I can see both sides, meaning I both would love a comment system that didn't have me open another window to comment on the chapter I want to comment about. BUT, I like the forums.

Real ones will remember when in V3 it was actually just called 'hentai' instead of 'pornographic'.

If it has exactly the same features as the forum, then sure, I guess I’d have no problem with it. But this is what was stated:
So it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be the same. At best it’ll be like an X post, and at worst like a Manga Plus comment. So yeah, I don’t have high expectations.

Exactly! What are the scanlation groups receiving in exchange for this paywall? The only reason this site exists is because of the scanlation group's work, yet they will receive nothing.
It's truly peculiar that the site is generating revenue through piracy and exploiting the efforts of others.

It's very possible and it would mean a huge downgrade. But at the same time it's a little too open for interpretation for me to say for certain. What really makes something 'social style commenting'? The placement? Aesthetics? Limited character count? Text enrichment features? One could simply argue that having comments under a manga chapter isn't very inviting to have 'deep conversations and debate', whereas a forum might.
I guess only time will tell what's going to happen.
Thanks for taking the time to explain your side of the story. I appreciate it.

Guys, they said it's only going to be open for people with the supporter/contributor role at first.
The contributor role is given to people who frequently submit valid reports and it's a temporary situation until they're sure it works. There has been 0 indication afaik that it's going to be paywalled.I think some people are just mistaking the contributor role for the supporter role.

I think you are misunderstanding that part. They are still testing the comments so currently it's for supporters only, next it'll be for contributors, and then later for the everyday user.
And even Bart has said this too:

What he said, if you want a refresher on what each role does, here's the list:

@Mangamoz just raised a hypothetical about MangaDex putting comments behind a paywall, and I said it would be hypocritical if they did that. I was just arguing based on that scenario, not saying that’s what they’re actually going to do.

Ah, I see. This is why I dislike having convos in profile posts, it gets so hard to keep up/keep track of the conversation..

@Mangamoz Wait a second. Do you read and discuss about Rent a Girlfriend? (No judgments, but it's rare to find someone who enjoys the manga
)

Me, and I assume @Mangamoz too, only go to the Rent-a-Girlfriend subreddit to laugh at people who take that dumpster fire seriously.

I'll be probably still use the new system, but I kind of don't trust it enough to go full sailor talk.
That change from "pornographic" to "mature" is a big red flag. I would probably self censor myself out of caution like in other manga comment sites.
"Golly gee, what beautiful fields of flowers doth thy maiden possess."
(That is assuming that basic chapter commenting is not paywalled)
