Ban scanlate.io and all machine scans

[XXXXXXXXXIII]

Not sure if this issue of machine scanlations has been brought up before, but given my recent experience, I strongly believe that MD, as a"scanlator friendly manga site", should deal with this issue.

There is no denying that scanlate.io is an amazing piece of technology, but given it's current state it is no where near good enough to replace human translators/typesetters. I understand that MD like to stay neutral for this type of disputes, in which case there is nothing stoping someone from uploading machine scans of your favorite manga (which btw gets propagated to every other manga site).

Banning machine scans is probably asking for too much, since a subpar machine scan is still better than nothing. So for the resolution to this issue, I would like to ask MD to allow users to upload machine scans into a different category/group/language, and allow other users to report machine scans that were improperly uploaded as human scans

Series in question: https://mangadex.org/title/36496/my-home-hero (chapter 44 and beyond) resolved



Personally I do not want to see this site infested with these crap, so please fix this.

PS: I dont know why the poll was added... Remove it if possible

Yeah, a different category would be the best for this kind of thing instead of a ban of machine translations because there are some machine translated mangas that I have enjoyed and had minor or no problems with.

I think users should be able to block unwanted scanlators. It would be a start

Strongly agree to this, but since MD staffs still keep rule 4.4., it is so EFFING HARD to get a fair judgement over the quality of a scanlation.

Plus rule 3.3.2., anonymous and/or trolls will keep clinging onto this, and general users still cannot filter the chapter out because "no group" still have a fair amount of other quality releases too. Until the "filter chapter from blocked user" is available, those who follow the series will keep getting updates like this, hella annoying in my opinion.

@Genox

You already can. Under your settings.

@ixlone not from individual user, who often uses "no group" and rule 3.3.2. as excuse.
