Welcome to QSS


This QSS Guide has everything in it to learn about the workings of the forum. Please consider giving it a read, for those that are new to the forum, have never interacted on a forum, or, for general reference.

The QSS Toolkit has many helpful links to most problems encountered while trying to watch videos, download videos, upload videos, burn DVD's and many for keeping your computer running efficiently. If you have a problem that isn't covered in the QSS Toolkit or you aren't really sure how to implement one of the fixes be sure and make a post in the Help forum where one of our friendly tech savvy members can answer it or at least point you in the right direction.

There should be NO:
1) Racism/sexism or threats to hurt/attack/abuse another member through forum post or by pm's - This is taken extremely seriously and will not be tolerated.
2) Impersonating another member or a member of QSS staff
3) Spamming
4) Advertising of your site -unless it's a small link in your sig
5) Over the top swearing

How to report spam and anything else requiring attention from the Mod/Admin Team:




Posting on QSS

1) Link to the source of the file, such as StageVu, Zshare, Veoh, Megavideo etc... not to another site full of links - (site owners - this is not a place to promote your site - you are allowed to put a link to your site in your sig only)

2) Read the title of the forum you are in - movies DOES NOT mean movie request - 2007 DOES NOT mean a film released in 1987 - make a choice and choose the correct forum.

3) Post individual items unless from a series - eg movie collections are a nice idea ONLY if they are continued to be managed! - only regular users / mods will be allowed these privileges, otherwise make clear concise individual postings only please.

4) Not sure if what you are posting is on the site already? - use the search function. Did not find a duplicate post via search? - make sure to use a wild card search - eg saw* << include the asterisk with the search.

5) Only link to streaming content - DO NOT link to torrents/filesharing/rapidshare etc.

6) DO NOT request or post links to pornography, shock, gore or snuff as we aim to be a family friendly site. We reserve the right to remove any content which we deem falls into one of those categories.

7) Duplicate posts with the same links will be archived, duplicate posts with different links will be merged and posts in the wrong forum will be moved to the correct forum (e.g. a movie from 1988 posted in the New Release forum will be moved to the forum that best fits its genre).

8) If easily offended please read IMDb.com reviews about the content you are about to watch.

For added convenience our members and staff have indexed the forums. Please check the forum index before posting. If the movie/TV show is already posted and you have new links to it please post them to the existing thread.

A great guide to getting along on the forums



Step 1:
Flame Wars

By-and-large, the trouble with The Internet, and forums in particular, is that everyone gets to be anonymous. That essentially gives them free reign to be as snooty and argumentative as they like.
A 'troll' posts deliberately controversial or annoying messages for the specific purpose of getting a rise out of people and initiating a hate-filled and overly-argumentative thread. The appropriate course of action is simply not to respond. Don't feed the troll.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2:
Godwin's Law

Godwin's Law states that "as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
What that means in real terms is that sooner or later someone involved in a forum argument will be likened to a Nazi, or displaying Hitler-like tendencies. Please note that if you're the one invoking Godwin's Law and likening someone to a Nazi, you've immediately lost the argument because it's such a lame-a** low blow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3:
Fanboys

Approximately 99.9% of all online forums are based around videogames. Sadly, there are several members of the videogame community who have such an overly-fanatical devotion to their particular console that they're somehow incapable of admitting any other system might have good features too. They're best ignored, because 'Fanboys' are basically a special subset of 'Troll', and as such are all Nazis and/ or Hitler.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4:
Teenagers

Sadly, teenagers are allowed on The Internet too. They have funny ways of spelling and don't understand that proper grownups don't want to put up with their pubescent attempts at 'humour'. There's nothing you can do about Teenagers on The Internet, you'll just have to learn to circumnavigate them.
Not all teenagers are evil, mind. Just most of them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5:
Post Count

Every time you post, your post count goes up by one. Some people seem to think that the higher the post count, the more worthy and valuable they are to society at large. Frankly, the exact opposite seems to be the case; posting just to up your count is insanely annoying, so make sure all your messages add to a discussion in some way. If you're replying in a thread, make sure what you're writing is funny, interesting or funny and interesting. "yeh i agree lol" is not, in any way, shape or form, a valid reply, ever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6:
Respect the Admins

It's their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You're a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie's house and curling one out in her tea-pot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 7:
DON'T USE ALL CAPS IN YOUR POST

EVER. 'Shouting' through the written word is pointless and annoying, clearly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 8:
Lurk Before Posting

Don't just jump in to the forums spouting off reams and reams your amazing knowledge of the intricacies of World of Warcraft. In Binary.
Lurk around a bit first and read some threads to see whether or not that's even remotely the sort of thing people there would be interested in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 9:
Keep On Topic

If a thread's all about how amazing a new 2D Sonic the Hedgehog game would be, don't derail it and start talking about something else entirely, like Chun Li's thighs. Make a new thread if you absolutely must.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 10:
Picture Etiquette

Don't post massive pictures that are wider than most peoples' screens. What's more, don't post massive pictures of filthy grotty porn or anything in case people are at work. Not even the most ardent heterosexual likes looking at boobies when sat near their boss. It's enough to put them off for life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 11:
NSFW

What's more, make sure you mark any risqué links as Not Safe For Work, just in case, and make sure doing so is in keeping with the forum's tone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 12:
Signatures

...should be small and tasteful. Massive graphics plugging something you're selling are a right royal no-no. Text is very much preferable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 13:
Avatars

Your profile pic is how people picture you, so choose something good-looking, funny or interesting. Pretty much anything goes, just make sure it isn't ugly or annoying and fits with the tone of the forum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 14:
Gravedigging

Old threads are old for a reason, and that reason is that noone's interested in discussing that anymore. Unless you've got an outrageously good reason to do so, leave dead threads to Rest in Peace.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 15:
Drama

Used properly, The Internet can be a tool for good. If used for overblown, melodramatic weepy Emo nonsense, it's ruined and needs to be scrubbed clean. Learn to relax and take everything in your stride. Noone's on The Internet to get all stressed and angsty, we're all just here for a good time. So leave all your haughty drivel at the door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 16:
Smilies

If used sparingly a smiley can emphasise a point: sarcasm comes across extremely poorly in forums - almost dangerously so. A quick winky will sort that. Reams and reams of extravagant animated smileys performing all manner of wacky acts are annoying, and are the sort of thing your mum would do, were she able to use a computer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 17:
Read the FAQ and Forum Rules

Because they'll tell you how the community there likes people to act. They're there for a reason.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
It turns out there's even more annoying stuff people do that we simply couldn't squeeze into this post so be prepared to at times be annoyed - just breathe and remember it's the internet folks. wink.gif


By and large, just remember to be excellent to each other. Be all civil and pleasant. Keep your tongue firmly in your cheek and get a nice thick skin.
