Purpose
Contributor status allows you to upload comics to Batoto without moderation queue. This does not mean you need contributor status to upload. This also does not mean it will never be moderated. It means your uploads will show up immediately.
Anyone can upload chapters. Anyone can add/edit comics/groups.

Why would one get Contributor status?
1. If you're from a group, you may wish to use Batoto as your publishing medium. Therefore, delays caused by moderation would get in the way.
AND/OR
2. You're going to upload a large number of comics. This simply removes the amount of work moderators will need to do.

Qualifications: Goes for Each member-----

   1-A. You're from a group to upload your releases/comics. You should still have at least 4 chapters to show you understand the system. Does Not Mean being  part of a scanlation Without uploading Anything will be granted Contributor automatically . ​

                                         OR

.  1-B.  You Have uploaded at least 5 chapters previously. There are no hard limits as requirement (roughly 10+). But it shows that you're familiar with how the system works. 

    2. Have Read and Understand the global rules and The General Hosting Guidelines/Policies .This is an obvious factor that applies to everyone. But contributors must pay special attention to it as you are making impact which carries immediate consequences.

I have noticed a recent increase in uploaded chapters which do not sort properly into the overall chapter lists.

I want to emphasize that as a contributor it would be beneficial if you made yourself familiar with the chapter sorting order.
I might ask you to properly sort your uploads into the comic list(s) before I grant your request.

The sorting is explained here: guide to uploading

From now on...

... I do expect everybody who requests the status of contributor to state that he or she has read, understood and therefore created their application according to what is written in Grumpy's post about the Contributor status and the Application.

 

I'm sorry to inconvenience those that would have done just regardless of me requesting it, but I believe it is necessary to maintain Batoto's quality standards.

 

Thank you!

Following Changes made:

 

-From At least a few/couple chapters to 4/5 chaps.

 

  • Due to recent amount of chaps being incorrectly uploaded (either by sorting, valid release, not viewable...etc ),  members will now have to at least upload 5 chaps of any series/groups  thats been approved , to be able to apply for Contributor.

 

-Vetted from any members to Only Contributors .

  • Being that Contributors are granted their status due to their qualification of being one ,therefore their vouches are more effective. whereas any members can either be a alternative account or friends of the member who has never uploaded before or understand our uploading/hosting policies.
