Hello, I created a mangadex account to share my >Akuyaku no Goreisoku no Dounika Shitai Nichijou< (started with chapter 10) translations from bato. I can't use discord for various reasons, and I wanted to know, if it's possible to still upload on mangadex without the usage of discord? (considering it has a forum system, I thought I don't need a third-party-app on top of it.)

It has been more than 2 days and I figured I've been marked as spam at this point. I asked an affiliated to add me to their translation group, but it seems i couldn't be added either (still only visible as 1 member, which is said affiliate)?

I appreciate nearly any help (aside discord, since I don't have it) possible with my problem. ;-;

This should go to the support subforum, this one is for discussing matters that affect the scanlator community. To answer your question, no, you only need to create an account, read the guidelines and upload chapters in the appropiated format. The first upload takes an average of two days to be approved, nothing go to spam as every chapter is checked manually.
Regarding your upload, is it your own scanlation or someone's else? If it's yours, you can later claim a group with that upload. Otherwise, if the scanlation is not yours, make sure it is not an official translation (and doesn't infringe any guidelines) and upload it as you found it, adding the name of the group who made said scanlation (if it doesn't exist yet, create a group).

It has been more than 2 days, after I created my group, tried to claim it and upload chapters with it. I figured it couldn't get approved bc i don't have my own website (aside said bato account) I've been marked as spam at this point. I asked an affiliated to add me to their translation group instead due to me not having my own scan website. however it seems i couldn't be added either (still only visible as 1 member, which is said affiliate)?

They are my translations and my bato name is Pic(ture-)Hor(izon).

Yes, Discord is mainly to get the staff's attention or to talk to other users, it's not required for uploading content to the main site.

If you look at the forums' member list you can see what mods/admins are currently online and shoot them a DM with a link to this post.

Hello, on the 30th of August I uploaded a german (since I'm native german) translation of Akuyaku no Goreisoku no Dou ni ka Shitai Nichijou amd have been waiting since. I can't find the information of having to wait for 2 days anymore (aside in the forums, not on the mains) either. Do I have to wait for a week to get my translation approved again?

plus i uploaded an online accessible Pokémon manga (which has a physical copy too tho). Should I reupload it bc the description has an error (or possibly bad english xD)? If the pokémon fails bc it's not really a "typical" manga, feel free to delete the title (heads up about titles not working out would be nice too).

What language did you translate the Pokemon manga into?

Do not create a duplicate entry, we can just edit the title. What is the name of the work?

sorry for the late reply. source is twitter:
Kanji: 選べないよ、イーブイ
Romanized: Erabenaiyo, Eievui
English Translation: I Can't Choose, Eevee

edit: I can't remember if I have already uploaded a chapter to it or just the title/manga page. But I think, I've only created the manga site for now. ^^;

edit 2: (heads up about titles not working out would be nice too)
a heads up about it being successfully created would be better. I searched via "Eievui" and couldn't find anything. Turns out the english and japanese were tossled around. 🙃
