• The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
  • 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.
  • 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.

(Partially) fixing the tag system

My current plan with the celestial stuff is to keep all the variants separate, but make the versions Synonyms, so all the 'forge' version tags will still exist as distinct text (how that interacts with search explained in 'how-to tags' threadmark).

30k and 40k are being kept separate.

People will still be able to make custom tags independently, as before, and I'm mostly trying to keep any meme/flavourful tags existent. The hard-synonym thing is for cutting down on the current and future number of dupes, but part of the feedback periods is making sure the proposed merges actually are semantically identical.
