• 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.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    God speed and God bless, @LurkingInTheDeceit . Still, about the parent/child tag system. If the current system allows the linking of some tags to "canonized" bracket it couldn't be that difficult to elaborate the system to allow one-direction link for hierarchic reference. Is there any chance...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Only it wasn't French language. It wasn't French people. It was Normann, Aquitaine, Brittany, Gascon, what-have-you. The linguistical convergence I've mentioned earlier was exactly the shakedown process of those very different languages and dialects of western-germanic family into coherent whole...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Again with the "spirit of plagiarism", huh? Reposting* someone else fanfiction w/o permission is not welcomed because it's generally a dick move. Less so then actual plagiarism but still. There are extenuating circumstances and edge cases of preservation and such that make it kinda OK, but it's...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    Nope, that's the thing. Despite sharing common logo-/ideographic script they all are linguistically distinct languages that are only called dialects 'cause The Party said so. National unity go br-r-r-r-r. If anything the shared non-phonetics-based script halted the linguistical convergence in...

    Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

    OK, after reading the announcement and the discussion (a mistake in hindsight), here's my opinion that no-one asked and no-one cares about but I'm gonna post it anyway: This seems as excessive as slaaneshi cult. Weren't there already a procedure in place to remove copyrighted shit if rightful...

    Erratic Alerts & Emails

    I highly doubt it. There's no way something as general as "filter a particular type of specifically marked content in forum search" can be claimed as IP, and there is usually more than one way to implement a feature. Or edit a blatantly stolen code just enough to be legally distinctive. All...

    Erratic Alerts & Emails

    I've recently found out that I've missed on a couple of story updates because of similar issue. Only even more erratic, quotes/replies are going just fine while OP threadmark alerts are coming in once in a blue moon. As in: one OP threadmark alert, then none whatsoever for next few chapters, so...
