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

The solution is to force Visa/MasterCard to abide by the law: if porn/anything else is legal they have no right to refuse payments.

If the law allows them this: the law has to change.

As is now, a small group of people, above any national law, without any legitimacy, established their own shadowy de-facto laws.

Even more reason to bypass them via crypto or alternate payment processors and infrastructure.

It is not the 1980s anymore, tech has advanced a lot.

This is nonsense.

Crypto is the worst of the options that would work. It opens up a whole system of easy abuse. As you put it:

This is also true of bad actors looking to empty your wallet which, due to lack of regulation, you have no recourse for. And this is one of dozens immense drawbacks to crypto.

What we need is alternate payment systems and infrastucture. Hell, id take couriered cash over crypto any day.

No, if it accepted worldwide customers it'd be a lot more than that. Visa/MasterCard debanked anything that touches the Australian prostitution industry, for instance, causing major headaches.

(Prostitution is legal in Australia.)
