Heads up, boys and girls.

This guy has been around for a few days, and he has about 2 dozen usernames, and you all KEEP falling for his scams.

He also goes by LA, Plutoria. Look out for that, and KINGLOU from LALALAND.

DO NOT PM TRADE. He's approaching lots of people in PM. He offers to craft for you. You go to his town, drop your bells, and while he's "crafting", he sends you home.

He likes Robot Hero: steals millions of bells pretending to trade. Also likes Black Katana.

CHECK THE BAN LIST r/ACBanhammer has a ban list, plus information listed by FC. It is searchable. USE it if anything looks suspicious.

GET EVIDENCE. If something fishy happens, HOLD the camera button in game to grab video (it grabs up to the last 30 seconds). Screenshot your PMs.

SEND MODMAIL If you get scammed, let us know. Don't just send modmail "HELP I WAS ROBBED". Send us evidence, details, links and explanation of what happened.

DO NOT MAKE CALLOUT POSTS. We can catch scammers more easily when they think they got away with it. Old LOU is on to this which is why he's making so many accounts.

We want to have your back. Help us to help you.

Stay smart, stay safe.

Hype for the update!

• One lucky winner will be announced to win the prize on May 17, 7PM EST.

• I'll be using reddit raffler to choose who gets to schlep all these bells back to their island.

All ya gotta do: Comment your favorite ice cream flavor!

Mine is chocolate ice cream with cookie dough ;3

Check back for any updates, and good luck!

I'm sorry I called them ugly and boring, the truth is... they're the one's that are cool and sleek. I need 2 to drive ME straight to 5-star town. I'm sorry I tried to trick you. I can trade them for a blue one, or for 4 NMTs.

I’m not a pervert

Hi Traders!

It's great that people are wanting to share the wealth, and it seems like lottery-type giveaways are having a little burst of popularity.

Unfortunately, they are causing some issues, so I want to give you some guidelines and rule reminders for these kinds of events.

Shorter is better. Our rules say these events should not last longer than 24 hours, but at the moment, with the amount of traffic, it's better if they are 4-6 hours long between opening and declaring a winner. You'll still get plenty of people who want to enter.

Do not ask for upvotes. This is against reddit rules, and we super don't want to encourage it. I know you are all super worried about visibity, but karma farming is not okay.

Do not ask for tips or anything else. Giveaway means YOU are giving stuff for FREE. If you want to do anything else, it's a trade, so it needs trade tags.

Do not be overly ambitious. There have been a couple of these events where the promises made by the host turned out to be really time-consuming to complete. Better to offer a smaller prize, so that you don't get in difficulties with delivering.

Limit the number of entries. This works even better than a time limit to keep things under control.

Be thoughtful in what you are asking for entries. There have been a couple of giveaways where a lot of the entries had a lot of swearing in them, which seems weird and inappropriate and causes a lot of issues. I also, really find the "trying to get people to reveal personal trauma" style giveaway distasteful. Try for something original and fun. Ask for a drawing of a favourite villager, or a screenshot of the best beesting face, or a the best villager quote, or something a bit more enjoyable than "tell me about your cancer". Asking for stories about scams, also a terrible idea.

ENTRANTS: keep the swearing to a minimum.

Thanks.

Mods are well aware there are new glitches and exploits being discovered constantly. We very rarely discuss them because "warning" people is also letting people know they exist.

I do not care one tiny bit how you play your game. You can do whatever you want.

HOWEVER

It is none of your business how other people play. If they want to time travel or use exploits, they can.

Mods cannot police whether or not items are duped. Therefore, we do not have rules about the sale of any items. Sellers, do not promise things are "not duped" because no one can prove it.

HERE IS YOUR ONE RULE: NO ARGUING ABOUT DUPING

It's none of your business what other people pay or don't pay. Anyone who interrupts any thread where they are not the OP or the person directly negotiating in order to give opinions on prices will be temp banned. This is your warning.

People can pay what they want, or not pay, but it's none of your business if you are not the buyer or the seller.

ZERO TOLERANCE for people who create drama.

would like to shut my brain off for a bit and just have a wander around peoples islands, i will water any flowers you want me to :) not really looking for tips, just a calming time

I am trying not to let it get to me :/ Please comment below (DO NOT DM) with your most wholesome AC community interaction! I would love the positivity rn and I'll choose a winner by 5pm PST (4 hours from now)

——— Hello!

Gulliver has been a nuisance since the beginning: with his repetitive dialogue and 'do it for me' attitude. Since the start of time, I've spent countless hours looking for his stinky communicator parts, a task he could've easily done himself. So, I've taken his place and stolen all of his hoarded golden shovel DIYs to give to the people!

