Welcome to the Questionable Questing Forum.
This board was created as a place for people to post their quests without having to worry overly much about policing themselves.
The rules that we have put into action are only here to ensure that the forum can keep runningand people can enjoy themselves without issuewe're not interested in being a police force.
If we think you're in violation of any of these rules you will receive a warningand for repeat offenders (or offenders of the obviously malicious kind) a temporary or permanent ban depending on the severity of your case. We are capable of taking context into account when dealing with rule breakersand any mod decision can be appealed.
While we promise to respect the rights of those posting herewe also expect you to act in a fairly mature manner and be civil. As such there is a code of conduct.

Rules

Rules
1: Play nice with the other members on the forums.
- Do not make personal attacks on other forum members.
- Constructive criticism is not only allowedbut encouraged.
- Kink-shaming is a violation of this rule. Stating a preference is finestating a dislike for a kink is finebut making judgements against those that like a kink is NOT fine.
- Swearing and profanity are allowedbut againcommon sense appliesdo not be overly abusive.
- This rule is somewhat relaxed in the rants sectionbut make sure that anything said in thereSTAYS in there.
- See the bottom of this page for a clarification as to what exactly is and is not allowed. Unless the content is posted in a clearly malicious mannerviolation of this rule will result in nothing but the content being moved to the NSFW section. (This means quests can start out in the Normal sectionand be moved to the NSFW section if votes lead them in that direction.)
- Signatures and Avatars are to be kept work safe.
- Any links in the SFW section to NSFW content must be clearly marked as NSFW.
- Linking in QQ SFW to QQ NSFW does not require a warning if the page only has text. If there are NSFW pictures on the pagethe link must be marked NSFW.
- Any embedded images or videos in the SFW section must not be NSFW as detailed below.
- Text in the SFW section must not be NSFW as detailed below.
- Posting blatantly illegal content will result in immediate banning and deletion of the content. (Illegal is classified as content Illegal to own or view in the United Statesespecially the unambiguous example of RL child porn)
- Art that is attempting to be realistic in depiction (such as 3D models or photorealistic generated art) is treated as if it were real.
- Due to the varied state laws on the subjectRL bestiality falls under illegal content. Text is still permitted.
- Do not link to pirated content.
- Linking to manga reader sites and image hosting sites like Danbooruimguretc does not count.
- Manga readers that give a download optionsuch as ExHentaimay be mentioned along with the title of a workbut not linked to.
- Linking download repositories like DropboxMegaSyncetc DOES count as linking to pirated content.
- Doxxingthe posting of personal information about a user without their consentis grounds for immediate permaban.
- Plagiarism is a major ethical violation and will receive a heavy infraction when it doesn't just result in a permaban.
- Translations of others' worksuch as translating foreign-language works into Englishis forbidden without explicit consent from the original author in a publicly-viewable way (such as a reply on social media or the original work's location giving the okay).
- Sock-puppetingor account duping of any kind is grounds for a permaban.
- This includes creating new accounts for the purpose of abandoning an old one.
- Multiple accounts for the purpose of disassociating NSFW works from a username known across multiple sites is also not permitted.
- We realize off-topic tangents are part of any creative boardand so they are tolerated here for the most part. Please be mindfulhoweverif the topic creator or a mod asks you to get back on topic.
- We have decided not to honor account deletion requests for two reasons. Oneit's not healthy for the database to have accounts disappearing from it. Twowe just don't want to set that precedent.
- If you absolutely must remove yourself from the foruma year long tempban can be requested. It will not be lifted until it expires naturallyhowever. Be sure of your request.
- Threads that have been dormant for 1 month are considered dead threads. IF you make a post to a dead threadit must be a significant contribution; story updatenew information on current eventsnew activity for games elsewhereetc. Asking if a story or quest is dead or will be continued does not count as contributing.
- The one-month timeframe is deliberately generous. Reviving a thread just before the deadline is still frowned upon.
- This rule applies to quest and story threads. Index and topical threads are not subject to a necro rule.
- This rule applies to real life current politics. At the time of this rule is writtenthis means things like Trumpfeminism vs men's rightsSJWsetc.
- It does NOT apply to things such as stories featuring past events like WW2Vietnamnobilityroyaltyetc. If it's something that happened 20+ years agoit's most likely fair game.
- Probably more than any other rulethe practice of asking if you're unsure is very wise. You won't get punished for asking.
- Using slurs to refer to individual RL people is a Rule 1 violationwhether they are a QQ poster or not.
- Using them to refer to RL groups of people is also forbidden on the grounds that at least one of our users will be a part of just about any groupmaking it a Rule 1 violation.
- Using them in storiesquestsand games are allowed.
- Using them in any other context not already covered is allowedbut QQ staff will not be responsible for the social repercussions from other posters. If you show yourself to be a crude and unpleasant personwe're not going to make people be your friend.
- What is and is not a slur will be decided by QQ staffnot the posters. If you feel something should be a slur and we do not: tough.
=========================================================
NSFW materials
- Images or videos containing Nipples and/or Aureolagenitals (Penisvaginaother)Sexual intercourse.
- Images or videos containing graphic violence and gore.
- Written Fiction that contains graphic descriptions of Gore or sex. (Saying 'They fucked like rabbits' and using suggestive imagery is okay to post in the SFW sectionsspelling out all mechanical details goes in the NSFW section.)
- Gore that depicts real life naked children or infants is NOT permittedas it falls too close to the line of child porn to be safe. Gore that depicts real life naked adults IS permitted.
- Images or videos that contain partially clothed women or fondling.
- Images containing a degree of violenceso long as it is not gratuitous or overly graphic.
- Written scenes that heavily imply any kind of sexual conduct (even if the sexual conduct itself would be illegal)so long as it remains at implicationand does not cross over into explicit explanation/description.
