I was more direct with @Kanami-chan since I have a feeling we've talked plenty before. My memory isn't the greatest though and I don't know if I was presuming too much, but I didn't feel like I needed to watch my words as carefully as with someone I don't immediately recognize. And, uh, I'm a...

@The_Fapper This seems to me to be a VERY liberal usage of the word censorship, to the point of completely watering down the entire meaning of the word. This makes it censorship to not host ads, stolen scanlations, official rips or even images that have nothing to do with comics. Not sure what...

That's why I've been asking people to take our past conduct into account when trying to predict the future instead of jumping to conclusions. I understand that there's really nothing more I can say here except look at our past to see if you can trust us, and judge the moderation after any...

It would help if people weren't constantly using absolutist language to say that any kind of control is unreasonable censorship. There's been no nuance to this conversation at all. And that's the issue: it's extremely rare that we've been ripping out credits pages based on what we "like". To...

@Kanami-chan Just imagine

Try telling us something other than we shouldn't be allowed to decide what content we host. "And absolutely, the aggregator has no right whatsoever to determine what is or isn't in a finished scanlation, nor what parts they think should or shouldn't be in it. That is solely the job of the...

I don't think it's politics per se, certainly not when the intent is just to attack people without consequence. It seems to me the political themes are just a vehicle for trolling, and I'm not sure how this isn't obvious to everyone. It was implemented because of the opposition we were getting...

@Kanami-chan It's not about disagreeing with it or not, I'm just surprised that you undermined your entire point with the very next sentence. "It's unreasonable to control speech, except when it's speech I don't like"

@Kanami-chan Hang on, how do you go from "it's unreasonable to control what scanlators can/can't say in their afterwords" to immediately promoting banning certain types of afterwords

...It's not anywhere near the same. Moderating comments and dealing with reports associated with them specifically is much easier compared to dealing with actual manga chapters and their comments, not to mention the general fallout. Seemingly no matter what we do, we're got people screaming in...

A blessed zozo to you too young lady

Then you're in effect disagreeing with what you're not actually having to first hand deal with since you're not staff. I can't really make this more clear. Not sure what you're referring to with the chapter comment pages not being "up to standard". I mean, we could close them. That would help...

Our rules obviously aren't set in stone, but until someone has a better idea that amounts to something more substantive than "just allow everything, people should have the tools already" and/or addresses our actual problem with something other than "just get more mods (and replace them when they...

Believe me, it would be lovely if we could just ignore the whole issue. We've been trying hard doing that for a long time. It's just not working so great anymore. From the way you're talking, I do have to wonder where you would draw the line for the extra content. Why is/isn't removing ads, for...

People are complete free to post the exact same politics meme images they've been doing so far, just in the appropriate subforum instead of the chapter where the result is invariably a shitshow that would be avoidable.

To clarify about this, almost all of the lack of interest stems from the current website being really inflexible to work with, which is why we're rewriting the whole thing in the first place. rdn would know better since this is his domain, but I believe our planned systems should be able to...

@JumboWheat01 I've been kind of worried about color blindness affecting some functions of the site, but I think you're the first one to actually report something. We'll be changing the whole list thing anyway, so this issue specifically might not be relevant in the future, depending on how we...

@SushiBentou I'm not seeing anything wrong. Sure it wasn't just you switching the page direction setting?

This is what the rule used to be: 3.2.7 Adding extra page(s) to chapters for the purpose of crediting scanlators or translation notes is generally OK. Extra pages which contain content that could be construed as offensive may be removed by staff. As you can see, it's nearly identical except...

Ultimately we can't really do much more than ask for people to pass judgment on our moderating decisions and rule interpretations after we've actually done them rather than imagining doomsday scenarios based on what the rules would theoretically allow us to do. I would ask people to take our...
