We have not reached that point yet.

We did come up with a solution that doesn't involve policing scanlation.

Now, even if the title is in a user's follows list, they are warned that there is a gap like so:

This will take a lot of the sting out of releases that are posted far ahead of what the average reader expects to see in their follows updates.

To quote from the most recent announcement thread:

The reader has had a feature to warn the user when there is a content gap between the chapter they've selected and the previous chapter. Previously, this warning did not trigger if the chapter was opened directly, but the reader has now been updated to do so. This means that if a group happens to upload a chapter much further than the previous scanlation group, it will help avoid accidentally spoiling the chapter for the user who may not remember where they are in the series. Note that this requires the reader settings option called "Warn about chapter gaps" to be enabled, so you might want to check if it is, though it should be on by default.

Also refer to this post: https://mangadex.org/thread/171010/3/#post_1094093

We are very much against the idea of us policing scanlation. Staff believe that it is not our place to do so with the exception of certain situations. We try to give users a wide variety of tools to avoid this sort of situation. So long as someone puts an effort into translating and it's not super obvious that the release is a troll, we operate under the assumption that the release is legitimate.

Now personally, and I want to stress the *personal* part, I believe that what this uploader is doing is a complete dick move. It's clearly done to troll readers and groups. It looks pretty obvious to me when you look at his upload history. He moves on once the entertainment value is gone.

My advice to you, if you and others feel strongly about this situation, is to create a thread in the suggestion forum about expanding our current rules or releasing a new rule to deal with this situation. The louder you are about it, the more likely you will be to get an official response.

 

[Tarage]

Yes yes, the solution that requires the least amount of work and accountability on your part.

 

[deltarayedge]

create a thread in the suggestion forum about expanding our current rules

[Tarage]

@Zephyrus Have we reached that point yet? Or are you going to continue to do nothing and watch Rome burn. Prove me right.

If I'm not being clear enough, hiding behind shit rules doesn't make your rules less shit. Fix your rules, or accept that you are shit.

 

[Afiaki]

These translations are proper legit though?
That group-block feature sounds like a good solution for this wildfire, but don't ever ban this guy. Chapter numbers and gaps aside, there are no troll translations here. I enjoy his work.
As Holo said, if you read past the spoiler warnings, well, you accepted the spoiler. Has no one got any patience to just wait for the next chronological release?

Sniper Super Sonic Speed Scanlation.
Jokes aside people just need to learn to read the notices, but I still don't think it's cool to just snipe the projects of others, while you are not doing anything wrong it is still uncool dude but you do you I guess.

:intense_thonking:

 

[Koneko_Nyaa]

This group frustrates me...

Just picking up stuff from a random chapter in the middle and leaving a huge gap is not cool.

At least you admit to being shitty.

I guess I'll just have to keep ignoring these releases. I just wish the weren't spamming my follows list.

 

[Thiron]

I can understand doing whatever you want with dead series...

but you're also actually destroying the chance of other groups picking up, and what's worse doing it active series

 

[deltarayedge]

dont bother talking to this troll, they thrives off it so just ignore all trolls

mods already rejected an attempt to ban his scans, tho he is commentbanned for trolling, for what that is worth.

just gotta wait till the block group gets implemented, nothing else can be done really, some ppl already made dupe threads in suggestion forum, but dont expect much of that.

in the meantime, enjoy wasting time double checking/memorising the uploader name in ur follows list

 

[w4tchdoge]

@deltarayedge its been implemented now
therefore
bye bye SSSSS scans!

Spoiler

 

[Abedeus]

Bye bye, hope you starve from lack of attention and wither away.

 

[l3avemdead]

blocked, bye bye dummy

 

[KawaiiMajinken]

Time to fuck off.

 

[EnRyuu_surf]

Hate no one.

 

[Lilliwyt]

And nothing of value is lost. You know that nobody will have said anything if you were nicer and do the chapters in order instead of rolling a dice about which chapter you gonna translate. Just because it's free doesn't mean you can do the fuck you want. You know, if mostof peoples complain about that, that's mean the thingyou do is not really appreciated and you should stop.

 

[alidan]

I understand if a group whats to start where an anime ended
I understand if a webnovel/novel is farther ahead in its translation and a manga is far behind, some people (me) could jump at a point we really wanted to see and be done with it, conan anime had an example of this where people wanted to see a specific episode but the anime was really untranslated back then, so there was a 50+ episode gap and we got what we wanted to see.

just going to the end is a dick move.
translating random chapters is a dick move.
Both of these end up demoralizing the actual translation, and to more harm than good.

 

[Siquall]

Praise Mangadex new settings.

 

[cvalenciaec]

Good, you will disappear with the new settings.

 

[Her0]

"Now I wouldn't see useless complains from ungrateful folks in the comment sections of my releases anymore!"

good luck with your troll.. you get a C*ckblock for me
