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.

    The Cruft
    In 2020 due to unfortunate circumstances I believed I had lost access to my email account. I wasn't too attached to my online presence so I was okay re-establishing myself. Fortunately, a short while later, I learned it was a false alarm.
    Come 2021, I decided to try my hand at writing. While I never continued to use this handle on QQ, I did on other sites, so it's what I went with as I tried to unify my online writing presence. My understanding of the best thing to do in this scenario is to just deal with the slight hiccup in names and move on.

    The Meat
    Since I'm not eager for a Rule 4 violation, my main question is: Is it really okay to start writing on my main account despite having also created this account?
    My "Hail Mary" question is: Despite having 1 post (since removed) already in my "Main Account", Would it be okay to request permission to use this account instead?

    Thank you for your time.

    One account only. if you want to change your name or email on an ccount, you can ask admins, but we do not want people to have two accounts.

    Thank You!
    So just to clarify is it okay to start posting on my main account, despite this account existing? Or are there specific procedures I'm sidestepping?

    We can fuse both accounts together so you'll have only one. Just gotta tell us which one you want to keep and the other will be fused with it.

    Big Thanks! I'd prefer this account to be primary if possible. I appreciate the help.

    *Check*

    Well, the Vlad account has no post, so I guess I'll just ban it and call it a day.
