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.
Accurate.
We don't hit OPs for necromancy, and if we do by accident, appealing with 'I'm the OP' would be a pretty slam dunk defence. The warning by the reply box is there to reduce the amount of accidental necros, due to not checking the dates.
I don't think we can stop OPs from getting the...
Try not to double-post; just edit additional content into your first post if no one has replied since.
Think the system updates every ~hour, though it might be more frequent than that.
I'm somewhat doubtful. You can search for tags, though, without an app, and QQ has internal bookmarks, which you could probably use to 'favourite' fics.
Do those do what you want it to?
Only admins can check that kind of thing directly, and, as far as I can tell, none of them have ever stated a number. With some cautious testing (only Ignoring lurkers), it seems to be more than 50, at least, so it might still be the hardcoded XenForo limit of 1,000.
Relevant commentary:
If...
I find all variations of 'if they're angry about being accused of [bad thing], they probably did it' deeply suspect. If you put a lot of care and effort into something, and someone responds to that with ‘did a machine write this for you’, or the more confident ‘a machine wrote this for you’...
You can ask when the next update is going to be. We mostly hit that when someone posts it in a thread where it's been over a month since the last reply, as that violates Rule 7, but, for dead threads, you can still ask on the authors profile or in a PM.
Whether it's rude or not, or how any...
Not that I can see. Even going back to the URL I used to load the Conversation, it just returns 'The requested conversation could not be found'.
Probably, if there were other participants in that Conversation, you'll just have to ask for an invite again. If you were the only participant, I'd...
I think tag requests, as I’ve seen them in the wild on QQ, tend to come from a kind of adversarial place. A user reads some percentage of the story, comes across an element they dislike, and they suggest adding a relevant tag so they (and everyone else) know it’s there in advance. It’s kinda...
…you Liked my post, where I asked people not to fight, and then you proceeded to continue the fight. Why would you do that?
I didn't use mod-colour last time, so let's try this again. If you continue, I will ban you from your own thread. The same goes for anyone else. Any further posts should...
