If people want to discuss shit that isn't the series themselves there's an offtopic section in the forums. No need to flood comment sections of manga with baseless shitflinging over politics and other nonsensical nothing. Which is why Koolio, Rapeman, etc. should definitely get the boot on their neck for attempting to start arguments over things not having anything to do with them in the first place.

Too bad about Rapeman. I mean, if you don't like the credit pages, just block that uploader.

Well I'm glad to see someone working on bringing this back to dex. Not sure what there is to fight about with the rule change at this point. That shit is done and over with. Most of the scanlators who left were some of the most cancerous on the site and a lot of them had really poor quality due to originally being scan snipers.

@diogenes I kinda understand both sides. on one hand, this is a platform for manga, not personal politics (that's what the comments are for Lmao). Credits pages are am ettiquite and should be used as such. To give credit, recruit more people to work on manga, and maybe translation notes.
On the other hand, scanslators aren't some formal entity and many do use credits pages for other purposes like memes, ads to other manga they translate, etc. And it seems a bit insular to create a rule tailored more towards 1-2 groups who are using them in a way the staff doesn't like. And let's face it, the kinds of manga rape man translates tend to be the kind with edgy shit anyway. Maybe it'd make sense if he was putting Nazi shit on Komi, but tasteless joke on tasteless manga is just water on a fish.
all that said, I'm surprised rape man touched this to begin with. this is extremely vanilla compared to most of his other stuff.
@borderlines TBF, it's a re-up of Ch 1 when most peope are on CH. 90+. not much to talk about for people here. If I had to say something, the anime adapted this chapter well, can't wait for more.

This whole credit page controversy has flown right past me and quite frankly I prefer to remain ignorant.
I do remember some utterly tasteless credit pages, most were just your tipical teenage edgelord stupidity, some seemed to be taken directly from /pol/, complete with toxic idiocy and all. I was never offended, just saddened at what an utter train wreck the latter ones were. I think their removal only helps enjoy this manga. Mainly because of the mood whiplash they caused.
As a final thought, let's just appreciate the fact that the guy's online handle was rapeman.
Nothing of value was lost.

Except they weren't really "cracked down on." If they continued to have garbage edgy/propaganda "credit" pages, they would risk having said credit page of new releases removed by staff. That's it. Nobody would be banned. No chapters would be removed.

Nice TL and all, though it does seem somewhat familiar...
But really if you're just going to 95% rip my old scripts please put the shit through a spell checker first, wouldn't want anyone thinking I made all them typos. And don't forget to re-typeset the SFX too, polish is important.

Already mentioned on the group page/series comments here as well over a week ago that I pulled it all myself, so no need to hypothesise. But needing to be spoonfed is an archetypical EOP bottomfeeder characteristic I suppose.
tl;dr: Having future releases edited by admins isn't my bag, and 3.2.6 would preclude leaving gaps and uploading only safe chapters, which makes the site fairly pointless to use for me at least. So may as well remove it all and help create the neutral #safespace the rules and mods desire chapter discussion to be now. Just imagine the horror if those legacy comment sections had even one more political comment posted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wasn't hypothesizing that you removed everything yourself. I was telling your fangirls that you pulled everything yourself because they were claiming that MD banned you and removed everything.
It isn't about "safe spaces." Irrelevant extra pages are just annoying. As I said, yours didn't annoy me that much, but Koolio's sure did. It's better to ban all irrelevant extra pages than cherry pick one side of the extreme. They also would not have touched your past releases.
Edit: I agree that it looks like they at least used your transcript for that page, and that's scummy. If they did the same for the rest of the chapter as well, it should probably be removed.

>I wasn't hypothesizing
>He might have also posted somewhere that he was banned just to get his edgy tween fans riled up and spam MD
Since there's no ability to edit font size in the comment section, you'll just have to imagine the following is in 48pt lettering: 'K'
And they can use my scripts which I essentially told the guy via PM also (if anyone is masochistic enough to re-edit 34 chapters that are still readily available elsewhere who am I to stop them), not going to pretend I have copyright on an unlicensed TL. But a mention that they're ripping would be nice, in addition to some proofreading of said rips.

"I wasn't hypothesizing that you removed everything yourself."
And I wasn't. The quote you just gave was me hypothesizing why so many people were confident that you were banned despite your account and group page clearly still existing. I also hypothesized why you pulled all of your stuff as well. And the fact that you're fine with other groups essentially reuploading your work supports that hypothesis.
