A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.

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.
From a rules perspective, you can do any of those options (and more besides).

It is set up that way because of the scenario where you would have spam accounts just joining and posting spam/scam stuff all over. By requiring the one first post that needs to be manually approved before the account unlocks, any such spam is invisible to normal users and mods can clean it up...
Yep, no worries. We typically don't infract somebody after the necro because maybe they didn't see the necro warning or any of a dozen reasons, so you are fine.
The other option there is that the thread author might want to purge the thread themselves, so they update the thread title, and edit all of their threadmarks.
