Yeah, sure, but we can take it. It's not even like she ramped up with her original trajectory after getting excoriated by every generation of MangaDex user for not knowing where she was.

https://mangadex.org/title/2f5d24f0-106b-4c8f-abc9-5c344fb839de/musume-no-shinshitsu?tab=chapters This series is tagged 'loli' even tho the main female mc is literally a college student but it's been a while since i read from the beginnning so idk if it's b/c it includes flashbacks or if it's just a mislabel (maybe it's future stuff tho)
(or if it's only for the fact that she's flat on the cover art but even irl adults are flat, there was even an asian influencer/video essayist on YouTube that literally got a boob job seemingly and even then from the thumbnails it's not esp noticeable cause she's still fairly skinny petite looking)

Mod makes announcement that a group of titles are illegal and that they removed them once it was "brought to their attention."
Try to "bring to their attention" that there are more titles that clearly falls under the category of what they literally just announced to every one as being illegal. Gets banned.
How is reporting titles that clearly violate the terms of service (according to the interpretation they just announced) abusing the report function? Are you seriously saying you don't see the contradiction here?

Okay?
I'm not complaining I got banned, I already had my foot out the door.
I was only reporting manga with "children" having sex, which they would remove when brought to their attention.

-Someone said that CSA rates in Japan are low
-You say that's not true if you include the homeless
-You admit that it may only be 1 person
-You're implying that a low Japan CSA rate + 1 more incident of abuse = a high rate of CSA in Japan
-You're retarded and/or trolling

is the right answer. You should just ignore this user.
When something smells fishy I look at the post history of a user. That one joined 15/2(Sunday) and first post appeared on this very thread on Monday. If I can make a guess, it's an alt account for someone who perhaps posted earlier in this thread (or elsewhere?) but didn't like the reaction to their main or had some other reason to hide it.

I don't even disagree with this, but it's a major goalpost shift from your initial argument. And I fail to see how it's relevant to the discussion in this thread in the first place.
Ok time for a presumption of almost reasonableness on the part of MangaDex. Sorry. But here is the thought. Maybe just maybe what has happened is that yes MagaDex has had to deal with some "legal-nexus" that demanded the removal of some things that they had noticed. That they, MD didn't wholesale remove things people thought they would because if they haven't been ask,they basically don't want to censor the work but were in a position of having to deal with it or die on loliporn hill. As our world gets larger and more people notice us this bound to happen. No most people I know who are not part of our community can't tell the difference between what we call "lolis" and children, they can't. What's more they don't care that they are drawings, they really don't,and we are perverts for believing anything else. Believe me I have had to defend my reading more than once. As bad as trying to take my PHD enabled Anthropologist parents out for Sushi, Good Lord Raw fish? Again I am not defending MangaDex or whatever it now thinks it is "NamiManga"? We the users have been ignored and ill treated and several salad bowls of weasel words do not serve. What pray tell dose "legal-nexus" mean? What and who? Like I said 75 pages ago we the community need to be brought into the fold so that we may understand. That folks is the minimum allowed. I suspect that "they" who presume that they are in fact MangaDex, staff,managers,whomever don't care or see what the upset is about. We certainly are being treated as though if they wait long enough the peasants will just go back to reading and leave them alone. The bomb I said I would probably ride down, doesn't mean I will shut up.

You were once mod, you were downgraded to support?

?? I'm a contributor, power uploader, and group member, and used to be a supporter (monetary and MD@H), but I've never been a mod.

Breaking that wall up into paragraphs would help a lot.
But I agree 100% with this. Knowing that MD was forced to do something doesn't mean that keeping us in the dark and deliberately ignoring our concerns is ok. The hyprocrisy in both the response and in how they're reacting to the users doesn't help either.
lol..I am often at mercy of editors not as good as this one. Thank you will do next time.

Judging by the name, it's either a troll account or @EtherealNeko is also pretty bad at choosing sockpuppet account names.

Okay if the scanlators don't have the copyright to their own translation, then the authors or publishers do, then power uploaders clearly don't, so by mangadex's own rules, they, who were never involved at any point whatsoever clearly have no right uploading anything.

This is how I've always understood the situation. Their legal team received specific titles that violated the clause. They removed them immediately to avoid legal action. Titles were removed completely because their covers were part of the problem. Comparing it to the DMCA purge is accurate as titles were removed with no notice that time, as well. Only difference is the removal of pages because of the covers.
Banning users for making mass reports is the staff preventing you from cutting off your nose just to spite your face (but it's also rule breaking behavior). You want the content here, they want the content here (staff expressed disappointment on discord). They're just not willing to go to jail for you (literally from staff on discord "The immediate concern is not going to jail").
Take it from someone who's been here since the beginning. Users are making a mountain out of a mole hill here. This is smaller than the Jaimini's Box tantrum. This is smaller than the hacked site. This is smaller than MD being down for a year+. This is smaller than the DMCA purge.
Users upload chapters of their own volition. Staff are free to work independently with user groups. That may be why you see staff upload chapters to MD. Telling staff that they can't scanlate anymore just because they volunteered to moderate comment sections would be stupid.
Good that you're here, what happened to the English chapters for Kumika no Mikaku? Your group scanlated and uploaded those chapters. Some folks were asking about it a page or two ago.
