I uploaded Pixiv raws from this series yesterday, which had X/Pixiv links before but they stopped on MD. Woke up, got on the site to upload an SL of another series i was working on, and i see that i'm banned. I think it's probably related as i've done nothing else that could've banned me.
I asked permission from the author and they told me yes, and according to the rules if i have the permission i have the right to upload it, right?

Only scanlations (i.e. comics translated and edited into another language) and self-published original comics are allowed to be uploaded. Works with no text to translate, like artwork compilations, are not allowed. Scans of physical official releases or rips of digital official releases/webcomics from official sources, such as original releases (raws) or officially translated releases, are not allowed to be uploaded.

Permission or not. No raws allowed.

First things first I was not the mod who handled this situation. I wouldn't have done a full ban. So your ban isn't retaliation for "sniping" a series I uploaded scans for. The more scans on the site, the merrier. I'm just the mod available to give a response right now.

I told you to talk to the mods first

As HelperHand said, you need to give us a heads up before you upload raws to the site. We cannot read minds, so we wouldn't have known you had permission. Every once in a while we get people trying to upload raws to the site who definitely didn't get permission from the author. The mod who gave you your ban assumed that since we had no other information from you.

Anyways, I've unbanned you and you can try to upload the raws again if you want. However, another mod updated the chapter links for the series.

The only cases where raws are allowed are the following (rule 1.2.1):
  • Permission has been granted by the publisher and/or creator.
  • The uploader is the publisher.
  • The license has expired. (In this case the upload must go linked to the corresponding ex-licenses group of the publisher, never to a scanlation group)
  • The series is out of print.
  • The publisher is defunct.
  • The release can no longer be purchased via sources provided by the publisher.
