The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.
Every time I see your PFP, I start by going "man, that's a nice picture" and then spiral immediately down to "WTF is with her right arm being so short, it ruins the whole thing." :V
The SFW section is actually the more specialized one here, and the one that gets less traffic. Even if you just want your readers to be able to discuss NSFW things or post NSFW artwork and such, you typically want to post it in NSFW. Because the divide is for the whole thread, not just your...
>Man quotes my first sentence out of context, then snobbishly repeats half of each of my own points back to me as if it's a rebuttal.
Seriously, the only difference is that you were flavoring them with a thinly veiled standard set of Rule 7 salt. If this is the way things are gonna go, it might...
Just to make sure that there's nobody else getting confused, the part in the parentheses is very important there for how the rule settled.

It was rather silly, I agree. Not quite the level of "I'll sabotage the people I disagree with by claiming to actually hold a strawman argument as my position!" levels of silly, because I can sadly believe that someone would actually go where they did unironically. But silly enough that it does...
It's only been a mess, rather than a problematic mess, so there's been no real reason to shut it down yet. If you want it closed, there's always the option of lighting the thread on fire and throwing yourself upon the flames. Wouldn't recommend it, but it exists.
The duplicate translations thing, it should be noted, was not "the reason this happened." It was the trigger that got the rest of the staff to finally pay attention after a long while of a few of us regularly bringing it up, and it being ignored or put off for the umpteenth time. Which still...
I'm pretty certain you've gotten very heavily rabbit-holed into arguing something that you likely don't even believe, at this point. When the thread started, you were making sound and reasonable arguments. Not ones I agreed with, but they were at least a sane position to be taking. Now you're...
Context. He's talking to people who are saying that it should be less protective, and pointing out that it's barely enough to sort of do the job as it is. It's good in the sense that it shouldn't be removed, not in the sense that it should go unchanged.

"I thought you liked the guy, but if you insist..." :V
Technically there's a grand and tyrannical 9 rules. But yeah, they pretty much boil down to those three if you're not one of the people who forced us to get more detailed with 'em.
I always...
QQ does not operate on Free Speech principles. There's certain topics, such as current politics, that we just flatly do not allow. Any argument made based on Free Speech and what constitutes censorship is kind of pointless here. While we do allow a lot of things that many other forums don't, and...
