Credit pages are needed because many people read manga from these manga aggregate sites. If there weren't any credit pages, you wouldn't know who helped to scanlate the manga and also wouldn't know how to contact them (Assuming they don't check MU). It's also used as 'advertising' space to recruit more help. As long as they don't add 2 or more credit pages per chapter, it's fine with me.

I did many despicable things, I'm not denying it.
The only reason I'm still here is, because I have fun translating.
I don't actually care where reader read my chapter or if they thank me or not.
But if the reader they read on, is making a profit from that, it's a different topic.
I tried many approaches to plead to the readers to stop reading on mangafox.
What did I get in return? They were telling me to fuck off.
I'm don't want to appear stuck up high, but the majority of the readers forgot who they should be thankful to. They take it for granted now that the chapters appear (on mangafox).
People bounded together to go against Tazmo, but no one is going against mangafox?
Yeah, because mangafox is convenient and nobody wants to lose their easy way of accessing manga. Understandable.
But no one ever takes into consideration the side of the scanlators.
And don't come saying now that if we are real scanlators we wouldn't mind such small details, because after all we are doing it for the readers.
Yes, we are doing it for the readers, most of the time un-thanked. And we don't mind that.
We have our fun working on the stuff. But again, we can't tolerate a third-party making money off that.

Still every scanlator knows there's two kinds of people: readers and leechers. Readers read stuff and say thanks once a blue moon. Leechers reads stuff and complain or troll since it's their "right" to get the next chapter watermark free.
» philip72 on February 11th, 2012, 9:47pm
In many ways you should be a scanlation legend, hailed by everyone.
But you've created lots of unneeded collateral damage in your fight with Mangafox, and have started picking fights with leechers.
Maybe it's time to take a clean break from the whole scanlation biz for several months, and then come back to the issue with a fresh perspective.

asking people to read on batoto to get ad money to buy raws or whatever goes against the "For fan, by fans, for free" rule that the great translators of yore have lived by. If you can't afford the hobby, don't do it. Asking for raw donations is alright because it's not money that's being exchanged.
» godhand666 on February 11th, 2012, 9:05am
Otherwise I can understand why so many groups put them on their releases unlike many many ungrateful leaches.
"asking people to read on batoto to get ad money to buy raws or whatever goes against the "For fan, by fans, for free" rule that the great translators of yore have lived by."
-This often repeated complaint always makes me think "[Money] For MangaFox, by fans, for free&without work(by MF)"
None of the groups are asking you to give them money, unless you want to. What they are asking you to do is stop willingly and eagerly (very eagerly in some cases) making money for the greedy noez.

I don't think I would have noticed it otherwise.
Of course when I see the watermarks, read the message they got, then I go and troll them. Cuz you know...I read their message what more do they want? I'm too busy to support them or to help them out so I rather go and troll them since it takes more time but it's fun to get all my anger out on them instead of the mangaonline readers that annoy them and which may cause the group to die.
Heh, like they got something to say, they should just give me my chapters because it's my right to get them. Without me they wouldn't have any readers and they wouldn't be able to scanlate anymore. They should thank me for that. Heck they should do it on the watermarks. I approve this!
» Marcos on February 11th, 2012, 11:07am
I really don't have anything to say most of the time, so I have a lot of problems to compose those posts in a way that they won't be considered a spam. And let's be realistic. Those watermarks you get on a release from Japanzai isn't really so bad, that you need to use some special device to read the chapter.
Grind your teeth and stop complaining. You get it for free, you know.
» philip72 on February 11th, 2012, 11:30am
"If you keep my personal forum active, I will pay you with releases."
It's pure bartering, and it's highly unethical in regards to scanlation.
» philip72 on February 11th, 2012, 11:23am
Credit pages are fine because they're simply informing a reader of the group's composition and views, but a watermark is a brand that says "this is ours".
And of course the real owners of the work are the mangaka's and publishers.
No matter how much effort and personal funds the scanlators invest in the scanlation, it is not theirs.
If they truly believe that it is theirs, then it's time to leave scanlation, as their argument is equivalent to that of a forger's or a patent thief's private critique.
Watermarks are going to end up hurting scanlation like online readers. Both are currently waving red flags at the copyright holders.

