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.
All transactions are contracts. Sometimes they're contracts whose terms can be immediately fulfilled, but that's irrelevant. A signature on a receipt doesn't have any legal effect, lots of countries don't even do it any more.
Contracts don't even have to be written down at all, so no.
You don't have to sign anything to form a contract. The store made an offer, and you accepted that offer by carrying out your part of the purchase. That's sufficient.
I don't think you have to know your counterparty by any particular name to form a contract with them. Do you know the corporate identity of your grocery store? Would not knowing it make you contract of sale with them invalid? Probably not. Taylor's understanding of who she was dealing with...
Lots of companies operate under something other then their official name, it's called a trade name. Slut Life is probably technically a brand owned by some vaguely named corporate body. The real problems come from things like efficient breach, which says they'd only be entitled to sue her for...
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what the law is and how it works. The purpose of the law isn't to follow arbitrary prescriptions, it's to maintain a functional and stable society. In any half-sane legal system, that "contract" isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
I have this urge to teach Junko about compatabilism, but she's invested enough of her identity in denying her own ability to choose that it's a lost cause.

What do you think Homura was doing every time she time travels? Kyubey has always been very clear about any wish being possible. It would probably cause more of a karmic backlash, but that's a positive for him.
