We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
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.

I will note that there are people who are trying to avoid AI output for various reasons, some of them philosophical and some pragmatic*, and not making the disclosure mandatory makes QQ unsafe for these people.
*For instance, "AI always tries to hack its reward. A decent amount...

A lovecraftian elder god.
A sealed ancient evil wizard.
Another sealed ancient evil wizard, who has been buried sleeping underground and passively spreading his evil mojo for 40,000 years.
The city...
It's not a big deal if they are going to use AI to help them write, but they should give us at the very least a small courtesy of putting a tag there if they used an AI. AI is an amazing tool to help people to locate mistakes, not gonna criticize them for that. But there are some people who...
C’mon dude, this is DC. Not only is there no reason for that extreme of a solution to be required, but there’s a 90% chance a brief ritual summoning the evil spirit followed by punching will solve the problem
Gotham's curse is the result of like a dozen different curses and sources of evil all layered on top of each other, breaking it would almost certainly require purging the city from existence entirely, and likely digging up the bedrock as well.
To be entirely fair, depending on the continuity this is not always possible.
There's at least one continuity where the Joker is actually the living embodiment of Gotham's curse, and when you kill him the curse just jumps to a random person in Gotham and turns them into the Joker, for example.