We scanlators provide a free fan service. Mangafox and Co. don't do that. They make money off our hobby. Quite shamelessly and a ton. That's not right.
» philip72 on February 11th, 2012, 5:35pm
Saying "We created this scanlation, therefore we can dictate where it can and cannot be hosted" really is insinuating proprietary rights on the behalf of the scanlator.
Now don't get me wrong, I loathe online readers, they're the worst possible way to read manga (aside from web comics).
I also think Mangafox, MangaHere, etcetera are a pack of thieves (the fact that Batoto pays scanlators revenue bothers me too), but watermarks are not the way to fight them. Trolling fans with unreadable releases is not the way to fight them either.
Watermarks are the scanlator version of SOPA and PIPA. They're pissing off fans, implying proprietary rights, and are ultimately ineffective.
Is there an American law student that can chime in on this? I'm afraid my knowledge is limited to Canadian law.
» RiK.dfs on February 11th, 2012, 5:46pm
It does help deter some cases similar to Tazmo. Most of them aren't implying rights to the work....but to simply note that they were the ones to provide that scanlated release.
Though the groups trying to release ONLY to an online reader where they get paid for it ARE in fact bordering on rights infringement.
The main problem is that groups are experimenting to find a way similar to watermarking in order to control their releases. I recently came across one where you had to unzip the file then open in a web browser or the pages would be out of order. (Kinda stupid since all the material was ALREADY downloaded). Also watermarks that blink on/off are REALLY annoying.....especially the ones that cover 1/4 of the page making it nearly unreadable).
» philip72 on February 11th, 2012, 6:26pm
not that two stalled federal bills on piracy are the same thing as a watermark on a comics page.
» PROzess on February 12th, 2012, 2:49am
We have been appealing to the public for a long time now. It all started with just warnings on the release post. Followed by short instruction on the credit page. Does any of that worked? No.
I started to include a "warning page" to every release with my translation. Does that work? No. Reader just skip that or the reader in question just removes that page. So much for that.
The only way left for us is to use the actual manga pages.
We're doing this for free. for fans.
But we can't tolerate it when some third-party is claiming our work as theirs or even profiting of it.
We all know how convenient mangafox is with all the manga in one place, but that's no excuse...
» auriga on February 11th, 2012, 3:59pm
The problem is most people see scanlation as an end. It's not. It's nothing more than a stopgap until
1. The series gets licensed
2. The reader learns nihonggo and imports from Japan
Leechers can make a long list of excuses as to why they can't legally obtain their manga but at the end of the day they're still excuses. The fact remains that the ball is in the reader's hands; they either choose to buy their manga or suck it up and make do with what the scanlators provide.
» imercenary on February 12th, 2012, 12:34am
Unless you're fluent in nihonggo and you live in Japan and/or possess a comfortable economic position; the ball is ultimately NOT in the reader's hands.

» imercenary on February 12th, 2012, 10:27am
If Japanese publishing companies say "screw you America!", non-nihonggo reading Americans are shit outta luck. Thats it. End of discussion.
Scanlators are an just another type form of supplier. If the (sole) scanlation group for a manga decides to ragequit(/the staff quits/whatever), non-nihonggo readers are shit outta luck. Thats it. End of discussion.
Got the money but don't know nihonggo? You're shit outta luck (unless you're rich enough to fund a translation/scanlation group).
» auriga on February 12th, 2012, 4:29pm
That's actually my plan: I'm currently teaching myself how to read and write hiragana and katakana (free resources are available online), then I plan to import raw shounen manga tanks to help me study kanji. Eventually I'll move on to seinen manga.
Five (to my count) birds with one stone:
1. I get to read manga.
2. I get to read manga in the manner the mangaka intends me to (nothing lost due to translation)
3. I get to read manga that have no hope of seeing the light of day outside Japan; no second/third party to limit my choices.
4. I get to read manga legally. I directly support the mangakas and publishers by buying tanks.
5. I obtain my (currently) third language; thanks to my hobby my resumé is more attractive.
There are simply no excuses.

Leech - "Ooooo, thanks"
Leech - "Hey! did you poop on this?!"
Scanner - "Yup, somebodies been sharing with Johnny, so I've been pooping on each piece in case Johnny gets his hands on it.
Leech - "You dick, you promised me free cake, but you pooped on it"
Scanner - "Sigh, there's just no gratitude. I worked hard to bake that cake, the original ingredients were delicious, leeches like you get something for nothing and then all you do is complain."
Leech - "But you smothered it in feces, why should I thank you?"
Scanner - "You shared with Johnny, until he's gone I'm pooping on all the cake"
Leech - "But I never shared..."
Scanner - "You're all the same, ungrateful wretches. Stop Johnny and I won't poop on cake anymore"
Leech - "You can keep your bloody cake, you @$+#!"
Leech - "That scan guy's a jerk, he's promising free cake, but befouling it before he serves it to you"
Sycophant - "you have no right to complain about what the scanlators give you FOR FREE."
» T1 on February 12th, 2012, 12:19pm
Plus if you don't like free cakes with poops no one is telling you to come back and whine about it or for that sake keep coming back and complaining about it because no one else is making the same cake. It doesn't mean that the poop goes away, it only means that there will be smellier poops on the cake the more you complain instead of doing something about Johnny.
» auriga on February 12th, 2012, 5:40pm
Again, everyone should be reading LEGALLY. You can either do that by buying official English translations or learning nihonggo then importing raw manga from Japan. If you can't do either option (for whatever excuse you have) then you resort to illegal methods: scanlation. That or you don't read manga at all.
At the end of the day no one is forcing you to do anything. Don't want watermarks? Then don't read scanlations and purchase your manga legally. You don't want watermarks but don't have money to buy legal manga? It's your loss.

