• 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.

    The choice of describing it as speeding up you rather than slowing down the entire world is basically to avoid giving odd connotations of a 9th-level (in 3.5/PF) being more wide-ranging in effect than many epic spells (affecting the entire world is on par with shit like Karsus' Avatar). Also...

    To stop something is to cause it to not progress with respect to something else. The time X experiences cannot be stopped with respect to the time X experiences, as if 0 seconds pass in 1 second that implies 1=0. To stop the time X experiences with respect to the time Y experiences is equivalent...

    Multi-quote button for locked threads

    There are some cases where this applies. There are other cases where the discussion was not relevant to the threadlock (e.g. old discussions in a story thread since locked for necromancy) or where the thread was locked for the discussion being okay but off-topic to that thread/subforum.

    Multi-quote button for locked threads

    It would be pretty neat if one could quote a post in a locked thread (for reply in another thread, or in a PM) without having to be a moderator. Obviously, the "Reply" button needs to be locked out for locked threads, but the multiquote button doesn't.

    Rule 3 clarification: do any of these count as photorealistic?

    Well, it's an economic argument involving the idea of things being driven from the market, but it's different in significant ways (Gresham's Law relies on legal tender laws, and operates in reverse without them; also, good money driven out by Gresham's Law is hoarded, whereas here we're talking...

    Rule 3 clarification: do any of these count as photorealistic?

    If it becomes commonplace, no-one will bother making the real thing anymore, for much the same reason that films use special effects rather than putting their actors in real mortal danger. It is expensive, particularly in risk premium, to film the rape of actual children compared to making...

    Or Australia, or Britain, or quite a number of other countries.

    "The real question is; does the convention of yandere storytelling even allow for a straight-up happy ending?" I mean, literal Gasai Yuno canonically got one (in Redial). This seems relevant.

    You win this round.

    Rule 3 clarification: do any of these count as photorealistic?

    I didn't say I agreed with those laws. I merely noted that they exist (and thus might have an impact on what the mods are willing to allow).

    Rule 3 clarification: do any of these count as photorealistic?

    You missed something, which is that AI art that's actually indistinguishable from real CP is sometimes itself illegal even in the USA.

    Making ai tags mandatory

    Why don't you just turn it off? First thing I do upon getting a new computer.

    Making ai tags mandatory

    You're missing the "AI writes too well, to the point that it's a memetic hazard" problem.

    Tag Voting

    To be clear, they were polite about it. There wasn't hostility to me, and I don't think they did it out of hostility toward Princess: the Hopeful either. I said "crazy", not "malicious", because as far as I could tell they thought what they did was the correct thing to do.
