  • 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.

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    >Man quotes my first sentence out of context, then snobbishly repeats half of each of my own points back to me as if it's a rebuttal. Seriously, the only difference is that you were flavoring them with a thinly veiled standard set of Rule 7 salt. If this is the way things are gonna go, it might...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Just to make sure that there's nobody else getting confused, the part in the parentheses is very important there for how the rule settled. Linking to fan translations with no batch-download option=fine Linking to fan translations with a batch-download option=not fine The former are arguably...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    It was rather silly, I agree. Not quite the level of "I'll sabotage the people I disagree with by claiming to actually hold a strawman argument as my position!" levels of silly, because I can sadly believe that someone would actually go where they did unironically. But silly enough that it does...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    It's only been a mess, rather than a problematic mess, so there's been no real reason to shut it down yet. If you want it closed, there's always the option of lighting the thread on fire and throwing yourself upon the flames. Wouldn't recommend it, but it exists.

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    The duplicate translations thing, it should be noted, was not "the reason this happened." It was the trigger that got the rest of the staff to finally pay attention after a long while of a few of us regularly bringing it up, and it being ignored or put off for the umpteenth time. Which still...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    I'm pretty certain you've gotten very heavily rabbit-holed into arguing something that you likely don't even believe, at this point. When the thread started, you were making sound and reasonable arguments. Not ones I agreed with, but they were at least a sane position to be taking. Now you're...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Context. He's talking to people who are saying that it should be less protective, and pointing out that it's barely enough to sort of do the job as it is. It's good in the sense that it shouldn't be removed, not in the sense that it should go unchanged.

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    <Hefts executioner's axe with malicious intent "I thought you liked the guy, but if you insist..." :V Technically there's a grand and tyrannical 9 rules. But yeah, they pretty much boil down to those three if you're not one of the people who forced us to get more detailed with 'em. I always...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    QQ does not operate on Free Speech principles. There's certain topics, such as current politics, that we just flatly do not allow. Any argument made based on Free Speech and what constitutes censorship is kind of pointless here. While we do allow a lot of things that many other forums don't, and...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Posting a thread in either Announcements and Rules or in Appeals with the proofs should do it. Keep in mind, they need to be verifiable. If it's just a screenshot of a private conversation, that does not meet the requirement as it's extremely easy to fake. That might get adjusted though, as...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    The same argument could be made for crossposting someone else's English-language story without permission. We don't allow that either most of the time. Just because you name the other person as the author, doesn't mean you're not still breaking the spirit of the plagiarism rule if you're doing...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    I'm glad to see it. The increasing number of these has been twigging my wariness towards liability issues, as well as my plagiarism sense like crazy. We don't allow people to post other people's works that were already in English without having permission, why should we allow it just because it...

    My grandma has died. Please raise a glass of something in her honor. A more joyful woman and a better grandmother, no man could wish for.

    Search Function Doesn't List Member Name

    I've noticed this with autocompleting user names in a post as well. It's definitely a bug, and it's included at least a few users who are frequently mentioned in some threads. Such as Kinkrow; in the General SI thread, people are supposed to ping them any time they post a snippet there, for...
