QQ will have forum downtime on October 21, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern time, for software updates.
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.

get down off your high horse bruh. there's a whole gamut of AI use from "used it for SPAG" to "used it to suggest stuff" to "used it to outline" to "used it to generate chunks and then edited into decency" to "actually just straight slop". i don't use it myself, never will, but the site isn't...
was that how it came off? that wasn't the intent, sorry. i'm not good at tone. was meant to be exhasperated.
edit: fuck it, removing post... post removed. lesson learned: don't post while fighting a headache.
