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.
I see, I see. And what, pray tell, shall be the usage of these payments? I of course, fully support our most august and glorious king of fluff, but I am a poor man, underfunded and unpaid for my past work by the old regime. Surely, a kind and righteous ruler such as yourself would never allow...
I can. Before I do so however, I want you to confirm you want it. Sometimes people ask for this sort of thing, and then change their minds. Note that there is no guarantee we will unban you later if you ask.
Either that's supposed to be some kind of edgy joke, in which case cringe, or it's supposed to be some kind of threat, in which case I'm amused at the attempt but you're gonna get banned for harassment.
If someone is hurling insults at you, then rules about people hurling insults apply.
Giving special treatment to referencing Tumblr however, more than we would for anything else being used as an insult or descriptor? No. Rule 9: No words are outright forbidden, nor will there be a list of...
I actually am staff, and the general rule is that it should be a "new and significant contribution." What that means in this context, is something new for or about the story in particular. Things like fanart you made for it, an omake of significant length (and preferably quality), mention that...
At the risk of "being a staff member with a personal opinion," good. That's the #1 rule of internet safety: do not give out personal information of any kind, unless it directly relates to what you are doing.
A site asks for your address? Are you asking them to ship you something? No? Then they...
We actually have planned on putting it in the official listed rules for a long time, and still do. It's just. Y'know. Procrastination. Much like several other rules clarifications and consolidations, it's stuck being relitigated on the staff Discord and a thread in the staff discussion subforum...
And of course, you can always PM a staff member or otherwise contact us if you have something specific you're not sure about posting. Even if another staff member sees it later and hits it, "I asked and was told it was okay" is about as airtight an appeal as you can get.
You know, as long as...
