An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
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.
You can change it by posting in any thread - I'd suggest Introductions though it isn't required. That'll change it to the next Messages title, but once you've got at least one post approved, your account will become fully activated, so you'll be able to change it to whatever in your account details.

We've been giving this thread quite a bit of leeway with regards to Rule 8, due to how relevant the subject matter is to QQ as a site. That does not mean that Rule does not exist here, however:
We don't like having to keep repeating ourselves. I'll be putting up a threadbanner, so...
Xon. I think new features generally go from SV -> SB -> QQ, based on the respective closeness of Xon to each site (the prior two they use as test beds), though QQ doesn't bother with getting everything SV/SB does.
Mods are generally normal users, who before they volunteered for the job enjoyed participating in various aspects of the forum, including discussions. That they're now staff doesn't mean they agreed to stop doing any of that, and, if that were a requirement, I'd personally become somewhat...
Not sure whether this is even technically feasible, but if it is, there should be some checkbox when posting to manually stop that from happening. There are reasons why you might want to separate consecutive posts, like if one is an omake, informational, or what-have-you, and the other is a...
Not speaking for the whole moderation team here - I’m still very new - but:
From what I’ve seen, we don’t punish people for roleplaying like they’re too cool for school, we just don’t show them much, if any, leniency when deciding what punishments we give them for actually punishment-worthy...
Not sure whether making this the default would impact traffic to new fics, lessening feedback, maybe causing more of them to never get off the ground. Or cause people to put in filler just to get onto main street, which would probably waste both reader's and writer's time and degrade story...

If you then click 'Staff Online‘, it’ll take you to the full list of Admins and Moderators:
You can then just click on whoever you...
If you want to change the 'Your first time is always over so quickly, isn't it?' to something else:
Click Avatar at top of page for drop down menu -> Account details -> Custom Title | Or click this link.
If you actually mean your Signature, I.e. the bit underneath every one of your posts (mine...
You do need to post at least once on the forum to unlock some account privileges (like editing your custom title, but probably other things too), and your posts are invisible till your first is approved (spambot measure). There's an introduction thread, but there's no rule about where your first...
I'm not sure you can Ignore an entire sub-forum, but I think mods might be able to ban you from it. If you can't post there, maybe you'll be less inclined to read it?
Edit: @JadeKaiser You're online, could you do this? Or bring it up to an Admin if you can't?
Edit 2: Or Biigoh, who I see is...
@alethiophile @ultima333 @tehelgee
Don’t want to be a bother, but it’s been another month. Any response would be fine, including ‘we have no plans to do anything about this’.
AI in general isn't, there's a thread for it, but I imagine you shouldn't talk about this or that political party, figure, or country's policy (with the possible exception of things that immediately affect QQ itself, though I'd mostly just stay away), or yourself advocate for specific political...
