  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.

    The first post is mod approve locked to battle the vile forces of SPAM-BOT prime.

    Hello, this is ye olde friendly mod reminder.

    Since you're new on the site please be aware that QQ does have a no current day politics thing. And gender politics does count for such.

    Posting stories where stuff like politics happen because they're part of a story and not a soapbox platform to expound on politics from, is fine... but discussions of current day politics isn't.


    You can check out the rules here - https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/rules.1/

    ENOUGH. We told you before to not bring up RL gender poltics here.

    We gave enough friendly reminders. We'll start distributing warnings from now on if you still can't follow Rule 8.

    Okay, so just before I go to bed for work I get warnings about attempted doxxing.
    Given things that have happened in the past couple days I have come to a decision.


    Discussion on the topic of gender, the labeling, politics, or otherwise there of is hereby to be put to an IMMEDIATE Halt.
    Discussion on the the personal details, real, theorized, or fictional, of Mr Zoat, his name, his contact information, or even his favorite color is FORBIDDEN.


    Mods will be reviewing this thread to determine if doxxing was attempted, if so who was responsible, and what punishments, if any, will be meted out.
    If you have posted ANYTHING that can be reasonably considered doxxing attempts DELETE THEM IMMEDIATELY.


    For now, I will leave the thread open, if you see any posts after this that violate these rules please report them. If you see any previous posts that appear to be doxxing attempts also report them to help mods locate them.

    - Good Night
    Warning no longer relevant after further review

    It appears, after some investigation, that I had misunderstood the situation due to a lack of context. I would like to issue an apology to AsTheGlassMelts and @pvd for this. I will not make excuses for this as it is my fault for not doing proper research into the topic before reacting. A thanks to Megaolix for both being able to do so and reverting my warnings and edits.

    The previous warning can, for the most part be ignored. While, of course, Doxxing is not something allowed, there is no need to enforce such strong restrictions in this thread. On discussions of gender, as it was in reaction to a misunderstanding the warning is also to be taken back, though a reminder to try and keep it on topic to the story itself. Such discussion does toe the line of Rule 8 but so long as things remain civil there won't be a need for mod intervention for ontopic discussions.

    I see Generic_Generica missed one. Don't worry, you won't be left out.


    And RE: Discussing how oppressive Rule 8 is/isn't/whatever, yeah feel free to talk about it.... perhaps in a different thread, though, it seems to be veering away from relevance to the story. If you don't want to go into Rants, feel free to make one in general or the Announcements + Rules board, though the Admins have already said their piece in the past.

    Thanks and have a nice day.

    Keep your commentary to the context of the story only; bringing real-world politics into this will not end well for you.

    This is well beyond the bounds of the kind of conduct we allow here on QQ. If you can't talk to other people in a thread nicely then I will very nicely make you leave.

    I'm going to step in here for a moment.
    Stating that further discussion of a topic would be in violation of the rules, implicitly using it as a shield for your argument, is not in keeping with rule 8's objective of avoiding thread derails and heated arguments over politics. The rules are no more a weapon to wield in this manner than threats of reporting.

    If you must address a topic, address it. If addressing a topic properly would unavoidably spill over into prohibited territory, then don't bring it up.
