[TheGodfather]

Hello,

I am going to un-approve both mentioned series and contact whomever has uploaded them. Most of the chapters uploaded to batoto are not uploaded by staff, but by its users. There is a list of all delay and uploading policies known to us, and we demand that our users respect and refer to them when they decide to upload a chapter.

And let me be clear here. We do NOT, under any circumstances, pay people to upload. We run an ad-revenue program for groups that decide to host their releases on batoto to fund their expenses generated by ads on their own projects. No money is paid to randoms who upload here. For more information on this, please contact Trebor or Grumpy, or look in the appropriate comic hosting forum.

I will now proceed to removing your projects - sorry for any inconveniences caused.

Hi, I'm the person who uploaded Tena (I've removed the chapters) and I'm very sorry to not have contacted you beforehand, that was an oversight on my part which I will try to remedy, however I can guarantee you, that I'm not being paid in any way and it's the first time I've ever heard of that happening.

If there were anyone asking us for permission on uploading our releases, we would gladly answer, "yes no problem". The only thing we don't like is people uploading and sharing it with every mangareader possible without our consent. So as long as there'll be a request, our group will agree without making any problems at all.

[TheGodfather]

If KidCongo wishes to do so, I am sure he will contact your group and ask for permission. Thank you for your understanding.

Though, TheGodfather already said everything needed, I want to emphasize this part once more.

This misunderstanding happened rather few times now and rather frustrating on my part as I'm not sure what more reasonable methods I can take to prevent this.

Ad revenue share is strictly for groups and not uploaders. Anytime a group wishes to participate in the ad revenue program, we go under strict verification process to identify the validity of ownership or participation in the group. Under no circumstances there will be an imposter pretending to be a group member when they're not.

Well, i hope we can get your understanding. For us, scanlators, mere thought of someone using our hard work and spent time is enough to make us go balistic. That, is the worst thing someone can do to us. Especially for groups like ours, that do NOT rely on donations, ad revenues nor any external funding or public raws. We invest our time, and resources, we are completely self-sufficient. We do it for the fans, and we do not expect anything else but a word of thanks, and for external sites, a polite request if they can host it.

I've gotten into contact with Souldrake, Batoto has permission to upload all manga-heaven projects, including Tena which was taken down. There is a 5 day delay, however.
