• A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • 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.

    Generating non slop ai writing

    Moderation mostly doesn’t care; if the threads aren’t distinct enough, one usually dies on its own, but that’s up to the userbase. We generally only intervene when a specific user has made two of the same thread, to delete the duplicate.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    Will edit that in tomorrow then. Also thinking about highlighting specific bits of the batch I’d like people to doublecheck, which I’ll probably do tomorrow too. Sleep now.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    See what you mean. Possibly ‘pseudo-historical’ and ‘semi-historical?’ would be better synonymised with ‘historical fantasy’ too, looking at their results, and the rest in the ‘historical fiction’ group?

    Corrected. That was my misspelling, rather than an existing tag.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I agree, though that's already in the genre merge/synonym groups (not a stray). It's currently: [historical] history [historical fantasy] historical fiction [alternate history - alt history - althistory] alt-history {history - alt-history - pseudo-historical - semi-historical? - rewriting...

    As with the fandom strays, checked the genre stray quantities. There's certainly less. Also noticed that 'reincarnated in a game' can probably be put in the 'isekai game world' group, and probably would make a better Canonical tag too, so edited that into that genre synonym group.

    Suggestion: Images Sub-Forum

    It's a fair point. The idea was last floated in - *checks* - 2019, so there may be more of a case for it now. Edit: The amount of slots taken up by image threads in the NSFW general thread list, from a quick skim, is currently 14/20, 13/20, 9/20, 11/20. Regardless, you should be able to reduce...

    Ban Request

    The Rants ban is something admins went out of their way to make. They could theoretically do the same with other subforums, but it's not something mods can currently offer. This is also the first time I've seen a request like this, so there are probably more productive uses of admin time.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I was checking the quantities of the fandom strays (as they’ll be relatively static), as I imagine I’ll decide on a cutoff number to treat as the threshold for the Suggested Tags thread. I didn’t bother to order anything with less than a page of results, and there’ll be more added once the...

    Ban Request

    You can just stay logged out for the duration, and that'll limit your access to the SFW areas. Won't have Alerts or a Watched threads list though.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    If they’re already referring to multiple things on QQ, I’ve kept acronyms separate rather than picking which to merge/synonymise with. So with HoTD, I’ve just left the tag alone. Fair, can keep that as a synonym. 'AI generated' could refer to writing, but it could also refer to images, or a...

    Suggestion: Images Sub-Forum

    This idea was floated at some point, but, while we don’t mind image threads, we aren’t an image board, so we don’t really want to cause an increase in the amount of server space taken up by them. (I’ve never manually resized an image, so can’t comment on that.)

    Threadmarks: Third batch (feedback 31st July - 10th August)

    Third Batch So, this is the third batch. Freakin' massive, so I'm only doing one version of the list this time, but I have tried to organise it into categories, merge/synonym groups, and within that by subject. It doesn't matter if some genre stuff is in fandoms, vice a versa, or some are...

    Done. The last thing I need to do before the next feedback period is format the list into a post, which I’ll do tomorrow.

    Use Bot here? How?

    QQ does have an internal vote tally system, and a dice roll. The vote tally can be found in an OPs 'thread tools' (only available in the quest subforums though), and a dice roll is one of the options available from the reply box (available anywhere). I've never used either, so I can't give any...

    Does Rule 8 apply to fictional stories?

    …relevant answers from previous threads: I’m not sure whether you didn’t go back and read any of the relevant threads, as I requested, or just didn’t understand the very consistent answers. ‘Ronald Dump’ isn’t really putting any effort at all into obscuring you’re using a current day...

    Does Rule 8 apply to fictional stories?

    We've answered this specific question before, a few times, so I'd appreciate it if you look through the existent rule question threads in this subforum before adding another to your collection. I'll write up a proper answer if you're still confused after you've read the previous threads about...

    People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    Report the thread and another mod will decide.

    People are using AI but not disclosing it. How do you detect it ?

    We generally only threadban people if they violate rules, or defy mod directives. Regardless, you’re allowed (and encouraged) to report if a thread is being derailed, and a mod might agree and re-rail it. I’m not gonna get involved in any moderation myself, as I’ve participated here.
