I'm combing through the archives to find popular series with complete scans that you missed
When I upload, I upload a lot and at random hours, so being a contributor would make it easier to get this stuff readable quickly and with minimal errors
I uploaded 18 volumes of manga an hour ago I think I got the hang of it now

Approved.

Unapproved. Some of the chapters you uploaded were labelled no group when they were actually done by Music Room 3. Other chapters were labelled No Group but done by Omari's sister, which has a no hosting policy.

Music Room 3 is an inactive group, and I didn't know if I was allowed to add those without being a member. I assumed that it was okay to make the group info myself for little secondary roles in a couple chapters, but I put no group for the Music Room 3 volumes since it was such a large chunk of the series and that should be up to the original group or a mod or something

Also a lot of people aren't aware those specials even exist, I think we should at least put the chapters + titles holders there maybe with an image directing them to Omari's sister because the average person can't even find it

Omari's sister's uploading ban is specifically against readers that profit on ads without sharing it with the scanlators (not batoto), and some of those special chapters predate the site existing so unless Omari's sister went back and uploaded their completed projects, which was unlikely since nobody made the series before yesterday, there was no easy way they could upload it. I uploaded it as no group so we'd have an easy-to-get-to copy to debate this over, and any issues could be worked out before authorizing the chapters for reading but then i got sidetracked and now I see you've deleted it already since unreadable chapters are apparently also offensive

Well, let's say it like this: We make a big deal out of the whole crediting process and following the scanlators rules.

The right crediting is like one of the most important things here on Batoto. "No group" should be avoided if possible.

Since chapters uploaded by contributors are available immediately, we expect them to confirm the policies of the groups before they upload and to double check what they have uploaded.
Of course everybody is only human and makes mistakes, but uploaders and contributors especially should try to put in all the relevant information to the best of their abilities.

If you aren't sure about something you can always ask here.

After talking with foxy, I'm going to give contributor status again.

Just remember that Batoto takes group attribution and following group policies seriously, so we like to see group attribution at the time of upload. Also, this is important because it affects scanlation group's ad revenue share (for any group that opts into the program).
