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.

  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.

  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.

    I thought I would start a thread here to share some of our various HOA horror stories that happened to you or someone you know.

    I will start.
    HOA signed a 20 year deal with comcast in 2017 forcing every single person living under that HOA to pay for comcast basic cable at a "discount" that was basically more than full price. Even though most people are cable cutters who use netflix instead, or used verizon fios, or dish, and also most of the neighborhood were pensioners for whom it was their summer home, and in winter they left to warmer states. Also even if you did use comcast it did not play nice with any of their deals, so you got shafted there too.
    Apparently this is a common predatory practice by comcast, as a quick search shows it happening to other people and in other states

    Also, apparently HOA can foreclose on your home... average debt for a bank foreclosing on a home is 195k$, average debt for a HOA to foreclose on a home? 2k$ in unpaid fines.
