• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • 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.

So I don't know about the mods or if it's just me, but I can get really angry and do things that I hate later think are out of proportion.

I propose that before permbaning someone you give them a tempban that could be upgraded to a Permaban Without Reinstating the individual. This could allow the moderation staff to approach it sometime later and review if a Permaban is actually necessary, or they caught up in the heat of the moment.

Another thing I noticed is that moderators delete text post get people banned I can understand that. However, I think that they should be put in a spoiler with a warning that this content is unacceptable. Exceptions would, of course exist for stuff like CP and similar. This would be mostly for text so that people can understand why the individual question was banned. It would also provide people with the context behind the decision.

another related suggestion would be to when banning someone post a link in the banned individual profile to the post that got banned. This would potentially stop mods, having to explain why individual banned, thereby Decreasing moderation teams workload.

i'm aware that some of this may be infeasible, however, these are intended to help.
