Rule regarding credits on actual manga pages

[anon763]

I've noticed a few cases of "credit pages" that, rather than being separate pages, were added to the bottom of the last page of the manga. That makes it very annoying to read, regardless of whether you fit to width or height.
Example from Vanilla Jingai x Jingai Yuri Anthology :

Could we get a rule regarding this practice, like there is against watermarking? Either add a couple unobtrusive credit lines in the margins, or add a separate page, but it shouldn't impair the actual reading of the manga.

Its only a problem if youre using Double Page. And doesnt violate any of the sites rules so... this would get denied.

@anon763 This would go a bit too far into policing scanlation for us, so probably not. Best bet is to ask the specific group who's doing it and tell them to stop

That's really, really weird. They put their credit page in the middle of the chapter and just added it onto a page. Seems like they do this for a lot of their releases. It's certainly obnoxious. I'd say if it really bothers you ask them to move it to the end of their chapters as a separate page. If they refuse I guess your only recourse is to block their group.

that's somewhat uncommon practice/effort to make the credit page doesn't disappear after aggregator site crawl their release.
removing page is easy, cropping images take a little bit more effort.
some shoujo manga scanlator also do the same kind by replacing ads and summary panel which sometimes appears on the first page of each chapter.
I won't deny that some of the content are obnoxious though. I mean, many of credit pages are obnoxious even the one which is on separate page.

It's super fucking annoying and I've complained about it a few times but we can't really put a rule in place for it
