Suggestion: Rules Regarding Number or Ratio of "Credit" Pages :rejected:

[xvicarious]

There are some series, webcomics specifically, that are 4 pages. The translation group adds their credit page/s. How many are appropriate? A 1:1 ratio? Surely that far too many. My issue stems from https://mangadex.org/title/38349/sokuochi-mayuri-chan for specific chapter where there is a 1:1 ratio is 14. Credit is one thing, but come on. So I propose some kind of standard limit to the number of pages or ratio of pages to the chapter's length to prevent this kind of abuse.

No from me. MD aren't the scanlation police they're a hosting platform. They have no business telling groups what they can or can't do with their content UNLESS it infringes upon the established rules of the site while being hosted here. Even then i'd be hard pressed to side with them when taking action case and point the whole Rapeman and Koolio fiasco. Honestly this seems to be an issue that should be addressed to the group(s) in question rather than the mods.

Edit: Added a link if y'all wanna check it out it gets pretty juicy at points so get some popcorn ready.

While I agree that some groups add more credit pages (and some meme pages as well) per chapter and skew the content:credits ratio,
I don't think enforcing a standardized limit is the way to go.

Well, I suppose I'll wait until I get 12 page 4 page chapters. The buck has to stop somewhere. Theyre not the scanlation police no, but the scanlator giving themselves an equal amount of real estate to the actual author's content is absolutely absurd.

A. Its not MDs business to police the groups. infact because they dont think its their JOB to police the groups, that some groups had a hissy fit and left. (Group A had insults directed at Group B on their credit page, Group B wanted them removed, MD said no, not our job, talk to Group A. Group B left along with Groups C D and E)

B. Groups are free to do whatever they want to THEIR OWN RELEASES. Unless their credit pages include things like gaping prolapsed anuses or decapitation gifs...

Just skip it. ^q and ^e are your friends.

@xvicarious I understand the frustration but MD shouldn't and also shouldn't have to police releases to THAT extend. Just my own opinion but if you have a problem with how a group operates, then either bring the issue up to them and discuss it, hopefully they accommodate your feedbacks, or if they don't and/or if the problem is really bad and you absolutely can't accept it, block the group and stop reading their releases.

Change '25%' to '50% of total pagecount' in certain cases for greater accuracy.

rant on their release's comment, the comment could be used for that.
and keep doing it until they change.
a drama is what changes or broke a group.

@xvicarious If groups want to include 15 pages of credits, that's up to them. The readers will hate them for it, but it's not our responsibility. Bring it up with the group

@Rapeman The suggestion forums has rules, which is to stay on topic regarding the original suggestion.
