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.

Moderation Applications for 2024 (Applications Closed)

I bullied ultima333 into letting me write this announcement for a change. I’ll skip to the pertinent bits because I don’t want to attention-whore more than I have to. I’m quitting as a moderator because I plan on going to law school this year and that is absolutely going to kill the free time I have left. This means that there’s a vacancy on the moderation staff that needs to be filled. Furthermore, QQ has continued to grow over the last year, which means we desperately need more people with banhammers. So if you want to apply to be a part of QQ’s moderation staff, your application’s welcome. In order to apply, please submit a PM/conversation to ultima333 answering the following questions: 1) What times are you active on the forum? (in GMT) 2) Do you feel you are familiar with the QQ community? 3) Why do you feel you will make a good moderator? 4) What do you think proper conduct is for a moderator? 5) What do you think the purpose of a moderator is? 6) In one paragraph, please explain what the purpose of one of the rules is on this site and when it’d be appropriate/inappropriate to apply it. Those applications will then be forwarded to the rest of the current moderation team, where they’ll discuss who to pick as a replacement. This will take time, so please be patient once you’ve sent in your application.
