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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.

    Luckily, this problem is easily dealt with using a large pot, several pounds of potatoes, carrots, and onion.

    I'm not saying it's a stewpot, but... XD

    This forum was created to be as free as possible, and that won't change.

    I have no intention of making this forum a 'safe place' or whatever. Basic civility is a guarantee, but it won't go beyond that. Read Rule 1 again. It doesn't forbid insults or abuse, it merely says to keep them to a minimum and not go overboard with it. You're not going to get in trouble for calling someone stupid, unless you make a campaign out of it.

    Of course they do. If you can't be aggressive, then passive-aggression is far harder to stamp out but often just as effective.

    *yawns*

    Why are we worried about this, again? I haven't seen any of the "we are cracking down on X"/"free speech requires censorship" rhetoric here. When I see some, I'll worry. Until then, probably best to leave well-enough alone. "Two types of fascists: fascists and anti-fascists", etc.

    Oh you can do that on QQ too...

    In the Rants boards. Away from everyone else.


    The only true Rule of QQ is be excellent to each other, all else falls into place.

    *looks at Rants*

    I see many QQers there though? :p


    But yeah. "Be nice/polite" is a good rule of thumb.

    Subforum of (SFW) General. Visible only to members, like the NSFW boards. The civility rule is relaxed, although people seem to rant about outsiders* more than each other.

    *Assuming LordSquishy doesn't count as a QQer, since he doesn't post here anymore.

    To my understanding, his fake Hollewanderer account was burned outright. But he's known to read Rants (he VMs shared members about it on SV every now and then), so it's presumed he has a lurker sockpuppet.

    Squishy breaking rules is nothing new. Wouldn't say that breaking the rules to lurk would make him a QQer though.

    Which is why I assumed he wasn't one. I just felt compelled to note the technicality.
