#1750645 Bring Harmony between publishers and scanlators

Posted by Mrvirus on 26 May 2016 - 02:52 PM

Well, we would like to give you our support, but unfortunately we are a manhua group, plus we already made a deal like this with another so claimed publisher(but money was not involved though), but in the end they bailed out. 

 

Also how many group do you need as backup and how many have you gotten?

Thank you, but why do you think Scanlation isn't prepared for this kind of project yet?

 

Scanlations is no longer "do out of passion/care about the authour" this might still be true for some group/small ones, but as of now it's a business. Big and well known group can support themselves, why would they share the "cake" with other when they can get the whole "cake" for themselves and get away with it?

 

There's also the free for all rules, but I'm sure you will figure something out :P

 

GL anyway

This is a good point that I haven't though about. I suppose all the users who downvoted their works can get a refund or maybe a discount on the next buy if the scangroup is actually suspended.

I'll think more on this, because I don't want user who just downvote everything hoping in a refund °_° But I think is possible installing an algorithm that signal this kind of behaviors

 

Instead of having an upvote and downvote where it's easily mistaken as "good chapter/bad chapter" have a "Report for LQ work" and let's say if a certain amount of percentace of readers report this work, then let the internal team check the work, if it's indeed of LQ then provide a refund, and suspend/warn the group, but then again, this can be abuse. 

 

 


This is a good point too, but I hope the internal QA will be enough to prevent the shitty releases. I also though that when there's more than one group translating a manga, to delay the first release until all groups have finished or up to 24h. This should discourage a speed LQ release, but can create a mess and I don't really think I'll implement this, but what do you think about?

Do you have any suggestions on how preventing shitty releases? I'm a perfectionist and prefer quality over quantity/speed, so this is a really important point for me.

 

Like you said, an upfront check, then at interval, choose a few chapters and have it checked: I.E once a month, select 3 chapters out of 10 chapters the group do and let the internal team check for quality. Not the best method but can prevent shitty release to a certain degree and should reduce the cost, given every time the internal team check means you have to pay them, also you will rely on the good will of the readers to report LQ work. 

 

And good luck with your project. It's a nice idea, but as Scanlation right now, it's might prove difficult to make it happen.

How will you handle the quality part, if I may ask? HQ scans doesn't means HQ quality, and not every "Scanlators" do it out of passion but something else, another problem is the free for everyone, popular series will have many groups working on them, there will be many many different version to choose(Because money is involved, obviously). Will there be example pages where readers can view before the purchase? Also the paywall, most readers don't give a **** about the authours or Scanlators, all they care about is "free stuff". This also means "Scanlators" will care less about quality, because ealier release = more money, cause most readers read the ealier release.

#1322340 Looking for a Translator for Wind Breaker(Webtoon)

Posted by Mrvirus on 18 July 2014 - 08:23 PM

you know BlackHorus the group that doing it need a proofer for that project, and they are also currently recruiting for members, if it's as you said that you love the comic and instead of finding a new translator for it why not just apply for the proofer position that the currently group is looking for? you can proofread and they need a proofer, I can't see why u didn't apply for the position to get the serie out.

Why not just hold down Ctrl+D then you can choose where you want to put the bookmark in =.=. Copy, past and drag just seems =.=

Then if you want them to arrange by names/alphabet just go to preference and change arrange after title there done
