1. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. 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.

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

    Alright, that's enough of the kits issue. Stick to ongoing events, please.

    Edit: I'll add to that that conspiration theories too. So don't come in here claiming to have the 'truth' about everything.

    Here's what I consider to be the final word on this matter:

    Yes, black humour is a valid coping mechanism. You're welcome to indulge in it privately, or amongst groups of like-minded friends. However, sharing it publicly is inadvisable because not everyone will be able to appreciate any humour that is to be found in the situation. This is an ongoing issue that is affecting people. While you might be able to find entertainment in it there are likely those browsing this thread who have lost or are currently losing loved ones.

    I won't speak for elsewhere on the site, but do not post Corona-chan in this thread. Likewise, seriously reconsider any black jokes you may be thinking of posting here.

    Peddling of conspiracy theories is not welcome in this thread. We've already ejected one crackpot for doomerism, I'm happy to kick out people doing the opposite.

    Based on prior behaviour, I am upgrading ATP's threadban to one month. Let it be said for the final time:

    No. Conspiracy. Theories.

    Random fearmongering such as he posted with zero substantiation will be taken as such. The next offender will be permanently removed from this thread. There will be no more warnings.

    I was going to say some things but, frankly, Aleh said it better than I could.

    Instead I shall simply descend to deal out my usual punishment.

    TrAiT0r, by posting this pathetic and idiotic tripe you have successfully earned yourself the disdain of all of the people posting here because of the personal suffering and loss inflicted upon them by Covid; suffering that was magnified by the unfounded ideas you are espousing.

    In doing so you have also earned yourself a permanent vacation from this thread. It is clear you have no interest in arguing in good faith and, as far as I can tell, simply posted here to stir shit. That kind of behaviour is unacceptable.
