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.

    Is it allowed? Like my original story is going to be abuse the political campaign of someone who's in a fictional country and world.

    So is that allowed here?

    Stories about fictional politics are fine. Be careful when making any mention of a specific, real, modern politician -- this might be allowed if it's off-hand, but if it's politically inflammatory we'll probably not allow it.

    You should be careful to avoid elements that are easily interpreted as attacking or endorsing controversial modern causes or factions.

    True it's about someone who wants to be president in his country. Takes place in a modern sera.
