    This is very valid, and we're trying to be careful about it. We're crafting a system to prevent bots from commenting, and we will continue to work on it, ideally integrating it with the forum system to reduce betting spam. For actual moderation, we will take it one step at a time and mold/tweak...

    It was not; we received a letter regarding the content, and we removed the content named in the letter because there could be legal repercussions otherwise. If we had removed content connected to issues with payment providers, anything categorised as mature would be gone by now. The original...

    Currently, I think there will be a button in the comment count context menu to open/create the forum thread, and we will monitor that. And yes, subscriptions were paused because we didn't meet payment compliance regarding icons and business information.

    Unlikely. We're evaluating how to implement it without confusing users, but it does segregate/split discussions and increase moderation requirements. There's a trial period where both systems are functional. We will use this to see what's happening and what the usage is; maybe there is something...

    Thank you for the write-up. There's a lot to unpack there, and I will do my best to address your feedback. You’re right that "people hate change" is an oversimplification. I don't want to hide behind it, but I also don't want to offer thoughts that then fuel arguments rather than understanding...

    I think if numbers 2 and 3 were possible without incredible pain, the comments would already be directly visible and interactable on the platform, and we wouldn't be looking to deploy the new system.

    Regarding Library filtering: understood. I will see what can be done on this and whether we can support it with our current resources. From my understanding, filtering can be "expensive" on CPU/RAM, but it sounds useful, especially for users with large libraries tracking many (hundreds of)...

    Platform posts and comments are 3,000 to my knowledge, so 5x larger than forums if I got it right. I will confirm.

    I think the character limit is 3,000 characters? We can increase it if it's constantly becoming an issue for users.

    To clarify the position of 'social and comments': Social posts and post comments will be expanded to group 2. When we are confident, we can fight the betting/adult spam on posts and post comments; we will expand it to group 3. Then, and only then, will we switch title comments and chapter...

    Nothing will stop any user from doing that, so you can continue to create them, yes. The title and chapter UI links will open the new system, though, so discussion will probably dry out as a result. No one can tell the future, so let's see what happens.

    MangaDex Development Update - March 2026

    The forums aren't going away; we're just planning to move title and chapter commenting to the platform instead. Things will be tested and adjusted properly over time to stop needless drama. At the beginning, there might be some teething issues, but we plan to continue adjusting rather than a...
