For the past two days, item prizes received from participating in Games Master Challenge have been multiplying in our inventories.  TNT is aware of this and has starting locking boards on the topic with the following message:

*** THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN LOCKED! ***

If you have received extra prizes from the Games Master Challenge, please don't panic! You can discard the extra prizes, OR isolate them by leaving them in your inventory while you send the rest to your Safety Deposit Box. This makes it easier for us to separate the extras from your actual prizes. Write in to us using one of the automated forms at the Contact Us page: https://www.neopets.com/contact.phtml -- and we will delete the prizes for you. Don't worry; your account won't be frozen but we do know if users have been abusing this glitch and will freeze accordingly if we find anybody who has been doing such.

Clearly TNT is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.  Abusing the glitch (example: refreshing to get tons of extra items and selling them) can still get you in trouble, of course.
