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.
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.
Was it kiff and Ugolino going at it and taking up half a page with pointless sniping that pushed you over the edge, or was there something problematic in the actual discussion that had been going on before that?
Pointless sniping and I think the thread is inherently just toxic in its nature due to people treating it as if there are no rules there beyond 'cite shit'.
I thought the whole point of the rants section *to begin with* was that you were perfectly free to call your esteemed counterparts a cockmongler in addition to whatever matter, or other colourful defamations of character liberally applied to spice up the discourse.
Else, its just another glorified general/ot forum.
Why are you trying to move discussions on inherently-contentious topics out of the board for heated discussions? I mean, when I responded "Away with you, Satan!" when you suggested this a while back, I was only half-joking.
You can discuss contentious material outside of rants... the only thing is to stay on topic, and not to attack other members on the forum. ie be polite when talking things. Also be prepared to cite things.
