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.
[X] Compromise.
Don't love the idea of conscription, even with the added clause, if only because my heart can't take the stress of having another potential bomb near us if things were to somehow go incredibly wrong.
Funnily enough, I get nearly the exact opposite. I also have email alerts off, but only seem to get notifications due to folks chatting in the thread, not new threadmarks or posts from Bird. I mostly figure out there's a new update when I peek in at the thread and see the discussion moved pages...
Seeing it all in one place mostly unbroken really impresses upon you just how many words 920,000 truly is. Maybe we'll even get a cute and sweet family reunion omake at the big 1M with all of our wonderful family and Sons :V.
