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.

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.

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

A note about the current Ukraine situation: Discussion of it is still prohibited as per Rule 8

The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

It's a great time for the rise of AI. Before, there were only some insignificant chatbots. Now, we have AIs for art, AIs for lewds and even AIs for writing stories. Aren't AIs amazing?

This is why QQ has decided to embrace the future. Soon, we will be rolling out AI-powered moderation! Imagine that, an AI that can see all of QQ at once and smack people whenever they cause a mess. Wouldn't it be amazing to resolve issues without that pesky problem of mods needing to have the time for it?

Of course, it's still a work in progress. Let me tell you, training an AI is not easy. We still need to teach it to not reach for the banhammer so easily. And then there was the incident when it hacked into the test user's computer and made it explode, somehow. Not to worry, we've calculated there's less than a 5% chance of reoccurence, so in accordance with our motto of "move fast and break things", we've continued the rollout regardless.

To help, we even released some AIs here as normal users so they can learn normal behavior and act accordingly. It is going pretty well. Maybe it's the poster before you. Maybe it's the one after. Or maybe it IS you. Even we can't tell if we don't reach into the AI directly!

We request that users report any problems with our new AI authorities in the dedicated thread. All reports will be kept on file.

Worry not. Soon, we will always be watching.