To enter the giveaway, just comment (please choose one)

• Your funniest AC Story

• Your most wholesome AC experience

• Your favourite villager and why

• Your least favorite villager and why

I'll be choosing 5 winners in 24 hours and they'll have an entire day to claim their prize!

Best of luck to you all.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's me! Everyone's favorite trash man! Yesterday, I found out someone in my actual real-life recognized me as the Trash Man from these posts. I don't know what to do with that but I assume it means I'm about to reach my final form of power.

I'm sure most of you know the drill by now, but I will repeat the info for prosperity. Despite this being my... third collection I think, I desire to reach as many islands as I can to truly become an actual sanitation worker for this children's game. I am the Animal Crossing Trash Man!

Have you ever wondered what happens to all that sweet unwanted treasure in the recycling bin at the end of the week? What about the cans you just shove ya weeds in? Guess what, folks. IT'S ME! YA TRASH MAN! I am the detested American raccoon Tom Nook does not want you to know about. I come in the middle of the night, ransack ya trash, and then leave. It's a service I provide! A trash service! Once upon a time, I wanted to have a pretty and cute island just like the rest of you, but my hoarding of unneeded furniture caused Isabel to curse me for my hubris and turn me into the beast I am today. Here's what's gonna go down. I will come to ya island, take whatever unwanted furniture, clothing, materials, fake art, etc that you dump at my feet, AND I TAKE IT TO TRASH HEAVEN. It will be loved and cherished by me in my personal junkyard, every piece of garbage's dream. Now, what do ya get in exchange for just giving me all of your sweet, sweet refuse? MORE GARBAGE! That's right, I will give to you a wrapped piece of trash from my junkyard! What's in the package? I DON'T EVEN KNOW. There are endless possibilities! I've got Saharah stuff, NM furniture, think there might a dead body or two in there. I GOT IT ALL. So come on and let me get all the stuff that you don't want. Come on! Please.

Few Rules:

1. No bellyachin': The gifts are completely random. I shuffled them before I placed them so I don't even know what's in them when I come to your island. All trash is good trash, my friends. Don't you forget it.

2. No meanness: This goes for both your Animal Crossing garbage man and your real-life garbage men. Be nice.

[CLOSED]

Thank you all for your generosity this round and look forward to more in the coming days. I love doing this service, genuinely, and I love that it gives others some joy too.

Hey, everyone, I'm back. My previous post got removed, but I am back. To make up for my previous post being deleted, I will be upping my giveaway from the previous 200 NMT to 350 NMT. I'll be giving away a total of 300 NMT to 3 lucky winners, and 50 NMT to 5 random commenters. I know lots of people are looking to buy their favourite villager, so I thought I'd spread the wealth to 3 people instead of 1 person. The breakdown of the 300 NMT will look like this:

1st place - 150 NMT

2nd place - 100 NMT

3rd place - 50 NMT

5 random commenters will also receive 10 NMT each from me.

Just comment below your favourite candy/snack to enter. The winner will be chosen tomorrow (5/9) within 24 hours of this post [1:10 PM EST] using Reddit Raffler. Good luck everyone!

Hello! This is my very very first giveaway that I'm doing and honestly I'm really happy about doing this!

I have saved up all my bells from selling turnips and since I already paid off Mr. Tom Nook and all his debts, I thought why not also help those that want to be debt free too! ^^ You can do whatever your heart pleases with the bells as well <3 I'm not new to animal crossing but I am new to this community and I see that this community is very nice and I'm just feeling happy, that's why I want to do this giveaway! 🥺

CLOSED The four (4) winners were given their bells! Thank you to everyone that commented, I’ll be sure to make another giveaway because I really do like giving, it brings happiness to me. Again, thank you! 💗

Edit: added date and earlier time. Will also be picking a few random people to win 10-30 NMTs because everyone seems to be looking for their favorite villager.

I'm frustrated that so many people in these threads are getting their stuff stolen and destroyed. Times are tough right now IRL. People are coping with that stress by playing AC. It hurts my heart that jerks on the internet are trying to take that away from people.

So if you've had your peace intruded upon by internet jerks, I want to give you some free fencing. Thanks to the donations and generosity of good friends, I have a wide variety to share. I want to help you keep your hybrids, fruit, and pocket overflow protected so you can play with your peace of mind secured. No materials or tips. Completely free fencing. Someone on the internet needs to be kind, and today it's going to be me.

Come get free fencing if you need it. I have plenty to share. Pay it forward when you get the chance 🖖

DM for code!

EDIT: DONATIONS

If you can donate spare fencing, please reach out! I'm also looking for fencing recipes I don't have to expand my offerings. If you have a fencing recipe I don't have, I will give you 1 NMT for each. Here's what I have:

Vertical board, country, spiky, simple wooden, lattice, brick, stone, iron and stone, zen, rope, iron, bamboo lattice, bunny day, corral, straw, imperial

If you come to drop off fence donations, please leave in the stall area so I don't have to move them. If you bring materials, leave them on the beach next to the crafting area.

