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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
As mentioned, there's a big difference between things being de facto and things being de jure. The act of putting it on paper is a huge escalation from "we'll do it quietly".

As I recall, the specific reasoning for this was that the stagehands, wearing black to signify they 'weren't part of the scene', would get "tuned out" by the audience's minds accordingly. Hence the stagehand-outfit-wearing ninja would - as far as the audience was concerned - literally come out...
On Earth-16, Gotham City - based on the map shown in one episode - is where OTL Bridgeport, Connecticut is. So Blüdhaven presumably has replaced Stratford.
The problem has been fixed, but this jumped out at me - isn't there a banner about how Outlook addresses are no bueno due to Microsoft's spam filtering refusing to let QQ emails through?
