entry edit permission revoked + chapter deletion

[StopwatchTL]

My permission to edit series entries seems to have been revoked, possibly because I was editing two entries multiple times in a short time frame (because some of the changes I made always got reverted / changed shortly after).

Spoiler: Entry Edit Context

Around two days ago I created a new entry for a series that already had one, which was done in order to separate the pre-serialization chapters from the serialized ones.
The old one was created and uploaded on two years ago when the series was just a Twitter-Manga.
(Link to old entry and the new entry.)

In the midst of this I had to edit both chapters simultaneously and multiple times, especially since the changes I did to the titles and the "Read or Buy" sections were always reverted or changed a few minutes later (which I didn't realize at the time since I thought I simply messed up when editing). The synopses weren't affected by this.
(For context, the series has an official English title that is all lowercase with a period at the end, which is what I was changing the first title of the entries to. The series has no official translation in any language. Proof of English title: BookWalker Link, cf. p. 5)

And the chapters I posted on one of those entries always end up deleted (but not on the other).

Spoiler: Chapter Deletion Context

I posted a chapter titled "Chapter Notice" (numbered as ch. 0) on the old entry in order to explain what was happening for those waiting for a continuation. That chapter was deleted ~15min after the fact. I tried uploading it again thinking a bug had occurred, but that one was deleted as well.
(Link to the comments from upload attempt #1 and upload attempt #2)
The chapters on the new entry weren't affected.

I never received a ban message or anything similar, so I don't know what's going on.

Two things that are separate but also linked happened and led to the loss of your permissions:

1. You showed a clear disregard for our title creation guidelines and our platform's categorization.
2. You uploaded fake chapters that do not exist twice.

Both of these are well documented and we have proof it was you through your own admission.

Spoiler: Sauce??

I am willing to restore your upload permissions given that you understand such chapters are not permissible. They can be added to existing chapters as extraneous pages, but are not to be uploaded as a separate chapter that does not exist.

First of all, thanks for the reply.
I wasn't aware of the "fake chapter" clause and wasn't purposely trying to circumvent it. I'm sorry about that and I won't let it happen again.

And regarding the title creation guidelines, since the old entry is pre-serialization and technically separate from the "twitter side stories" I was trying to turn it into, am I allowed to leave that entry as "pre-serialization" and create a third one for the twitter stuff?

That would probably be better

 

[StopwatchTL]

All right, then I'll have to edit that entry back and change its cover.
Still, thanks for taking the time.

Would you also be willing invoke my entry edit permission?
I just realized I forgot to address that point previously, so similar to the other rule-break, I'm sorry about that and will make sure to not do anything of that sort again.
I thought the mentioned upload permission referred to the entry edit.

Additionally, I've reread the guidelines just in case, but I can't find any mention about fake chapters in the current version. I remember there being a mention about it (and about fake translations) some time ago.

I personally Don't Feel Comfortable™ doing that, but I'll check with the mod responsible for that one.

They already responded as of me writing this and said "Only if we see that they no longer break the style guidelines for an unspecified period of time"

Additionally, I've reread the guidelines just in case, but I can't find any mention about fake chapters in the current version.

That's fair, it's still supposed to a punishment after all.
But since I don't know how long that'll last, would it be possible to at least change the synopsis of the pre-serialization back to its original text?

Spoiler: original synopsis

Twitter manga following two maids working in the maid cafe Southern Cross - Hijiri, the mysterious and flirtatious manager; and Suu, an innocent hard-working young woman.

And thanks for linking to it. For a second I thought I misremembered reading about that rule (even if I do remember it being worded differently).

Anyway, thank you for getting all this sorted out, appreciate it.
