i don't know if there were any edits made in between we both saw the chapter though since it's only been half an hour..
I don't think so, no.
As far as i can tell it's not breaking any of those rules, while comicride has it as a single chapter.. the raws on rawkuma are actually split and does look legit.. else it wouldn't have that title/chapter title intro added on the "second" (content) page.. so i don't know if comicride had it split and then combined it later.. archive.org doesn't seem to have good capture to check that, though an earlier one did show what looks to be chapter 1 being split also before then being combined
The raws are not split on the pages linked under the "read or buy" section, so I thought to mention that the rule is violated as it is with links in that section that an admin determines if the rule has been broken, as far as I am aware at least. Ultimately, having been enlightened about rawkuma makes me think that this is not a hill I'd like to die on.
3.2.7, As for extraneous content.. the only thing that i can think of this being about is the "Read on this site" put between the panels? literally nothing else that isn't at the start/end and even then.. personally that's not much different from TL notes and the similar..
3.2.5.. Aggregator Watermarks.. where..? or is that tied to the previous one? i guess i can see how.. except that rule only applies to aggregator watermarks so wouldn't apply in this case even if it were to be ruled as a watermark
Placing an ad to your own website into the chapter instead of at the start and the end is most definitely a violation of 3.2.7 (extraneous content), I myself am not too sure of that also violating 3.2.5 (watermarks) but I mentioned to the admin in my report that I believe they should investigate that anyways.
I see that ad as being different from TL notes as TL notes generally make reading the work easier as there is a limit on how well one can convey the deeper meaning to a conversation with translation alone, but yes, technically that is extraneous content as well, I just don't believe one should report it. There are a lot of notes however that are just trolling on those are not only in violation of the rules regarding extraneous content but there is also a code of conduct that apply. TL notes and that ad alike have to adhere to the codes of conduct, so if the note is made for the purpose of advertising, trolling, or other malicious purposes (3.2.7.1 -> 4.5) then I think one should report that, as it takes us to report it for MD to even know that the rules are broken. (though no one reports TL notes as they are not in bold red text.
)
Hell, we could even report the 1st post advertising the discord the scanlator made on this thread as that's bannable under 4.5, one should not underestimate how strict MD actually is, it is just appearing lean as it requires us to report about something that MD will even consider enforcing the rules.
TL;DR: it's up the admins on how the rules are to be correctly interpreted and up to us to make said admins aware that there is a high chance of a rule being violated. I see a high chance that the rules are broken and I consequently asked for reports to be made so that MD knows of this case and makes their judgment as they believe the rules to be. Do make your own research guys, making reports can get your report privileges restricted, if MD thinks you are trolling or being malicious, beyond just wanting to protect the site.
