funny how a bunch of people whine about sniping this or sniping that. please stfu because none of these translations are legal in the first place and nobody has the right to claim any work whatsoever as their own. these little b*tch feuds are so stupid because not a single one of these translators has any rights to these properties and can be easily shut down with a single anonymous tip to the actual license holders. you'd have to be a real b*tch to do go snitching but my point still stands that these translators all need to just shut up and suck it up if someone else wants to translate something they already started on.
They're complaining about sniping probably because the new guy translating isn't exactly good and up to standards. It's kinda ruins the experience a little you know?
For people who just wants to know the bare bones content (you maybe?), it's fine. For the ones who wants immersiveness, properly grammared sentences, sensible wording and all that, I think their criticism is fine/reasonable. If they wanna raise their voice for better quality scanlation and translation, I don't really care either way. But don't insult them, they're just "passionate" about it, lol. No one can control others, so the only way is to be vocal about it.
What I want from them is more politeness when addressing the problem (including you) or else just ignore it. Ignorance is bliss, don't let it bother you too much. Appreciate what you already have.
Another point is there's already someone working on this manga, so when someone else suddenly jumps in without any prior communication, they all will just be doing the same tasks and there might be duplicates of the same chapters on the site. Or the previous translators will have to discard all their work on the current chapter because another version is already up. Not to say the one doing the faster translation may have lower quality and viewers will notice a sudden drop in quality, lowering their enjoyment while reading.
Also why doesn't the other translator go work on other mangas that are in dire need of translating? Is it because they want to translate this and not that? Then make arrangements beforehand so efforts won't go wasted! Whatever the case may be, the point is sniping is a lose-lose situation. Unless the one sniping is doing it on purpose to piss off the other group... then ¯\(ツ)/¯
