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.

  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.

    So it says there are circumstances where posting in dead threads is ok, as long as it's a significant contribution, I'm wondering if something counts.

    If an author that posts lewds here for their stories on other sites posts a lewd somewhere else, but not here, is reviving a dead thread ok to inform people that the thread op has posted content elsewhere?

    The thing is "meaningful" posts.

    So notification that the writer had posted material from the dead thread elsewhere, that's fine.

    Posting that the writer had updated OTHER stuff that isn't from the dead thread elsewhere? That's NOT fine.

    EDIT - you could post on the writer's profile to remind them to post updates in their dead thread to let his readers know.

    I see, thank you for clearing that up a bit.


    I was a bit confused about the technically of it. Someone got in trouble for raising a thread to post a link to elsewhere and it seemed like something I'd do feeling helpful so I figured I should get some clarification before I stumbled into an infraction.

    I feel like some mods would still ding you if all you posted was a sentence or two and a link, but that you'd be able to successful contest it by pointing to this thread going like "this was my understanding when I posted that, was that incorrect?"

    (If you contest through proper channels, obviously.)
