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.
    Dismiss Notice
  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

  7. The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

    I can't seem to find any buttons for deleting posts. Am I missing something?

    No, only mods or higher can delete posts. If you accidentally doublepost, just report one.

    Ah. So that's the reason behind the double check.

    Can't you set it so, that people can delete their own post, if it's the last one in a thread? Maybe add some 10-minute time limit, if you have to limit it further than that.

    It's nice to have, for the cases, when you accidentally post in a wrong thread, or post an incomplete, long post and suspect that someone else will reply, before you are done editing it.

    No, there's no ability to set time limits. Either you can, or you can't.

    Would 'Report to moderator' be a viable option to get a mods attention to delete it?
