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.
It's kinda bad etiquette to post consecutively, and we'll merge them if it happens too often or there's too many. You can have multiple spoilers in the same post, if that's the issue.
Edit:
You can also give the spoilers titles to indicate which parts of the build they are like so:
Which...
Well, the rules and FAQ might help a bit. For anything else, it'd help to know what you want to use the forum for. Like, exclusively reading, or are you also a writer? Do you want to talk with other people about specific fandoms or subjects you're interested in? Would you like a basic idea of...
Rule 8 mostly doesn't apply to stories, just out-of-story posts; I've only ever seen the former be both blatant and inflammatory enough with their reference to a current political event to be in violation once, I think. Just avoid using the names of living RL people, and you should be fine...
If someone else, like the OP or BlackDragon98 did, wants to ask whether a certain image is okay, they can contact us, but this thread has run its course, and there's been seven mod/admin posts on the first page about this subject already (not counting my first).
General AI discussion should...
Addendum: We can add Thread Collaborators to threads. This allows the collaborator to make their own threadmarks, and I’m pretty sure it also allows them to edit tags, the summary, create and delete polls… standard OP stuff.
They may be able to edit the first post too, but I’m very uncertain...
It was good to report it. We didn't/don't feel it was over the line, but, given they subsequently hopped over said line, we'd likely want to have a word with the user at the point you flagged in the future, so it doesn't get to that point.
We already have this feature. Just go into 'advanced search'.
Edit:
Screenshots to illustrate:
This lets you search for and exclude numerous tags, alongside other things.
You could have the list of tags you want to ignore saved elsewhere, and just paste them into the ‘Without tags’ section...
Half of the thread now seems to be off-topic sniping…
Either post on-topic things, or don't post at all. I'm not locking this, just in case some people still have something useful to say, but the thread is currently heading in that direction.
An admin will have to say whether this is possible, but as a workaround to accomplish the same thing: you could make a table of contents/index post with all the links to the posts you would otherwise threadmark, and bookmark that index.
Edit: Ninja-ed.
Let’s go with no.
Admins are already pretty wary of the normal adult celebrity smut hosted on the platform, and we’ll honour any takedown requests. This seems like the kind of thing that’d raise the chance of that happening, so please keep it to the other platform.
Posts in the Approval Queue taking a few hours to get to isn’t unusual. You’ve since posted in an actual thread, rather than just a profile, so any future posts shouldn’t need a mod to Approve it. You should also be able to PM now.
The Story Rant thread is for talking about stories you’re currently reading or have read, and the Stories You Just Gave Up On thread is for discussing stories you’ve dropped. Either of those what you’re looking for?
Wait, not quite.
If you just bookmark the search page it doesn't seem to update when you reload it, being that one of the names I've got in the URL posted ~30 minutes ago, and it isn't displaying. When I actually copy and paste the names into the advanced search again, though, it does bring up...
