Red Hawk Scanlations Closed
(42 posts, 10589 views) Posted: over 8 years ago by PROzess in News
Funny thing, no one cares about the morality of early raws and the consequenes of the arrests.
Scanlation has been a grey zone ever since, but the raw competition for weekly series is outright illegal at this point.

I would say :
- discovering the raws on Mangalator encourages you to buy the manga in vo as soon as it is published in Japan.
- discovering the manga through the scantradteam encourages you to buy the manga when it is licensed in your country. .

If you let the mass decided, they will just want everything on this site for convenient sake.
The doujinshi were purged without a poll, too, so why bother now?

Scanlation is a progress that involves scanning, translating, cleaning and typesetting a manga (gonna ignore QC for now).
Mangalator clearly ignores the last two (three) and thus shouldn't be qualified to be a scanlation group, consequently removing them from here.

Well, the owner isn't forcing anybody to translate for him, nor is he going around trying to recruit people to do so. It's technically a "community effort" since there are actually people who volunteer their time to translate on the site.

That would be the best course of action.
But that would require two things:

2) Someone is willing to take lead of the other site.

I only judge manwha and manhua as complementary, since it's the same medium.
If novels were to be counted it, the line would be too vague and any kind of literature piece from Asia would have to be accepted. Total chaos.
Each medium its own site or it'll get too confusing.

That's only counting the series entries.
But if you take the actual release count into account, novels (or rather web novels) will have a far higher percentage.
And their release frequencies is what distorts the stats and clocks up the release page.
