• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • 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.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Questionable Questing

You'll be able to fit more notes in fewer messages if you comment on your own posts, rather than making new ones. The character limit is higher for comments than for top-level profile posts.

As for why... well, the most recent profile posts *do* show up on the front page. Your most recent sentence fragment caught my eye.

Come to think of it, you'd also avoid spamming the New Profile Posts section of the front page that way. Win-win?

You could also use, you know, pastebin. Instead of shitting up public profile posts.

Alternatively, you could create a conversation with account number 2, testaccount. I have been informed that that account doesn't actually have a user, being a test account.

Alternatively, you could create a conversation with a user who will leave the conversation after its creation, thus resulting in a one-person conversation. I think.
I've never tested this method, and don't know if it'll work or if it's allowed. You should ask someone.

Alternatively, you could make a friend, and share a convo for ideas and notes. Talk about them, refine them, essentially bounce ideas around.

Or. Ooor you could,

Use an ofline text-entry application. So that no one who doesn't have access to your computer can ever see them.

Just stop spamming the recent profile posts page.

Really don't think he needs to be told five times, guys.

I disagree. Also, I provided four alternatives.

1) I approve of the four alternatives. That part's fine.
2) Given that it's quite apparent to me that lankhmar was unaware that these posts appeared on the front page in the first place, AND that he'd rather they not be seen at all, being told once is almost certainly *quite sufficient.*

3) Note also that he's only been told *four* times so far, including by you. My hope is that the *next* person to wander by doesn't also feel inclined to dogpile.

Mistakes were made last night. May try some of the options suggested if the urge to write something hits again (its rare). Thanks Pepper, sorry Valette.

Peppers right though, DIdnt really need to be told more than once, having people stumble onto that shitty writing is probably worse punishment than anything a mod could do hahah
Valette-Serafina
Valette-Serafina
Eh. I've seen worse, and I don't think the writing itself breaks any rules.
