Okay if the scanlators don't have the copyright to their own translation, then the authors or publishers do, then power uploaders clearly don't, so by mangadex's own rules, they, who were never involved at any point whatsoever clearly have no right uploading anything.
This is how I've always understood the situation. Their legal team received specific titles that violated the clause. They removed them immediately to avoid legal action. Titles were removed completely because their covers were part of the problem. Comparing it to the DMCA purge is accurate as titles were removed with no notice that time, as well. Only difference is the removal of pages because of the covers.
Users upload chapters of their own volition. Staff are free to work independently with user groups. That may be why you see staff upload chapters to MD. Telling staff that they can't scanlate anymore just because they volunteered to moderate comment sections would be stupid.
Ah, Jaimini's Box, now that was a huge drama clusterfuck.
Cookies can tell where they go to as cookies can also tell MD how much and how frequent are the prawns we eat here.
Considering how an admin called those opposing the takedowns pedophiles, I can't agree that the staff as a whole also want the content here. The problem we have now is that an admin who thinks some of the content here is reprehensible now has just cause to delete it. If this clause in the rules was only to cover their own ass from legal issues then the response should have been much different. Then we could respect that this is an unfortunate situation and not try to "help." But as it stands, no one should be banned for aiding this admin.
Only explanations I can think of would be that at the beginning of the story she's still in her last year of high school (she does seem to mature and age throughout the chapters), the nightmares the father has are of her when she's younger, the coworker's "wall of art" could reasonably have loli in it, or it's just a mis-tagged entry (of which there are many).
This is really the only actual problem in my eyes. The rest of the bullet points are built on user presumptions spawned from that lack of transparency. I can reason away the initial lack of transparency as being due to sheer urgency, but it's a poor decision to try and provide all the requested transparency at once in one big "Wall O' Text." It just takes too long. Though, I think they are too understaffed to provide frequent updates, as well. Bit of a Catch-22.
Playing reset-the-clock, are we? 🤔
Do you have any idea how long i have been searching for the name of this anime , the only thing i remembered was something about a dude looking like the detective from psycho pass
Well, at first it was revolting to me when I was watching it in college, a 37 yo old man having kissed by a 16 yo girl in a drug trance. It was barfing.
i knew literally nothing about the plot ... i roughly remember a commercial on TV back when OG bleach was airing around the soul society/arrancar arc
Unfortunately, considering the admins are quick to take Neko's side
I can certainly see how this can be read as a pedo accusation, but I personally think it was meant more as "If you want the stuff, go to sites that specialize in it.", expressed in an aggressive and very stupid way.
to be fair, a lot of her past comments, especially controversial ones, were on NamiComi titles
the why has a pretty simple answer, who is above neko? probably only holo and he seems to be on her side anyway
titles are still being removed but also people are being banned for trying to help with that by reporting titles?
