Does Batoto host adult material, or mature material? I ask because I wanted to upload the scanlations of http://www.asphodelshaven.com/, but I'm not sure if Batoto follows the scanlator's requirements:

 

 

 

Q: Can I host/mirror your scanlations?
A: Yes, iff your site meets the following requirements:

  1. In the spirit of this site, your downloads (except for adult materials) are open and free to all WITHOUT requiring registration or membership or any other steps.
  2. An age check is done before access to works containing adult material.
Please be courteous enough to provide a link back to this site if you decide to mirror these files.

 

 

 

I'm aware Batoto hosts mature material (as in http://vatoto.com/comic/_/comics/g-edition-r886), and that it doesn't do an age check.  However, it doesn't host pornography or nudes. So... should I upload?

If by adult you mean like hentai then no its not allowed. If you thinking along the links of borderline-h manga then 9/10 the manga is not allowed, if you thinking a mature/ecchi/smut manga then it comes down the the content of the manga and how much of certain parts are visible and what the content is about.

But what I want to know isn't if I the doujinshi I want to upload is admissible by Batoto, but if Batoto is admissible by the scanlator.

 

...

 

I'm going with 'yes', because most people think 'adult' is just an euphemism for 'porno-graphical'; if I happen to be wrong, I'll have this topic as proof that it was an honest mistake.

Batoto does not do a "hard" age check, as in a click yes if you are over 18/21, but has a "mature" tag that says the content may contain explicit/graphic violence, gore, and/or adult content.

So no, Batoto would not qualify under the 2nd term
