[Tutorial] Basic knowledge of QQ

Standard Account: Also known as non-association number, this type of number is free. You can use it normally without paying a monthly membership fee of 10 yuan. Fancy Number: Also known as a club number, you must pay a membership fee every month to maintain normal use. If you don't pay it to your member upon expiration, it will be reclaimed and cleared after one month. Each fancy number comes with a 'Beautiful' icon, which can be logged into the management icon haoma.qq.com. Bank Number: Non-fancy number, excluding members. The difference from fancy numbers is that you only need to pay 2QB per month to maintain your number. Unprotected Number: Refers to a number that has not yet been protected by password protection. Since the second half of 2007, password-protected numbers have been adjusted. Unprotected numbers with 5, 6, 7, and 8 digits cannot be directly protected but can only be applied for through preset protection and appeals. Broken password: Refers to password-protected numbers that have been modified by thieves. These numbers have lower security and are easily appealed, often sold cheaply on the market. First code: Refers to password-protected numbers protected by the first generation. First-generation protection is easy to understand. When modifying protection, IDs, email, and answers to questions are all essential. Second code: Refers to password-protected numbers protected by the second generation, with three new protection issues. New secure phones and password-protected cards are used together. Second-hand numbers: Strictly speaking, numbers not personally applied for are designated as second-hand numbers. Dead Protection Account: Established within the scope of first-generation protected numbers, referring to password-protected numbers forgotten by the account owner. Why say dead numbers only exist within the protection scope of the first generation, not the second? It's simple: first-generation passwords can be changed directly, second-generation passwords must be protected and secured on the phone. I think numbers that can't even change passwords are considered dead and should be called temporary numbers. Moreover, second-generation numbers usually have their protected holders recover them. In March 2008, the ban on password changes in other locations restricted rampant password theft, which was very satisfying and even pleased Q Youle, who had dead accounts. But where there is a policy, there is a countermeasure. The spread of proxy password change technology has put the March restrictions on password change on the cold side. Even if you don't know how to proxy, you can easily change passwords by contacting the account owner with a local IP address. Again: I don't advocate for dead numbers, not just for the reasons above; there's also the frenzy of fake dead accounts. Please don't be misled by the June 2008 mobile membership policy of one year and two generations of activation. The relationship between regular and premium numbers: First, neither regular or premium accounts have a lifetime ownership of private accounts; the final ownership of the number should belong to Tencent. So please don't make hardline claims that numbers are lifetime life. With the widespread popularity of membership privileges, the general number users have started accepting members unconditionally, especially the VIP level launched in 2007 — a blatant **: VIP accelerated QQ upgrades, VIP super groups of 6-500 people arrived, VIP red names ranked high, VIP diamond purchase discounts, and so on...... Therefore, the value of a standard account and a high-quality VIP premium account is basically neck and neck. In terms of collectible value, short-slot standard accounts should be the pioneer; short-slot standard accounts have the advantage of early application timing and have the gimmick of being collectible.Although the premium account is for nurturing, it also features a 'beautiful' icon on the icon, making the premium account look even more impressive. The monthly maintenance fee is equivalent to paying for a membership, making the regular account even closer to the premium account. Personally, I admire the dedication of the official staff. Since the launch of the VIP6 membership super group in 2008, the effect of the regular premium account has become even more obvious. QQ Password Protection Card: Password protection card can now be obtained for free online virtual protection cards. Physical cards are used the same way as virtual cards, and they play an effective role in protecting game accounts and virtual assets. Logging into QQ also limits login functionality. I just hope the password protection card can restrict high-risk operations in future website password systems. When logging into websites with passwords, we don't need a password protection card at all, meaning the password protection card is invalid at this point. If someone logs into QZONE.QQ.COM site and deletes your Space completely, I don't know how you'll feel. QQ Space currently does not support reversion. QQ Lifetime Membership: Currently, QQ membership only supports renewal until 2038, which is the next 30 years, so the term 'lifetime membership' is completely unrealistic and there is no such thing as a lifetime membership. The Earth has a lifespan, so how could a membership have a lifetime status? That's all scammers fooling fools. QQ Account Ban: Means the number is logged in with TC sealed. After the ban, the password protection won't be cleared by the official team, QQ information and number attributes won't be changed, and the password remains correct but you can't log into the client. The login message says "QQ cannot log in. For details, please consult official customer service." These accounts are generally banned due to: disputes over the original number, vulnerability appeals, illegal activities, rampant fraud, transaction complaints... and so on. Once banned, it's very difficult to unblock. QQ diamond farming: If you're still buying technology or cheap diamonds just to farm 7 diamonds, stop selling quickly. 99 (percent) diamond farmers are scammers. The lifetime diamonds promised by scammers are all nonsense; usually in two or three months, diamonds are all gone. The consequence of chasing small gains is letting others take advantage of you. I believe farming diamonds is directly related to account bans. Once, someone in my group was banned for life for posting false information, and that was just a matter of speaking out. Farming diamonds are renewed through platforms like ADSL to renew QQ Diamonds, which is illegal. Once reported or complained, your account could be held accountable, and the next step is likely to result in account bans. It's not worth worrying about ten thousand, but what you fear is the worst. QQ high-level accounts: A few years ago, the official QQ level was launched. Once introduced, many people desperately leveled up, striving for the sun and indulging in vanity. Later, major idle sites started mainly using proxy level registration to seek profit. To combat these platform-based platforms, the official system limited the number of days to two hours. After a few years, QQ levels became very popular in the number market. A higher level symbolizes a different status, and the higher the level, the higher the value of the number. As a result, the number trading market has also found a place for selling high-level accounts.After saying so much, I just want to give a friendly reminder of the key point: high-level accounts are indeed tempting, especially accounts with three suns. Try to avoid buying this type of second-hand account. The higher the level, the longer and more active the account's password history. This provides strong evidence for the previous owner to make an appeal. In May 2007, appeals were revised to optimize other evidence, with revisions listing auxiliary friends and historical passwords as the key points for appeals. As long as a high-level account is second-hand, if the owner or the previous user wants to tamper with your account, it's almost effortless!

QQ Group Numbers: Since its launch five years ago, the group number has also been loved by QQ users. The shortest QQ group number is six digits. QQ group transactions hold some weight on TB as well. Their value cannot be compared to QQ account numbers, but their security is 100%. QQ groups don't have appeal conditions; once successfully transferred, the recipient is the new owner. In 2007, group hijacking was very serious. Back then, the second generation was not yet widespread, and the first generation could transfer groups without needing protection answers. It wasn't until the official implementation of the 7-day mutual friend rule for transferring groups that things calmed down slightly. Talking about group numbers inevitably brings to mind same-number groups. Same-number groups mean the QQ number and the QQ group number are exactly the same. This matching between account and group also gives the numbers of same-number groups greater potential value.

QQ Preset: First-generation/dead accounts preset the second-generation protection function. The preset function has a relatively complex process. First, you need to successfully preset the account, then wait for a long period of three months, not more than six months, with the possibility of being rejected by the system during the waiting period. If rejected, the wait is wasted. Rather than presetting, it's better to appeal. Appeals take less time, and if initially rejected, manual handling can continue the appeal process. The chance of success is no lower than presetting.

QQ Appeals: Appeals generally happen to people who buy second-hand accounts. In early 2008, I mentioned in my six-digit group (now disbanded) that there is no unsafe account, only unsafe people. Still, avoid buying if you can. I have detailed the issues of appeals in previous articles, so I won't go into detail here. Just remember that second-hand accounts are never absolutely safe—they inherently carry a certain level of risk, and threats are always present.
