• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • 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.

Questionable Questing

I told my voters they could get 1 level per 100 words for the next voting period (about 24 hours) so they wrote around 20,000 combined words in that time.

Now I know how to motivate them, but I must resist the urge to do this every single time in order to farm omakes :^)

Next time, it might be better to give a fixed amount of XP per 100 words, rather than awarding levels directly. That way you have built-in diminishing returns to keep it from getting too crazy.

I prefer the Levels. More likely to motivate people...Like my lazy ass.

pepperjack's solution is a reasonable one, but I'm so lazy and it would make me have to do maths...
