Expanding unavailable chapters

[Tscheddov]

Sorry for the title, didnt know how to describe the idea better.

RIght now we have available chapters and unavailable chapters on the site. All of the unavailable chapters are the ones from the DMCA. If a group or uploader removes chapters, these entries disappear entirely as if they never existed. That can be pretty confusing sometimes.
I think it would be cool if the chapters removed from groups or uploaders would be displayed as unavailable chapters as well, just like those DMCA'd chapters. (Corrections/updated versions or stuff that was removed because it was an automated TL excluded)

Further should those chapters then get a tag to identify the reason of removal like "DMCA" and "removed by group/uploader"

I think this would be nice and it helps to preserve the history

Can we also have a dmca tag, so that people like myself can know before we click on titles that we won't be able to read?

Feels like every week I check a manga and find some or all of the chapters nuked. Whether the upload group is deleted my MD or themselves you're left with nothing. At least leave us with proof it existed and what was said about it instead of hollowing the site out more.

I'm used to it. They nuked even the Watamote comments from below 230.

Better yet, they make a bot account that tells which were nuked!

thats another point: when a group removes the chapter the connection to the comments in the forum is lost.
please consider handling chapters deleted by users/ groups the same as those chapters that are unavailable due to DMCA

title. this thing right here:

only shows up in manga pages where the copyright holder has taken down the uploaded chapters. i want this feature to be available on all removed chapters, regardless of copyright takedowns
