put pictures in comments, like, in code?! That would be SO cool!!!
I’m glad to read all these Rules and Regulations. I hadn’t seen them before, but I try to live by these standards, so thank you for listing them. I have a great respect for Webkinz and Ganz! Glad to be a member.
