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.

  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.

    Just checked and everything was unchecked. I do not set threads I post on as Watched and I should not receive emails when someone post in. Yet I discovered my spam box was filled with alert messages about new posts in Watched threads. What the hell?

    I just checked and this is not the case with me.

    I had to check because I only check me email maybe once a month or so so I wouldn't have noticed.

    I thought posting in a thread causes it to become watched?

    Sometimes, click the 'More Options' button and you can change that option.

    What's the date on those emails? Cause back when we switched over to Xenforo, it autowatched a bunch of a threads for people.

    Well, found the function to unwatch everything, as well as something to stop email notifications. Hopefully, that's the end of my problem.

    Where is the section to turn off email notifications? On most XenForo styles its simple but either I keep missing it or its MIA.

    Very annoying getting emails I don't want :/

    Under 'Manage Watched Threads' choose to disable email notification. If you don't select any watched threads, you can disable it for all watched threads in one go.
