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.
Yeah, but my point was that comparing someone who exists today to a political radical is still comparing them to a political radical and thus a political insult. Like, if I compared (off the top of my head) Gamerlord to Mao Zedong for supporting something related to housing, it doesn't really...
Uh huh. You realize that very little of that discord has anything to do with the sietch, right? Like, I think I maybe have ten posts on there directly related to the sietch in the past two months. And, like, sure, I complained a bit, but primarily because I was frustrated what with you and yours...
I mean, this isn't just about Sietch, and like, legit I don't even really care about Sietch that much one way or the other: I think its a dumb site, sure, but I don't reserve a place in my brain for hating it for the same reason I don't spend time being angry at youtube comments: no real point...
???
I'm...not really that salty? Frustrated sure, but I'm not really angry. Like, if I was salty, I would have pulled a repeat of what I did to Megaolix awhile back, not make a post explaining my gripes.
Not really: arbitrary enforcement of the rules is inherently unfair, and unfairness...
This is missing my point: you can't meaningfully divorce rants from the subject of politics. All QQ's attempt has done has produced a situation where people dance around the subject while the staff unevenly enforce their own rules.
Right. Might as well take the plunge and explain why QQ's moderation is, at best, questionable, and their insistence on abiding by rule 8 detrimental at best. I'm probably gonna get hit by the mods due to the inherent impossibility of criticizing rule 8 without falling afoul of it , but eh...
Terry Pratchett may be deceased, but he isn't gone. He's just writing for an higher class crowd, in a place where alzheimers isn't a thing.
Au Revoir, Sir Pratchett, and rest in peace.
