• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • 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.

Question about thread inactivity

I had some major health flare ups happen that kept me away from this site for way longer than I'd like. Looking at some of my current threads from months ago, I've noticed that it says that any new posts after a certain point of inactivity can and will be treated as spam. With that in mind, should I start brand new threads since they might be autoflagged and get me in trouble, or am I good?
 
There's no autoflag, if you're creator of the thread you generally can just start posting.
 
So, the rule in question is Rule 7 (forum rules can be found here: https://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/rules.1/ ). First, the thread necromancy rule only applies to posts in the Creative Writing and Quest subforums (and their NSFW counterparts). Now it says that any new post must be a significant contribution to the thread. The typical way we interpret that is that it has to be new content, not just rehashing or reacting to the old stuff.

As the thread creator, you get a TON more leeway as far as what counts or not. Unless it is something egregious like just posting "bump" or similar to push an inactive thread back to the top, pretty much anything you post will pass muster.

Welcome back and glad you are feeling better!

He's referring to the warning when posting in old threads, which is new with XF2 (and has been set at a month by QQ admins). You have to tick a box saying "I am aware that replying to this thread may be considered spam, but I still want to make a reply" for your post to go through.
