• The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
  • A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
  • Staff is working to deal with the problem of synonymous tags. See here for more information and to suggest tag mergers.
  • 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.

"Following orders to the letter won't shield you from the repercussions of poor judgment, Rei-chan," he told her, sternly but not unkindly.

The girl's smile slipped at that. "So simply following the rules is no shield against retaliation? How uncivilized. And who gets to decide if I exercise 'poor judgement' exactly?"

"That should be obvious, shouldn't it?" replied Gai, filing away her peculiar response for later. "Your superiors do."

He watched her face go stony at that, and in that moment Gai got another glimpse into the character of his latest student. Problems with authority, now is it? Interesting. She was hardly the only one with that disposition, and depending how deep it went it could cause… problems.

Something to keep an eye on in the future.

It only recently hit me how to encapsulate what about this exchange is so fucking terrible. There's no institutional authority here. It's all a matter of personal political power, and that's fucking terrible.