The closest thing to a watermark I can see as acceptable is a note in the margins pointing readers to Batoto or the scanlator website, but honestly I think even that is pushing it. A scanlator's job should be to deliver an immersive experience, not constantly pull the readers out of the zone by forcing scanlation politics in their face.
» D_P on February 11th, 2012, 1:38pm
Why do you read scanlations then?
» philip72 on February 11th, 2012, 6:18pm
a) Only scanlate titles not currently available in english, and cease scanlation the moment a title becomes available in english.
b) Accept no monies whatsoever, from any source, for the scanlation itself (ie; Depositfiles payoffs, Batoto revenue, commissions).
c) Do not assert ownership over any part of the finished scanlation.
» shinshuu on February 11th, 2012, 7:46pm

» PROzess on February 12th, 2012, 2:54am
The problem is that mangafox did it in the past. Currently they have changed their watermark and leave the credit pages in, But that was different before. They removed creditpage and their watermark at the bottom said "If you're reading this elsewhere than mangafox you're wrong" or similiar.
Because of such actions, the majority of readers thinks that mangafox is doing the actual work of the manga. They go to mangafox and request faster release.
But us, the scanlators. are not getting any help. How do you think we are going to continue if more people retire than new people come!?
We don't want to slap it into the reader's face that these are OUR chapters. We just want to convey to them that WE spend hours of our free time for them and would appreciate a bit of thanks or help.
And then to top things of, Mangafox makes a profit from it. Come on, you see the point here...
» gringe on February 11th, 2012, 6:25pm
» shinshuu on February 11th, 2012, 3:00pm
I'm find with water mark, it just encourage those who want to own high quality version to buy the book, thus helping the mangaka out. For reading it for free, reader shouldn't complain too much, and if they really like the story, and want high quality version, buying it should be the way to go. scanlation is only to promote unknown/known story to promote awareness. Look at chinese scanlation and you'll see how much they water mark it, english scanlation is nothing compare to their.
By the way, I don't think that readers/leecher should dictate how they perceive scanlation, that is for the scanlation community to decide. Those who do the actual work are the one with more powerful voice. Not everything in the world if free, only receiving and not giving.
Note: the reason why Mangafox haven't slow down their release is because they are using bot to download release from other manga reader site into their, that include batoto. this is even more immoral.
» gringe on February 11th, 2012, 6:28pm
» shinshuu on February 11th, 2012, 7:37pm
scanlation aren't to compete with publisher by releasing high quality scan too, this will only deter the reader from buying the actual book(both soft and hard copy). therefore, I fully support any form of degration on the scan itself to make it a lower quality one. this will incite leecher to contribute. Human naturally tend to want the best of the best, aka greed.
With regard the watermark, frankly anything goes as long as the scanlator doesn't said it "explicably" that they own it. Everything else is all in the grey zone, though some reader interpret it negatively.
As well, if you don't want watermarking, you should file you complaint on online reader site, it funny how they are still alive with nothing happening to them. They are the source of watermarking. Thank to them, many reader would stop going to the actual site to get the release and this can also by perceive negatively by the scanlator.
e.g., Scanlator: Why should I/we continue to scanlate when hardly anyone coming to the site. Maybe this just show not many people like this manga so we should stop. Maybe watermarking will tell the reader who did the actual work and they'll come here instead of thanking those ungrateful uploader who unload it to the reader site. Or we can just stop scanlating the manga.
As will the concept of "" is too linear/outdated to work in this scenario when it doesn't take other who make money from the fanwork into consideration.
Leecher should just be happy that nowadays it easier to grab the release than before when scanlator request contributing to forum, invites only etc... Although, to counter the aggregate site, more and more public scanlator are going semi to private just to prevent their release from entering the aggregator site. this will be a worser scenario that leecher hate when compare to this small watermarking. As well, they will request that their release not to be listed on mangaupdate (another counter measure), thus it be harder to find their existence.

