    lost-translations

    Not one to leave comments often but I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for picking up Bread & Butter! I had already given up on being able to read the rest of it and I really appreciate the nice suprise.

    How to tell whether a manga will be bad before even reading the first chapter

    I mean in all honestly you can trim these criteria down a whole lot. My general rules of thumb are (either/or): Title contains more than 4 words Based off a light or web novel Light/Web novels are by far the most pulpy medium you come across today, in an already incredibly pulpy subculture...

    Recent use of Google Tag Manager

    Huh, I seem to remember not getting any tracker hits on this website but I guess I was wrong. Well, carry on I guess.

    Recent use of Google Tag Manager

    Hey there, I noticed that mangadex recently (or at least I hadn't noticed it before) started using Google Tag Manager scripts. Considering this can be used for analytics I figured I'd ask what you're using this for. Cheers

    Thoughts on the My Hero Academia Controversy?

    I mean, you're posting on a discussion forum, so no, I didn't notice. But you know what you ARE perfectly entitled to run away from the slightest criticism of your opinion. Wonder why WSJ didn't think of that one. Or, you know, you take the author at their word, they actually agreed with the...

    Thoughts on the My Hero Academia Controversy?

    @Coriander It's not censorship because the worst a group of people can do is not buy your work, or choose not to publish it on your platform. No author is entitled to a livelihood, something that many great authors who don't casually reference war crimes in their works know very well...

    Thoughts on the My Hero Academia Controversy?

    @ shipmeadow This is not the case here, the author or anyone else wasn't in danger of being fired; and, as far as I know no one was calling for that either. The worst I've seen from fans is "I am going to stop reading this" which would have impacted the author's livelihood only in the most...

    Thoughts on the My Hero Academia Controversy?

    @shipmeadow I don't know which Germany you've been visiting, but they're keenly aware of WWII and will be one of the first to remind you of its horrors. You will indeed find out that they're (rightly) not very tolerant of right-wing extremism but this is exactly because they're so keenly...

    Thoughts on the My Hero Academia Controversy?

    I think what a lot of people are missing is that it's not just the fact that the character shares a name with someone controversial, it's the fact that the name was used in context of human experiments, making it a pretty direct reference. If someone just happens to share a name that's one...

    Reporting system for Users/DMs

    Right. Ignore this thread then. (also thanks for looking up that thread @sterven, I can't imagine it was easy without search)

    Reporting system for Users/DMs

    @AbyssalMonkey If it is, it isn't on the Planned Features list. All I could find that is remotely related to this suggestion is Only receive PMs from friends/group members which is not the same thing. And while enabling such a feature certainly would solve the issue of spambots, it also blocks...

    Reporting system for Users/DMs

    With the current system you can report both Forum posts and Manga chapters but we cannot report users or direct messages through a similar moderation system. This seems a bit of an oversight. Especially with the sporadic spambots finding this site, which then have to be reported "manually" by...

    How to report spam account?

    @ailinlee as well. Being able to report accounts through a separate system like you can with posts on the forum would be a better solution though, I guess I'll make a Suggestion thread for it. Edit: Here's the said Suggestion thread. Feel free to add to it if I missed anything.

    @ indi_n0rd It's so odd (and undeserved) that this is their most-read series; they're a great group. (Also: I miss the ship shitposting; snipers please get your game together)
