• 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.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
  • 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.

    A question on forum mechanics, do you know exactly how long drafts are preserved by the QQ textbox? I know it is at least two days, but I am just really curious about the actual number. I was told an admin might know.
    Hello! Can I have my account approved, please? I have been waiting for a verification for maybe 2 weeks now, and I only just found out about the gmail problem.

    Where is the right place for asking "is there a threadmark downloader? Either an extension, an app (like the vote tally-er that still works), or somekind of site that somehow can download xenforo threads and counts QQ". Suggestions and Bugs forum? General chat thread?

    It feels a bit off for "suggestions and bugs", because I am not asking for the function to be created in QQ, too niche. Just wanting to ask a crowd if they know of any. It could fall under 'general chat' thread, but that thread is so broad it counts basically everything.
    Should I just make a new thread in "General" forum?

    Hi mate, just a lurker here and had to do a google search search on how to get my account approved. Says I need to have made a post which I did a couple of years back but my profile page is telling me that my full account details are not currently editable. I want to post some of my writing on here and change my username. Is this something you can help me with please? Thank you

    I had no idea I needed to post, would've just waited for an email, don't tell me it's all manual

    Would you mind looking at my suggestion? Surprised its drawing so much flak.

    Tag Voting

    Many stories and quests are untagged or undertagged, and some are incorrectly tagged. Back when QQ was much smaller this wasn't such a huge problem, but as QQ's content portfolio explodes more efficient search becomes imperative, and more complete tagging is a flexible and effective solution...

    "So much flak."

    Reality: Two people bringing up current policies, with one of them arguing one point, and a third person genuinely opening dialogue with you over these ideas.

    C'mon, bruh.

    I wanted an admin I've interacted with before to look at my suggestion, news at 11

    Did I suggest moderator action against others? Nope.

    This is cringe, you've gotta stop being so paranoid.
    Hiya, hate to bother but I can you please approve me? Thanks :)

    - Your account is currently awaiting approval by an administrator. You will receive an email when a decision has been taken.
    Hi I created an account but it says I need approval from an admin? I would really appreciate it if you could help me sort it out. Ty :)

    Hi I was wondering if I can get two of my accounts shut down so I can change my email over to my main one this email almost got hacked and I don't feel safe using it
    Hi. I created my account a couple of weeks back. Haven't received approval by an administrator or gotten an email or anything regarding that. Mate could you help. What steps need to be taken for this process to be expedited?
    Hello there (General Kenobi), I was hoping to get my name changed to Perpetually-Tired-Guy.
    My password for my account isn't working, and my email doesn't get emails from qq. Can you help me? I can provide my username and email.

    I am not able to create poll, once the thread is created.

    Is this intentional or i didn't know how to do it?🥲

    hello i was just here to request my username be changed to ScarletCinnabar if you could please or allow me too? i just want it changed before i try to post something

    Hello. I'm having a disagreement with someone over whether 0-post members can view the member-only fora (e.g. NSFW Creative Writing, Rants). I'm pretty sure they used to be able to, which is why QQ has so many 0-post members compared to SB/SV.

    Has this changed?

    Any account can view the hidden fora, so long as they're approved. The most common way to get approved is to make a post in a thread, but it also works to make a profile post, or to get mods to do it manually.

    I'm pretty sure this is how it's always worked, maybe modulo subtleties.

    Cannot post in a thread without being approved, so 🤷‍♂️

    Hello, I haven't received approval yet after over a week, is there something else i need to do to get approved? Or do I need to just wait some more?

    Thank you.
    Can I have some help please. I made an account a few months back and it has still pending approval. I'm confused about what to do.

    Hi, sorry, I don't seem to be able to reply in the DMs?
    To answer the question - no, I'm not, since I don't remember the password for that either :/
    I reset it just a few days ago, but you can probably guess, by how frequently I reset it, that I forgot the password a lot

    I could verify with stuff I talking about in conversations with others, e.g. LaughingMan? That I was looking for writers for my startup, working on an AI image editor (though actually I haven't started this yet)
    I think I might have recommended pixai?
    Back again, I've been waiting for account approval for a few months. Was hoping you or another admin could help with getting approval.

    Can't reply in the "Sup Y'all" thread to show I'm real or whatever either.

    Sorry to bother.
