Have a section for manga pages for groups recruiting for certain roles

[JJTheWeeb]

I will mention I don't think this is a bad idea, it's just that I don't think it'll be usefull enough to warant the work needed. What I will say is that if something like this can be implimented in the rumored v5, then great. here's my opinion on your response:

-tolling: sure they can dm on discord or smt, but that takes more effort than just going on all series and going to the recruitment tab and then doing the application process (whatever it may be) for every group to fill their inboxes. that's why i used the word: low-effort. I do agree that it won't be big issue, but as this thread has shown, there are people who do this spam to annoy people. (this also brings into question how groups who work on multiple series apply on multiple pages, i guess a tab for groups who worked on the series, but then dropped projects and all that).

-forgetting tab: a timer would work, and depending on how it's done, yea a group can probaby close it when they find someone. I will mention that someone said

> would also need to actively make chapters
Of course you have to actively release chapters. If you release 1 chapter per year I don't think any one would like to join this group.

which i think is a important reminder cause you'd work for groups where you read many of their series and so that brings into question if they have to apply on multiple serie's links and all that. Again, all group dependant.

-accessibility: I said what I said because of how I get see motivation, the people who put in the extra effort (in this case direct contact where future contact would be vs. no external work a sign that the first is gonna give more quality than the latter), so I guess fair enough since I was affected by personal bias. I do think credit pages are enough personally

-extra step: I mean, yea i wasn't suggesting to do group work here either, just that it all leads to the same place in the end (recruitment tab vs. direct contact) and feel that too many options is a bad thing, so once again, personal bias here.
Aside: visibility, if the groups properly asks for what they need (like series specific or non series specific), which is often, then it should be obvious enough, if they aren't... then i think there's misorganisation going on

tl:dr suggestion isn't bad, it's just not something I consider worthwhile while the whole site is supposedly being reworked for v5.

Awfully disrespectful to say we're trolling just because you failed to initially articulate your suggestion to the point all your rebuttals boiled down to the same excuse.

As far as I'm aware there aren't any tools for automated moderation right now. If there are, they aren't used much at all.

I'm not too keen on adding a whole other section that would need to be moderated. Maybe they can handle it, but it seems we're already running into time zones where no mods are on.

Finally, I think this is the type of suggestion that should wait until after v5. Your problems might already have a solution in the works via easier forum navigation.

for sure it was wrong of me to assume that people would understand my proposal without pictures. the unfortunate reality i guess is that without something visual people's imagination run amok.

to elaborate on calling out the "trolls" as it seems i may have offended the non-trolls: if you weren't one of those people whose point basically boiled down to "lazy is bad", i wasn't talking about you. quite frankly such "criticisms" is one of the least constructive thing anyone can make.

i don't think it's necessary to delve too deep into details of how the feature should work - if there's a will, there's a way. all concerns - valid or not - i'm sure would be discussed by the mangadex developers themselves. it really makes little sense to play pretend dev here. the general idea is present, and so i'll continue to reiterate: if they think this feature would be good + want to do it, they can mark it as planned, otherwise reject.

@MooPoint
That's the reason why i ask you about the solution, some people would be think, that this is a "bad" idea......

True, this an proposal to make something, we must have something called like a "vision" first atleast. (And then dev can make the "prototype" (if this is planned though)).

I agree with you
