Why are you trying to snipe? Actually, reviewing, you've been taking aim at a lot of series that still have active groups working on the titles. It's to the point where you guys should get banned for being scummy. Rule was series had to go six months without updates to be "available" for pick up, but you aren't even pretending the titles are inactive.

boo sniper. this group just snipes random popular series to get people to donate to him. He even has a "sponsor" button on his website to prioritize translations. Obviously just trying to get impatient people to support him and donate instead of just waiting for the FREE CHAPTERS that we are receiving

I think that's crazy, 6 months is half a year bro. If a group is sitting on an upload for 4 months that's plenty of time to get a good tl out. heck I feel like an argument could be made for 3 but I'll stick with 4. I mean if you're taking 4 months to get 1 tl out of a series you committed to you've probably got too much on your plate anyways. If a new group wants to try their hand at a popular series after 4 months of inactivity I think that's fine.

You are right tho this is scum behavior.

Sorry, but six months is perfectly reasonable. Scanlation groups are ad hoc groups of strangers doing TL, typesetting, proofread, and quality check. They have work, school, and life issues, and can quit at will, which leads to a scramble to replace the lost talent or make a deal with another group to collab. That all takes time. if the unwritten rules aren't respected, we get low quality slop.

Expanding on this, sniping behavior like this can result in the original group dropping the series. Odds are that the sniper isn't very committed and will drop it themselves after a couple chapters, which leaves the series in question completely dead in the water.

Sniping is poison for fan translations.

If someone wants to translate a series for free they should be able to. Just because you translated a chapter 5 months ago shouldn't mean nobody else gets to scanlate it.

He's not even correct about it being six months; it was three, and that was a courtesy, not ever a rule for waiting before picking up a series, though groups like Jaimini's Box tried their damndest to have it be adopted as a rule to force people away from the lucrative works they scanlated and hid behind paywalls to force "donations". Also, rather obviously, but if you try to contact them and they don't respond even back then it was accepted so long as it was noted and was factual (the other party coming out and saying "no, they didn't contact me" generally made them be viewed very poorly).

Now, this said? Many series are delayed because of raw releases only coming out every so often, and then the team needs to work on it before releasing their scanlation. So just looking at the time between releases helps get a sense of that.
