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.

  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.

  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.

    I am asking because the topic is somewhat politicized in the US, and most posters here are likely to be Americans. So it could perhaps be interpreted as a "political topic". So what exactly are the guidelines regarding it?

    For clarification, I am asking because I want to use Covid curfews and some reactions regarding them as an argument of justified restrictions on liberty, and the perils of not obeying authorities, in RWBY discussions regarding In Universe events with the same themes.

    I mean, it's okay to use those examples, but I'm 100% sure that using them would invariably devolve into arguments about politics, and that's Bad.

    So to be on the safe side, it's best to not use it, just in case.

    "Are the current political debates surrounding ____ a current political topic?"

    ...yes. Yes they are.

    I don't think the specific topic, COVID or otherwise, really matters in this case.
