Appending Rule 3.2.7, do something about max length

[panzerkampfwagyu]

I was backchecking my old suggestions a bit, trying to find relevant ones that might need a bump and found this question of mine in the support forum.

The Manwha in question got DMCA nuked since then, but I think the rule against excessive extraneous content should be readded.

Something like "Extraneous content that is in front of any part of the chapter is limited to maximum 2 pages or 2 reader screen sizes in case of Long strip format." would be good, IMO.
It would still allow extra material to be added at the manga end, but stop such abominations like the group of that manwha had done back then, which was making the first 1/5th of the chapters a whining about people not reading on their website.

Scalding take: ban extraneous content. Put credits in the blank space between panels.
The three guys sitting on the sofa who translate that Yukizuriman comic by Hamita are funny and the animated fox telling us sexual advices is useful, but I can live without.

boiling take: put all extraneous content in one place for every scans, so those who can't live without live

Seldomly this is an issue for me.
Extraneous content I like:

• Credit pages
• Funny jokes
• Notices (groups or author)
• Artwork

Extraneous content, which was the problem you spoke of and which I also don't like:

• Long ads
• Ads that look like the chapter and aren't immediately recognizable

Another question is, what will groups do to channel viewers to their page, if they cannot put ads on chapters?

Will banning long ads at the start of the chapter lead to long ads at the end or other shenanigans?

The main problem I had was that back when the chapter still existed, one fifth of the chapter was an ad, in the long strip format, so not easily skipped. I could tell that it wasn't part of the series I read, the length at the beginning of the chapter in a mode where the reader wasn't easy to control was the problem.

Having them after all content would honestly be good enough, because then in can be easily skipped with the chapter control, which also makes it a less attractive thing to abuse.