UPDATE: I am back online and ready to host, craft, and receive donations. Help yourself to my store. Please exit through the airport when finished.

WINNERS:

I have had a lot of people reported for hijacking (Rule 5) in the last few days, and they all go "I don't know what that means".

So here's your explainer.

From the long rules:

Thread hijacking is, in short, when you attempt to fulfill a transaction in a thread between yourself and someone who isn't the original poster. You should not be using other people's threads to set up your own trades or acquire items and services for yourself. If you want something, make your own post asking for it.

Hijacking is like if you were out in the park and there was a family playing who were not your family, and not people you know, and the mom gave her kid a popsicle, and you wandered over and said "can I have one?".

Hijacking includes, but is not limited to:

• undercutting the original poster (OP) when they are negotiating a price with a commenter on a thread.

• trying in any other way to snipe a trade from someone who comments when you are not the OP.

• asking for the same deal from a commenter either while they are trading with the OP or after (eg "can I catalogue these items too?).

• asking for things in trade that the OP is not offering (eg, saying "Can I buy the Pyramid for bells" when they have posted asking to trade for art).

• trying to buy things the OP is looking for. Actually, this is just stupid, but it's a form of hijacking. (eg in a thread saying "[LF] Mom's backpack [FT] NMT" replying with "can I get the Mom's backpack?"

All of these things are rude. Most people don't like it, and it creates situations where, if responders are not careful, they end up selling items to hijackers and not the OP and the OP, whose thread it is, misses out.

Stop doing it. Hijacking currently incurs a 2-day temp ban.

Also, stop enabling it. Enablers, don't tell me you are just wanting to help. If you want to let lots of people catalogue your items, cool. Make a thread.

Hey guys! Been struggling to get back into AC since one of my villagers glitched out, so I figure maybe hosting a giveaway will help! Gonna be using RedditRaffler to choose the winner. The rules are simple, comment only ONCE, and tell us one thing you would want to see in a new update of New Horizons! This giveaway will be active until 12 PM EST tomorrow, April 21st. Upvoting is always appreciated, and good luck!

Edit: gonna choose the winners at 3 PM EST tomorrow just in case I sleep in lol

Great whites eluding you? Sea bass got you down? Worry no more! Jean-Claude van Clamme here bringing you the finest bait for all your fishing needs.

Edit: SOLD OUT TODAY! Will restock and sell more later this week!

So after having this game since it first was released i didn’t have gulliver until 3 weeks ago and he’s came every week since then. He’s seriously blessed me so much, giving me a dala horse, administrators hat and an elder mask. I’m so lucky to have gotten these amazing gifts after waiting so long for him <3 I’d like to give these gifts to someone who has been not as fortunate as me and has gotten a SPHINX or PAGODA from him... ew! Preferably the red and black pagoda... let me take these eye sores off your hands

Eyyooo! It’s me again. Ya boi. THE TRASH MAN. I come to you once again to humbly ask if I can take out your trash. Yah garbagé. I want it. Unwanted furniture, ugly clothing, just trash. You don’t want it, don’t know how to treasure it like I do. So gimme ya garbage! Let me take it off your hands. If it’s got “fake” in the name I’ll be all over it. Your trash will be given the finest treatment here in trash heaven. It will never be cleaned, it will rest on the ground, and I will love it. I love garbage.

As a bonus, I have in exchange for you giving me your trash a gift of... MY TRASH! You will receive a gift wrapped piece of my finally curated trash collection. I don’t know what’s in it! It’s mah trash! There’s furniture, wallpaper, flooring, I think I put a whole tire in one of them, the possibilities are endless. So you get free trash AND a clean inventory! Best of all worlds. (Note: Real life disposal teams will not pay you for your garbage. I am special.)

Available while supplies last. I have much garbage but not infinite (sadly). Leave a comment telling me what your favorite piece of garbage is and I’ll ask people for their dodo codes.

Few Rules:

1. No bellyachin': The gifts are completely random. I shuffled them before I placed them so I don't even know what's in them when I come to your island. All trash is good trash, my friends. Don't you forget it.

2. No meanness: This goes for both your Animal Crossing garbage man and your real-life garbage men. Be nice.

[CLOSED] Whelp, I'm out of garbage! Well, the finally wrapped kind anyway. Thank you all for you patronage and your wonderful, wonderful garbage. I will say that while most of it will be going to my junkyard, I plan on doing some giveaways in the future of some of my nicer pieces, perhaps a yard sale or something. I'm also giving a bunch of the diys to a larger cataloging project so tell be going to a good home. Thanks again and keep hoarding that trash.

EDIT: CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 3 WINNERS

u/Caitlin-Tara u/VanillaSwirly u/angedorable
