We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
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.
Another cool idea I had is that Amityville, the place where Danny Fenton is set, the whole town is actually super quiet and close knit and doesn't really have a lot of violent crime or a real ghost problem. All the issues in the series are caused by Danny's parents and Vlad experimenting around and basically building a doorway for all the ghost to go through.
Which is the excuse I'm using for why the Shining's much darker and more evil ghost, don't make an appearance. Amnityville genuinely is a very nice place to live and doesn't have enough violence to sustain some of the nastier stuff. But the issues is that by digger deeper and deeper into the ghost world, you start to invite more ghost until eventually those evil spirits start to take notice.
