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.
As long as a user follows the biggest unofficial-official rule, which is 'obey mod directives', there's not likely to be much of a problem, practically. We do plan to add (at least some of) the unofficial-official rules, at some undetermined future date, but I wouldn't expect that to be anytime...
If you go into your account preferences-
-and scroll down to 'Settings by notification category: When someone…', there should be a load of options below. Just turn off anything you don't want to be notified of.
Not an admin, but, we're aware of this, and it's not currently causing a problem server-side. We do think it's bots, though.
Tangentially, if you (or anyone else) specifically want an admin's help, it's probably faster to directly tag them, rather than waiting for them to pop their heads in on...
I'm a fairly asinine person, on occasion. :V I raised this with the other staff, and got taco's confirmation (it being more a Rule 1 issue than 3, and that being a dick in a more circumspect way is still being a dick) - I can get back to you if I do get any disagreement, but, until I do, that's...
My sympathies.
This isn't a ruling solely to avoid legal trouble*, as in the download link part of Rule 3, so I don't think we'll be very amused by people playing technicalities.
*Though I guess we are a lot more likely to provoke legal action from current QQ members, rather than people that...
To be clear, the ruling applies to reposting, or linking to an archived version of, any QQ user’s deleted work.
I’m pretty interested in this topic though, so I’ll probably effort-post later.
I’m almost certain we do host images directly, though I don’t think that’s always been the case. My SOP for posting images is to upload it to Discord, copy and paste that link into QQ, then delete it from Discord. I presume we keep it in-house because of the chronic unreliability of external...
Acknowledging doesn't really do anything, practically, beyond notifying you about the Warning. You're not even agreeing it was a legitimate hit, just letting us know that you know you have been.
The likely reason for it blocking out being able to do anything else is so people can't just ignore...
As the ROB said. You might want to limit the frequency to your once-a-day, so people can comment on each individual chapter, but staff won’t stop you even if you posted it all at once.
I seem to be having the same problem, apparently, so this is my last attempt. I guess I can refer back to these answers when this comes up again, as it assuredly will.

Many readers face the same problem you have.
A story will (after some time) suddenly have NTR, or side character POVs...
There is.
In general, we don't enforce the inclusion of any tags for a few reasons:
People use tags for different reasons, and most of those uses are valid.
People have different priorities regarding which tags are important, and their preferences are also valid.
The same tag might mean...
