@zanonyn Except what the manga is saying is the same as: "we shouldn't have electricity in people's houses, because some tiny percentage of children will end up dying from it (despite our best efforts to prevent that)" Obviously that's absurd. Yes we should try to protect children, but...

@BestBoy The poll was literally about credit pages, it was NOT about user conduct. Some group sniped one of Hatigarm's manga and added an edgy credit page which said "scanlators which ask for donations are greedy". Hatigarm got upset and demanded that MangaDex ban the edgy credit page. MangaDex...

The supposed reason for this change is to make moderator's lives easier by avoiding the heated political debates, correct? But if so, then shifting those political debates from manga comments to the forums won't help, because the heated debates will still be happening (just in a different...

@Teasday Yes you did strawman. You said this: "The only way for us to not have to moderate anything is to remove comments." Contrary to what you implied, I never once suggested or implied that MangaDex should "not moderate anything". As for the discrepancy between comments and credits, the...

@Teasday Please do not strawman my arguments. That is very unkind of you. I am not against moderation (I made that *very* clear in my post). I very clearly said that I am in *favor* of having section 5.1 apply to credit pages. What I am against is having a separate standard for credit pages...

@Plykiya I have followed the entire drama since all the way back with Hatigarm (and Rapeman as well). The vast majority (65.3%) of MangaDex readers do not want harsher rules. I am aware of your position and perspective, but I vehemently and fundamentally disagree with it, both because of my...

Rule 2.6 sounds completely fair and reasonable to me. However, rule 3.2.7 seems overly broad. I'm perfectly happy for the credit pages to follow the rules of section 5.1 (I believe that 5.1 should be applied uniformly everywhere), but 3.2.7 seems to go *far* beyond that. Now there are things...

@Plykiya Being able to sort by unread first is nice, but that still means it's displaying the already read manga. I really do want the read manga to be completely hidden. I use https://mangadex.org/follows/chapters/1/1/ as a way to easily see updates to the manga I'm following. I only want to...

@Liquidxlax You're vastly underestimating how different European culture is: https://dutchreview.com/featured/sex-education-in-the-netherlands/ But even in America, if a 20 year old had sex with a 16 year old, basically nobody would care. What matters is not the absolute age, what matters is...

@Liquidxlax Nobody mentioned marriage (sex before marriage is quite common). And people do often have sex with their classmates while in school, so graduating has nothing to do with it either. In fact, in the Netherlands it's considered a problem if highschoolers *aren't* having sex, since the...

@princeofcups Age of consent in most countries (including the USA and throughout Europe) is ~16. The meme that <18 is underage is just a bullshit internet lie. 16 isn't pedophilia at all, not legally and not morally.

@Guspaz That's true, however standards move fast. As for caching, MangaDex already has a "preload this entire chapter" button. It also has a setting that will cause it to automatically preload up to 20 pages (and as you read it will keep preloading more). Sure it would be nice to have...

@Guspaz Actually, web apps are a lot more advanced than you think: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NetworkInformation/type It's also possible to pre-cache things, you could even use a service worker to have seamless perfect caching running in the background, even if the...

Timing this with the Steam Summer Sale means nobody will have any money, so therefore no pies will be bought. Very sneaky!

@s0che Just FYI, sniping isn't against the rules. Anybody can scanlate any manga they want. And your assumption that "if they didn't scanlate this one they could scanlate another one instead" is false, because people aren't going to scanlate what *you* want, just because you want them to.

@SGR When I visit KissManga, literally the first screen that pops up says that it's checking my browser for DDoS protection (by CloudFlare). So it's quite obvious that other manga sites do indeed have a big problem with DDoS, which doesn't surprise me because *every* popular website has issues...

@Bainhardt I don't think it's fair to call MangaDex staff cowardly because they don't follow your personal moral opinions. According to MangaDex's rules, Facepalm did nothing wrong. So are you suggesting that MangaDex should change the rules? What sort of changes should be made? How can we be...

@Entryhazard Facepalm said that asking for money is a scam because scanlating costs no money, and therefore asking for donations is wrong. That is clearly not an attack, it is clearly an expression of a belief / opinion (that donations are wrong). It is not attacking a specific scanlator...

@Holo @Zephyrus I just want to say thank you. I completely agree with your stance. I've seen how censoring "for the greater good" or to "avoid hurting people's feelings" causes so many problems on other platforms, and I really don't want MangaDex going down that route. So I'm really happy to...

@Tarage I don't really want to derail this thread, but I do want to point out that Batoto had disagreements with scanlators all the fucking time. Many many many scanlators were upset with how Batoto handled things, so don't pretend like Batoto was unicorns and rainbows and MangaDex is gargoyles...
