i really wish they'd kept the one-translation-group-per-manga rule from batoto lol
then this shitty mtl ape group wouldn't have caused this scanlation war.

At least Lurking said he'll keep translating this series. But hey keep on going GDS multiple groups scanning the same thing is fine just don't get angry about it after ya'll essentially abandoned this and Lurking came back since it seemed you weren't going to continue.

Do you consider that the series is being "worked on" if a group uploads after someone else does? Raws are up to chapter 32, volume 9 just released a month ago, and going on the trend of 3 chapters per volume would cover through 28. It's even more damning that they put out 16 a day earlier than lurkingstar would, and then have the exact same two month gap with nothing.
if that's how that group wants to do it, what has that to do with you? just show support to the other group so they don't get "bored" or bashed for "snipping" so they keep working on it.
On other languages, sometimes up to 3 groups can be seen working in the same title, but only the english readers whine so much about it.

I don't know what you're talking about, I remember hitting the option in the menu to change to a different tl version back then too.

The only reason that there is a scanlation war over this series is because of how awful GD's schedule is. They like to hoard mangas to translate that often than not, they leave it untouched for so long. That is until another group tries to TL to give life to it, and GD comes crashing in like a possessive brat that left his toy at the park for days.
And I think the one group rule isn't good, if the current group isn't up to par we would be stuck with them, or like GD the manga will just be left behind.

there's a third guy, LurkingTL who does a fairly decent job, and is the only reason GD even bothered to upload

i'm not talking about the post-2018 batoto that's just a random ass aggregator nowadays. i'm talking about the time when the original owner was managing things, i.e. about the time batoto was the unofficial predecessor of mangadex where all scanlators uploaded their stuff to. one scanlator called dibs on a series and they got to keep it unless they were inactive for quite some time. other parallel uploads would be deleted.
the whole reason why so many scanlation groups left mangadex in its first months was because the mods here said to sort it out themselves.

we've got these retarded "scanlation wars" for so many manga already. and batoto dropped a scanlator if they took too long.

I wonder if a solution to all this stupid problems would be some few simple rules.

  • One scanlation person/group per title.
  • Set an "inactivity timer" depending on source release time with a buffer for "bad situations".
  • Maybe as a bonus let people have an option to click a button somewhere that tells site that who ever claimed and translates title does so bad job that using google translate on phone would be better quality, so that some quality checks happen and said group/person are removed.
  • Add some kind of "external" checking - if uploaded progress on this site is like 10 chapters, but group has 10 more on their "behind paid wall" site - give them a warning with a timer to upload all that stuff to this site or get removed.

Sure the removed stuff could mean that some titles would go into dead states, but the groups could probably "try faking it" by creating new names and start reuploading - which would still help with the last part, not so much with the middle bonus one. With the title marked as "dead" at least it would be easier for other people to see that they can take it themselves.

But frankly speaking I don't really know how this whole thing works, are other sites that let you read manga just "thieves" and thats why they often have the "pay walled" chapters that aren't here, etc. Aka I am not sure if such rules would help, or just make this site die in a bit of time.

some of the scanlators made their own websites and only upload there. others upload on their site first and a few days/weeks later on mangadex.
but sites like mangakakalot etc, that host chapters from all kinds of scanlation groups, just rip chapters without permission and put a shit ton of ads on their site to make cash with stolen chapters.
so either read here or on each scanlation group's website - if they have one.
lastly, if they legit paywall stuff (i.e. patreon etc), you can be quite sure it's stolen content.

No, I'm also talking about preshutdown batoto, it didn't happen often, but there were series I was following that were being done by different groups at the same time, or instances where the new group would go back to redo previous chapters and you would see the tl group name on the list to change the one you were reading. Low quality translations tend to come in fast after all.
