Title: https://mangadex.org/title/4df219da-4b5f-48ea-9fac-23641ae8a584?order=asc

A couple years ago, I had reviewed the image quality of the existing English chapters, and figured out some of the images added by the former uploader were pre-compressed by a certain social media platform. I had reuploaded the affected ones in the original resolution, but the previous uploader's images stayed.

I wonder if the duplicate ones can be removed by the MangaDex staffs. Both translations are from the same source, so it doesn't sound sensible to keep both versions around.

Chapters in question:
  1. 20
  2. 41 - 47
  3. 49 - 51
  4. 53 - 70
  5. 72

The best way to go about this is usually using the main site's report feature.
If you want to bulk report chapters like this, report the title instead of individual chapters. In addition to the chapter number, you could ideally also mention the chapter id.

However, since the chapters don't belong to a group, your uploads are technically credited incorrectly (you're only supposed to upload chapters as no group chapters if they're your own). Therefore, it might be preferable to provide image links for the individual chapters to allow mods to edit the existing ones.
Alternatively, they can also move yours to the original(?) uploader, so you'll have to see what's their preferred course of action...

As a reminder:

3.3 Do not report any releases for any translation or visual quality issues. These reports will be ignored and your ability to make reports may be restricted.

Well, (afaik) the intention with this is to avoid any reports for subjective issues (e.g. this tl/cleaning/rd/etc sucks) and/or reports that can't be resolved (as in, low quality/missing pages w/o providing a fix in the report). I don't think there's anything wrong with actionable chapter edit reports, but in any case, they're not exactly high priority...

Emphasis on
There is no qualifier in the rule that says it's ok to report someone else's chapters for visual issues if you have a fix. It's simply, "Don't do it."

OP uploaded their version with higher quality pages and that's probably as far as they should take it. It's up to the original uploader/group to fix the pages in their chapters.
