• A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • QQ will have forum downtime on October 21, starting at 10:00 AM Eastern time, for software updates.
  • 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.

Let us have another 30 tags for each story thread -- 30 tags which can't be set by the author, only by community suggestions.

- No free-form tags, only tags which already exist can be voted up.
- Can't community-vote for a tag which the author already put on the thread.
- Only tags with a threshold number of votes show up on the thread's default interface.
- Each user can vote for some small number of extra tags per thread.
- Community tags which the author "promotes" into being author-approved regular tags ought to refund votes.

That would probably need a plugin but sounds pretty neat. Like the nhentai tagging system? Also, would this be better as opt-in or as a new built-in feature?

You might want something that returns a tag to being a community tag if the author promotes then removes it, in case someone intentionally does that to remove a single tag.

Yeah, exactly.

Probably built-in because opt-in would require that inexperienced or tech-unsavvy authors turn it on, and their threads are the ideal audience for the feature.

The feature is basically a way to handle cases where a thread has more-experienced / more-savvy readership relative to the thread's author, plus cases where the author is long gone but the thread is now being read by people who recognize a new category of writing that wasn't known / popular / relevant when the story was originally posted.
