• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • 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.

    Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    OK, I'm pretty sure this is getting well into Rule 8 territory now, lol.

    Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    I mean, it's 4chan, basically "what if Chaotic Neutral was a website?", of course they're gonna take the piss out of a government coming after them with bullshit legal threats and fines they can't enforce.

    Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    It's amusing, but not really true. Strictly-speaking, it just says "the US constitution does not apply to people in the UK, and since you're interacting with people in the UK, you must obey UK law with regard to those interactions". Which, in general, does make sense, otherwise companies could...

    Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Yeah, there's a decent chance the government will order a block. Those blocks aren't exactly hard to bypass, though....

    Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    I don't think it's really in doubt. The US isn't going to enforce foreign laws that go against US law. Same as how Google nominally owes Russia literally more money than there is on Earth in fines, but Russia has no means to actually collect it since Google has no Russian assets and no other...

    Suggestion: Enforce correct tagging.

    Literally nothing any of us post in here has any real "weight". Sure, a moderator might get listened to slightly more than someone else, but if they were actually seriously considering implementing your demands, they would ask the moderators anyway, if only because they're going to have to...

    Suggestion: Enforce correct tagging.

    He wasn't posting as a mod, he was posting as a normal user, hence the lack of coloured text. So, straight porn should be tagged as well, then? And yuri? And male protagonists? Or is it just the things you don't like? Like I said before, the purpose of a tag is to tell people what a story is...

    Suggestion: Enforce correct tagging.

    The problem with this is that "tags I don't want to read" is a very personal thing. Almost anything in a story could end up being something certain people don't want to read. What is more, tags are not designed to be a warning, they're designed to indicate to people that it's something they...

    Does this joke break any rules?

    I think the main issue is that the mod assumed this was Treble posting something he knew was dubious and then asking about it after the fact, rather than posting something he thought was fine and then asking the question after someone said they'd report it. Still, Lady Naga is right, it probably...

    Censorship by Payment Processors

    They were pretty clear from the beginning that it was only ever meant to be a temporary thing. And if they didn't want to host NSFW content, they would have just not hosted it in the first place. The idea that all of these different sites simultaneously decided they wanted to ban NSFW content...

    Censorship by Payment Processors

    Nah, the payment processors are just flat-out lying. Steam has been consistently opposed to censorship, as has Itch.io, and if the latter in particular actually wanted to restrict some NSFW content, it wouldn't have taken the drastic (and likely highly damaging to their brand) step of delisting...

    Question regarding the new UK law

    Yeah, even with China-level control, it's not truly enforceable, but it is more difficult over there. Yeah, the problem in general is that politicians tend not to have much technical understanding. Science policy tends to have the same issue.

    Question regarding the new UK law

    Yeah, any law where it's easier and safer for people to just bypass it than it is to actually comply with it is not a very well-written law, lol. They won't ban VPNs, though. It's unenforceable unless you go full China on the internet, and there are plenty of legitimate uses for them. Hell, I...

    Question regarding the new UK law

    Honestly, any site like this is just going to ignore the law, because it's just too small to come to the government's notice. The real problem is more well-known sites, especially relatively low-income ones (a whole bunch of AI sites have oturight blocked UK users, for example, because they...

    Potential Rule 8 Question: Regarding the Recent Anti-NSFW Content Bans...

    Wikipedia isn't blocked, and it's unlikely it will be, simply because the government knows (from past experience) how bad it would look. They did take the government to court over the laws, though.
