So, some people seemed to be curious about what was up with the bans. We caught a NSFW ban for the dump (this chapter is SFW, the only thing even questionable is male nipples and groping which is concealed by clothing). The warning came about when we remade the thread with an explanation in the OP that the chapter was SFW. He sounded buttmad to me, idk. The ban from irc came kind of unexpectedly, I was being pretty civil, and they didn't seem to like my assumption that the mod was new or didn't know how to enforce /a/'s rules consistently, apparently, and kickbanned me without any warning. Shots of the ban and warning now added:
Alright, I don't like pointless posts, but I guess we ought to tell you about this. We won't be distro'ing through 4chan's /a/ anymore. We caught a ban, a warning, and a ban from the 4chan irc tonight, all for trying to post Mei no Naisho chapter 5. We don't spend the time putting together releases to fight our way through that kind of shit, so any /a/nons, just make sure to follow the blog, subscribe to the RSS, or watch mangaupdates. Oh well.
How unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteRoger!! . . . gha ha ha . . .
ReplyDeleteSo doubles and blog posts go merrily hand in hand with troll stickies, but when someone dares to post some fresh manga the mods come down with a fury? You'd almost think they were actively trying to harm /a/.
ReplyDeleteHopefully all the other /a/nons that follow your releases are also smart enough to check your blog. Sorry to hear you wound up on the short end of mod incompetence, though.
That's a shame, but then again I hardly ever visit /a/ so I'm glad you guys aren't bothering with that shit-hole. Thanks for the chapter as usual!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks, but I'm not surprised in the slightest.Wouldn't go out of my way to share on 4chan either.
ReplyDeleteI got the permaban for posting a fake of a legal, adult-age Hermione Granger/Emma Watson in /b/, and told I was banned for posting Pedo. they're morons, and there's plenty of other websites out there.
ReplyDeleteTheir loss, I suppose. Checking the blog's already become a daily ritual for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope this won't stop you for scanlating Mei no Naisho. This manga is effing great! :D
ReplyDeleteNaw, it won't affect any of our operations other than that the usual dump on /a/ won't be happening any more. If they don't want the content there, we won't bother trying to make them let us post it, it just isn't worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool, don't worry about. I'm sure most people on /a/ interested in the material will find their way here eventually. Although, the NSFW ban seems somewhat silly considering there have been occurrences such as this: http://imgur.com/MfZgf.png.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hard work.
It's just the new faggot mod on a powertrip at /a/. Ignore him, bandodge, and get him even more butthurt.
ReplyDeleteThat guy allows doubles garbage but not a new manga chapter dump? What the fuck.
Most people on 4chan should not be allowed into a position of power. They were probably bullied as a child and are taking it out on the internet.
ReplyDeleteRandom bans are extremely common on IRC.
It goes without saying that they're retarded.
ReplyDeleteThe mods have always been faggots.
