Coming from the use of “snipe” to mean steal, in the context of scanlations “snipe” is used to refer to rival scanlations of a series begun well after an earlier effort has produced scanlations, and while that effort may be presumed still to be underway.

Thankies

Look, we are ranting on a group that would not even read the rants we typed here. What concerns me is the one who uploaded the group's scan in the first place. It is an MD staff.
I wanna know what is his/staff thoughts on the group's apparently less than savoury reputation and the alleged accusations on them.

MangaDex deliberately doesn't have any rule again rival scanlations; MangaDex is a great clearinghouse of scanlations. Electromaster may have no opinion, or may have decided that he is uploading inferior scanlations; but he's probably just working towards what he sees as the mission of MangaDex. He's been a remarkable workhorse.

Good to know that.

WRONG!

They won't read it because they can't read English.

haha, look at their group description
"We focus in better quality of the projects we working on them."
the second sentence makes absolutely no sense which makes it even more so ironic

What is "sniping" means in scanlation community?

"sniping" in the context of the internet typically refers to the practice of quickly making a low-effort post to get in before people making more quality or on-topic posts. back in the day when forums were the premier way of interacting socially online people would "snipe" the top post on a page in a thread to make themselves prominent in a discussion without actually contributing anything to it. imagine someone using a sniper rifle to tag a target at long range while everyone else is running on foot to physically reach it. in terms of scanlating specifically, it's the practice of quickly regurgitating low-effort, usually machine translated scanlations with minimal (or zero) QC in order to be the first to release for a chapter and get as many eyeballs looking at their ads or watermarks as possible. since the targets of sniping were generally popular manga to maximize ad revenue, they generally already had other groups working to make higher quality scanlations. over time usage of the term expanded to include scanlations that weren't being made quickly to get in before the slower, quality scanlations, so long as the intention was to garner attention or ad revenue off of a work that already had another, more established scanlator.
