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.

  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.

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

Replying in a Thread without watching it first causes email alerts

    I've checked my settings multiple times, but whenever I reply to a thread here, I get an email when someone else replies. So I have to unwatch and watch again if I don't want those.

    Despite identical settings, this is only an issue here and not on SB or SV. Is it a problem on my end or is it an unexpected interaction of plug-ins that I have to live with?

    This is a per-user preference, set under your "Preferences" menu. (There should be a checkbox with "Watch threads automatically if I reply", then another underneath with "...and receive e-mail notifications". It's the second you want to uncheck.)

    I'm not sure if you've looked at this already and been unable to set it, or what. I went in through the admin interface and found that your auto-watch was set to "with e-mail"; I set it to "without e-mail" just to see if that worked. Note here if the problem continues.
