The NeoBoard is a collection of boards which users can post messages to each other around the world pertaining to special topics. Several staff members named Moderators look over the NeoBoards, making sure users are following the rules. Users can also self-moderate by reporting a message to moderators which they think is unsuitable for Neopets. There is also a filter which prevents a user from using profanity or lewd conduct on the site. However, many users often use symbols or spaces or a combo of them to use profanity, and it isn't filtered.

Trivia
- It is possible to make invisible boards on the NeoBoards by using square brackets to make what is written be processed as tags. This is a freezable offence.
There used to be a General Chat board. It was removed because too many users were breaking rules and discussing things they shouldn't be. Its old URL is now used for event boards, such as Daily Dare and Neopia's Style Showdown. The Newbie Boards are now used as the General Chat.
Filters
The NeoBoard filters automatically change some things players try to post into something else. Some of these are easter eggs and others are anti-abuse measures.
- Posting 5514344, the telephone number for the Ghostbusters in the movie of the same name, causes Ghostbusters! to appear in its place
- Whenever certain words (likely depending on length) are posted, followed by a hard return, an underscore would appear after it. If the word was followed by a punctuation mark, the underscore would appear before it. The word must begin with on, but some shorter phrase, such as only do not cause this glitch. Words such as online, and of course onion, do, however.
- Off-site links are blocked, as is the URL for Jelly World.
- If the phrase this is not a scam is posted, it is replaced automatically by This is a scam! Report me!.
- If the phrase bikini is posted, it is replaced with cardigan.
- On talk like a pirate day, some words would come out as common pirate words. For example, "see" turned to "spy" and "n00b" turned to "landlubber."
- Certain phrases associated with HTML or CSS coding get filtered, for example background-image become I have the intelligence of a roof shingle.
- In 2009 with the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Neopets enabled a filter that changed Twilight related names and words to random words.
