| Decline in Novel Release Listings |
Many of you complain about seeing so many novel releases (about half of the listed releases every day are from novels). In case you didn't know, you could hide all those novels by going to edit your user profile and look at the "Types to Hide" field.
Anyways, if you fall in that camp, you'll be happy to know that a lot less novel releases will be listed on MangaUpdates. This isn't due to a policy change though. It's actually because almost every novel release for the last 1.5 months has been added by me, and quite frankly, I'm tired. I won't be adding any more novels now, as it took up way too much of my time.
Like I said, there's been no policy change. We'll still approve any novel releases you add as long as they follow our other content policies such as belonging to a group listed on MU, we can verify the release, etc. Please give the correct release date if it was a date in the past.
Reminder that we don't have restrictions on who can add what releases. You don't need to belong to the scanlation group in order to add a release by them.

Choices:
No topics offend me on principle - votes: 1987 (40.6%)
I used to have one, but not anymore - votes: 286 (5.8%)
I can think of one deal breaker - votes: 1584 (32.3%)

The poll ended: August 19th 2017
Many people who commented said they're fine with any topic as long as it was done well, so they're basically fine with anything |

| New Poll - Deal Breaker |
This week's poll is from residentgrigo. It's a bit long-winded, but the scenario we're talking about is a series you are already reading (and hopefully like), then suddenly it brings up a topic out of left field that makes you wanna drop the series. Does this happen to you?

| New Poll - Manga into Anime |
This week's poll was suggested by Karonhioktha. The poll probably doesn't have the option you want, but oh well. I feel like anime based off manga are generally alright anyways. Now if it was a movie based off a game, I'd be a lot more fearful.

| New Poll - Scanlating Licensed Series |
I'm surprised we never had this poll before. It's actually a really good question to ask the community. The question was submitted by shiarisu.

| New Poll - Long Anime |
This week's poll is similar to the one a few weeks ago about long manga series, but our member zeazea suggested anime. I didn't like zeazea's options though, so I made it more similar to the manga poll.

Original Naruto: 220
Naruto: Shippuden: 500
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (original in US): 224
Pokemon (original): 279
Dragon Ball Z: 291
Bleach: 366
One Piece: 797
Crayon Shin-chan: 937