The worst offenders for WM are A-team and Japanzai, I read mangas/manhwas from A-team and Japanzai do i feel like being punished ummm no? both of them release a UN-WM later, i can wait a week or 2 unlike other people (whiny leechers) but also i can drink the delicious tears of butt-hurt leechers so its all gd for me. You say there are better ways to fight them but yet you dont give any ideas hypocrite much. the only other way i can see to fight them is the whole scanlation community dont release anything for months since they would get no traffic therefore no money but will that ever happen i dont think so. then the other route is more gray, you try to overload their server therefore breaking or try ways to bring down their site sooooooooooooo yeah WMing sounds a lot better to me atm <.<
immersive experience <== what ur just saying your too lazy or u want to have it now. If you want an truely "immersive experience" u can just wait a couple of days but most leechers are whiny/impatient brats and can't wait a couple of days to get UN-WM version.

I havent had that much of a problem with WM at all so idk why its a problem in general and from what you say everyone dislikes WM since it pulls them out their zone which is not true since im also a reader.
Your making assumptions which annoys me, at least put some/most readers, I dont like being grouped with certain people when im not part of the group.
If I want an "immersive experience" ill just read it normally by buying which I do if I really like the series.
Most of the people are just complaining about WM from A-team and Japanzai IMO cause all of other groups do it very small or very un-noticeable. But both groups release UN-WM later so I dont see the major problem with those two.
What annoyed me the most is you say there are other ways to fight NOEZ but you dont give a single suggestion, at least give an idea even if its over the top but you dont which just makes you sound like hypocrite just saying.
All in all im probably flaming you since you talk like you know what's right when there isnt really a right or wrong thing in WMing, Did i say WMing is a good/bad thing, no. It's just as long as i get to read the manga that isn't sold in my area or isnt translated I'm happy why can't other people be just happy from that? Why do they need more than that, just why can't they be happy with what they got? ( I blame capitalism/consumerism =P (jking sort of))

» ZL11 on February 13th, 2012, 7:48am
SO, why do scalators try so hard to control things?
*sigh* I mean, isn't it exhausting to do that for every release, all the time? And to blow gaskets and threaten to decamp because someone (random leecher) broke ranks and posted it on mangafox or where ever? (I find this extremely childish.)
I don't get this endless effort to stamp everything. It feels like third graders putting their names on everything so their little sister doesn't get it or something. It feels like stress and effort that I could put into real issues in my real life, rather than flipping out because the Internet crowd fails to obey me. Hell, if it's about obeisance, just being a scanlator is the first step into that crack of hypocritical hell. Who are we obeying by taking other's works and reworking it, then getting indignant at others for doing the same? We don't obey the law, who are we to get angry at others for not listening? Because it's OUR law, and not some faceless company's?
Well, I really don't care either way. I don't read works by groups I find really watermarks really annoying on. There are hundreds and hundreds of titles out in the world WITHOUT the watermark, and I can live quite well without those titles. If I REALLY need to read something, screw it. I'll buy the book.
Seriously, to quote Serenity, "You can't stop the signal." If you really don't want it floating on the Internet waves, don't ever let it leave your hands. That's the best control mechanism ever.
» RiK.dfs on February 13th, 2012, 9:26am
And I fully endorse following the groups rules. If someone if they just don't want it posted by others....or want that timeframe then fine. If someone really has a problem following those rules by the group......then don't read their release.....read from another group.
It's not hypocritical. And following their rules is a simple sign of respect for the group who has taken the time and effort to scanlate it.

Yeah, guys, you're all giving us manga/anime fans such a stellar reputation. Keep up the good work.
Besides, many watermarks are quite nicely designed and you can tell thought went into it. I'd be happy to see large watermarks on all the free manga on the internet.

But I really don't get it people. Why the hell are you arguing over whether or not the manga should be watermarked?
Mangafox is in no position to watermark anything, that's for sure. But the scanlators? If they want to watermark something to show that the scanlation is free/that it is translated by them, go ahead.
To those few sitting on their pedestrals commenting about how scanlations should not be obstructed by watermarks, regardless or how big or small they are, seeing as it is meant to be read. NEWSFLASH PEOPLE, the scanlators are under no obligation to translate for you. Most of them do it as a hobby. They have their own lives out of the internet as well, you know?
They can just as easily wipe their hands off the whole thing and say, "Mangafox is making money out of something that I spent so much time on? Screw this." Then pack their bag, walk off, close their website and break up the team. And we would be up a shit creek without a paddle.
Please keep this in mind when you think you have the rights to criticise/dictate how some teams does their scanlations.
