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.

    Searching for a word ending in S will also return results for the word without the terminal S. There does not appear to be a way to force the search to only return results with the S.

    While many words ending in S are plural and as such the two sets of results are similar in meaning, and many of the rest are not a word after the S is removed, this causes issues for a few things, in particular names (Luca/Lucas, Ilia/Ilias, etc.).

    You might try putting quotes around the search term. This restricts the search a fair bit, though I can't immediately tell the precise rule.

    Quoting it doesn't work.
    Quoting it followed by a space doesn't work.
