1. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.
    Dismiss Notice
  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

  6. A note about the current Ukraine situation: Discussion of it is still prohibited as per Rule 8

    Just asking you mods/admins here just to be sure, given the topic. I mean I did make a thread on privacy on SB and SV and they were, informative, to a point.

    Since such a discussion would likely skirt/go well into political discussion, I'm just asking if it is acceptable to have such a discussion.

    If not, then I loose nothing other than the potential of getting points against my record. If yes, then all I get is a (possibly) interesting discussion on privacy.

    Rule 8 isn't meant to be that restrictive, really. Aside from obvious violations e.g. actual election commentary, it's fine just to make the thread, and if we think it'll be a problem then we'll close it. If you display good faith, then you won't get infracted for a mistake.

    One of the ones under the "off topic" header, unless it's fiction/fiction-specific meta or a concern about QQ's privacy setup.
