  • 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.

  1. Chaos Gacha everywhere?

    I don't hate them too, but I didn't encounter a single one that I would consider passable.

  2. What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    That's how you fix isekai: by not being isekai.

  3. (Partially) fixing the tag system

    The main difference is that almost always SI has meta-knowledge.

  4. (Partially) fixing the tag system

    I think so too, but I want to make sure, because it does change how I would prefer tags to be grouped. What about the "double tags" like "worm au" that (imo) should be two separate tags: 'worm' and 'au'. It's not in the scope of what is done currently? Edit: Here are direct synonyms, 1 to 1 in...

  5. (Partially) fixing the tag system

    How will the aggregation work? Can the linking be one-way or is it always two-way? Example: tags 'Worm', 'Ward', 'Parahumans'. Link 'Worm' -> 'Parahumans', 'Ward' -> 'Parahumans' Will searching for 'Worm' result only in showing what's currently tagged by 'Worm' or it will show 'Worm'...

  6. (Partially) fixing the tag system

    Every "[something] au" should be merged with "[something]" and "au" should be used as a separate tag

  7. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Yes. Cut out the middleman. I heard that the EU wants to introduce something like this, but I don't know anything beyond headlines. Edit: And Brasil introduced it some time ago, I think.

  8. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    The solution is to force Visa/MasterCard to abide by the law: if porn/anything else is legal they have no right to refuse payments. If the law allows them this: the law has to change. As is now, a small group of people, above any national law, without any legitimacy, established their own...

  9. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Turns out that championing censorship doesn't protect you from censorship. Now, from the perspective of time such cases do look like test-runs.

  10. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Well, an example from near internet neighborhood (Sufficient Velocity) how payment processors can enforce their dictatorial will within existing framework. Not very funny.

  11. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Nah, none of these things happened. Instead, we had long campaign of fear mongering that prepared the ground for the change and people were being gaslighted into believing that their freedom can only be protected by taking the freedom away.

  12. AI experiments (ChatGPT and others)

    Yes, that's what I meant. Also is every chapter output of a separate prompt? Did you choose the best from multiple tries or is it the first result? The story is surprisingly coherent and even has something of a narrative structure (as of chapter 3). Did you wrote general outline of the plot or...

  13. AI experiments (ChatGPT and others)

    So, is it the raw output or are you smoothing it out and if so, in what way? The stories generated by AI have such dreamlike quality. And the writing is very... puffy? Fluffy?

  14. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    I have no idea how being from Europe changes anything?

  15. Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Are you sure they caved instead of using it as an excuse or even sponsoring and creating the excuse? I heard that this model was popular on universities: the faculty wants to do X, a friendly student council starts demanding action in X, the faculty "appeases" students introducing X. I...
