Swiping, huh? How shitty of you.

 

[BrightSideOfTheSun]

This is a known sniping MTL group, they translate just a few chapters to get ahead of the original group and then stop completely until the original group either catches up or quits, not to mention the watermarking and the site advertising, do not entertain this trash.

They've been doing this for many titles like Uchi ni Kaeru and Kyou Kara.

 

[Ironclad]

Thanks just what this series needed, a bunch of watermarks!

 

[IotaCS]

Nice, another group for my block list. Get fucked @Rithar

 

[Thebel]

Sniping again? Fuck you.

 

[MeePotato]

fuck off

EDIT
My statement below is not true, only Aggregator watermarks are reportable apparently.
END OF EDIT

Don't forget, watermarks are a reportable offense! Report the chapter(s) to MD so they can clean house!

 

[justtoread123]

Oh, another one of those groups... When will it ever end

 

[dalbole]

This is a misinterpretation of the rules:

3.2.5 Aggregator watermarks are not allowed. Watermarks from raw provider sites should be avoided when possible, but are not explicitly banned.

Aggregator watermarks are not allowed. Watermarks originating from the scan group are completely acceptable.

Please do not report these chapters. They will not be accepted and you are liable to have your reporting rights revoked.
I understand you may be unhappy with this group, but this is not the way to go about it.

Noted on that, please ignore the reports I've already sent.

Can I ask what, if anything, we can do about these guys then?

 

[Zhangar]

You can go to the group's profile and block them, at which point you'll no longer see their uploads.

If what they're doing is rude but still within the TOS, then the proper solution is to just blacklist them.

I would encourage you to block the group in your main site settings

Spoiler: What that looks like

I would also encourage you to reach out to the other group and encourage them not to discontinue the series if you find them preferable. Rithar can ignore all the negative feedback they want. Praise and encouragement will go a lot farther and spread a lot more positivity

Very disapponting, but understandable.

My 2c for what it's worth, and I get that MangaDex does not own any of these titles in any capacity and doesn't have the right to dictate who/what is and isn't allowed, but I feel that the abundance of groups like Rithar is a very worrying and harmful development, and something really should/needs to be done about it.

We're always open to hear your suggestions! If you have any suggestions on how we mods can better deal with this, feel free to find an existing or start a new thread on our suggestions sub-forum

Honestly why would you think this? Groups have been putting water marks on their releases for almost 20 years because of scummy behavior from aggregators and tazmo. They don't do it as much now these days as they used to, but you'd have to remove like all the scanlations from 2005 to 2015 or something from this site if water marks weren't allowed.

The biggest issue right now is that a lot of these new groups recently have coin systems or patreons that hide the newest chapters behind paywalls. Haven't checked if Rithar has that, but it wouldn't surprise me if they have. Not sure if blacklisting them is the right thing to do, but the groups and chapters should have a warning that future chapters are behind pay walls or something to dissuade from this model.

Yes, they do. Honestly that shit should be a bannable offence.
