*small brain thanks for helpful clues* 
And yes, I annoy myself on those who give out the answers to tons of people at neopets just like that as well :/

I really think there should be a limit of three hints per week.

Those were all exellent hints! I'm probably too late to get the item, but not for the np!

I don't think there should be some random limit to the actual number of clues ... sometimes 1 clue is more than enough to help people out .. other times more are needed.
I think someone official (I nominate Jasujo ... who already seems to have a good sense when there are enough ... and already does alot of the editting of give-away clues) just needs to decree when enough clues have been given. I think others just need to use some common sense as well, to decide if another clue needs to be given. You don't *have* to give a clue everytime ... but if you feel another clue is *needed*, then clue away.
Just my thoughts.

Just a note... I've noticed that some people tend to give clues which may not be understood by people from other cultures, like clues involving a real-life band or character. Therefore some clues may be a dead giveaway to some, but may not help others at all.

A good point ... and it further elucidates the reason why multiple hints are sometimes necessary.
Google is your friend, though ... it can sometimes help.
