• The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
  • A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

(Partially) fixing the tag system

If so, then you might want to delay merging the tags until then, so you don't lose that information now and can use it later.

I'm only merging semantically identical things, and in the process they'll become hard-synonyms (where recreating them converts them once more). That information is preserved, and hard-synonyms can be revoked or moved around.

Tags that are very close in meaning, but have minor distinctions or flavour worth preserving, I'm making synonyms, where searching/excluding one synonym searches/excludes the entire group (exceptions detailed in the 'how-to tags' threadmark).

Tags that I would ideally have imply other tags, like 'worm au' having the parent tags 'worm' and 'au', I'm largely not touching right now.

Oh god it's finally happening thank you! I'm gonna give my own list of the Fate subseries to be merged too. I'm not sure how shit like "x au" and "x elements" are going to be handled so I didn't bother including them.

{fate - fate series} fate series

{fsn - f/sn - fate stay night - fate stay/night - fate/stay night} fate/stay night (rant: who made that 4th one? why there's 3 pages of it? are you people stupid?)

{fate zero - fate/zero} fate/zero

{fate apocrypha - fate/apocrypha} fate/apocrypha

{fate extra - fate/extra - fate/extra/ccc/extella/link} fate/extra

{fate strange fake - fate/strange} fate/strange fake

{fgo - fate grand order - fate/grand order} fate/grand order (note: there's 3 different variations of "fgo part 2 ending spoilers" tags that probably dont need to be included)

(prisma illya - "fate/kaleid liner prisma illya - oath under snow"} fate/kaleid liner prisma illya (note: I'm surprised "prillya" isnt also a tag, so I'll suggest it probably should be made and included for future proofing just in case)

Good stuff. Reading the tags of https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/i-saw-it-coming-from-far-away-fgo.39321/ showed the author using all 3 versions of that fgo tag. Insanity!
