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.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    Maybe I’m just dumb and lack reading comprehension, but I have a question about this section and I figured it’d be better to be safe than sorry.

    Does this disallow people to have a ‘nsfw username’ that is used only on nsfw sites?
    IE: AppleKid is the username of Steve when he writes sfw fiction on other sites. When he joins QQ he doesn’t want his accounts to be connected so he has his username be OrangeKid instead. Steve only registers OrangeKid on QQ, and thus doesn’t have multiple accounts on QQ. Is Steve breaking rule 4?

    Not in this circumstance.

    To use your example:
    If Steve were to use two accounts on QQ - 'AppleKid' to associate themself with their other-site personae, and 'OrangeKid' to post NSFW materials that Steve doesn't want associated with 'AppleKid' - then Steve would be breaking Rule 4.

    Basically, Rule 4 is all about alt- and sock-accounts, which are banned and will get you banned if you're caught using them. The NSFW aspect you quoted forms an FAQ-like response to the question of whether wanting to have SFW and NSFW accounts on the same site would be a good enough reason to break Rule 4 - which, for the official record, it's not.

    Hope that helps?

    This is correct.
