Mangadex have a political issue against my group scanlations, they purposefully pick and chose chapters from my group to keep but they delete the new ones I posted on the site, where I encourage people to find our community (which does not compete with them in any way), but they have hundreds of other chapters from my group.

They do that to favor the certain another group that has stolen my chapters before. I want to denounce them here. Mangadex will delete your scans just for political reasons, they aren't here to serve the scanlation community, they are here to serve themselves.

I have to post there because is the only way to verify my own uploads: the latest chapters that have been snubbed for no reason are:

Yuenchi Baki Gaiden chapter 4
Grappler Baki 202
Baki dou 156, 157, 158

Of course, you can find them in other sites that rip from mangadex like mangakalot (I'm not gonna point you there, but do a google search on the titles, also they are verified here in this site.

for that sole reason, I'm denouncing mangadex for being bias about other groups and their practices.

What you're forgetting:

1. What's the name of your group.
2. What have you and MangaDex spoken about previously?
3 How did you come to this conclusion on your own? have you seen other groups being targeted?
4. When did this start happen?
5. why do you think this is happening to you & your group? (don't like us?) is a pretty vague answer).

These are some of the key aspects i think you lack in your post. There are more however, as your statment claims, "Mangadex have a political issue against my group scanlations" you need some more than "i feel like.." or "i think".

You speak about "They do that to favor the certain another group that has stolen my chapters before", What do you consider stolen?

It seems your chapters were removed without even being replaced. E.g. chapters 3 & 4 are missing here: https://mangadex.org/title/30625/yuenchi-baki-gaiden

Regardless of your infamy in the community, this is indeed a questionable practice. If I'm just a leecher who doesn't care about all this scanlation drama, what am I supposed to do when chapters are simply missing?

Have you asked Mangadex for an explanation?

Also, looking at their rules, are you possibly in violation of any of the following?

Quote
Content

Do not combine several chapters into a single release.
Chapters that were arbitrarily split up by the scanlators may be recombined into singular whole chapters.
Otherwise, if you are not part of the scanlation group, do not alter the release you are uploading by any means such as removing, editing, or adding pages.
Obtrusive watermarks are not allowed.
Always upload releases from the highest possible quality source, which is usually the scanlator's website. Do not upload highly compressed and watermarked releases from aggregators, unless there is absolutely no other option.
Only partially uploading releases with the intention to lure users to your site for the other chapters is not allowed. Either upload all chapters, or don't upload any.

naah, I'm banned, is okay. I just wanted to clarify that they're giving priority to other groups for manga that I already finished. There's no argument here, maybe they have their side and I don't agree with it.
this is just information I'm providing to this site. Not that it will matter.

Huh. Maybe don't glory in making everyone hate you and then people won't hate you?

Btw, Ichido, I can't find your version of Kengan. Would have loved to have read it.

Can you point me to it?

Had to make an account just to clear up this nonsense. To anyone on the fence about this, let me tell you that Ichido's chapters weren't deleted because of staff bias, they were deleted because he was posting chapters with this alt account to circumvent an upload restriction ( https://mangadex.org/user/124836/strahlgrowl ). The staff had put an upload restriction on Ichido due to his repeated harassment of readers and other scanlators inside the uploads themselves, which in turn was a clear attempt to circumvent the other restriction he had received, a permanent forum and comment ban. Ichido received his forum ban because he had repeatedly violated rule 5.1 - Be Civil in the forums and the comments of Baki Dou (exhibit A: https://mangadex.org/chapter/444837/comments exhibit B: https://mangadex.org/chapter/446803/comments ). Believe me, there's more where that came from.

Once the alt account was discovered, the staff of course delivered their ultimatum and had him banned. Those chapters were deleted because the staff had explicitly removed his privilege to upload and he was very clearly circumventing it. It was not bias or political nonsense, Ichido had acted in contempt of the rules consistently throughout the previous months to a degree that was indefensible.

Ichido had been in contempt of rules 2.3.2, 3.2.6 5.1 and 5.2 ( https://mangadex.org/rules ). Talk to the MD staff and they will confirm all the things i have mentioned here. Ichido is a liar and a troll and he does not deserve yours or anyone's sympathy.

ElGensai: did you mention you guys have been snooping on my PMS inside the site? pretty much demanding that I release all my chapters for free?

Mangadex is a totalitarian manga site from India and they don't care about anything else because that's how miserable they are!!!

you Indians will do anything and con anybody to get money and not let anybody else benefit in your manga pig site.

@Lightysnake: I gave up on Kengan since the chapters sped up amazingly, I was really looking forward to take a crack on Ohma but what can you do, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I'll move on to unreleased things instead.

Two things:
1. While indeed the site is tainted by default due to it being run by Loos (If true), they're still a far cry from being worse than the Chinese (EVERYONE in Asia has a bone to pick with them).
2. You're an even bigger jackass than they are, Mr. "I don't post full volumes for free". Why the Hell are you even involved with scanlations? Everyone using them is a filthy pirate (I dare someone to refute this), so why the Hell would you expect people to pay for them when we don't even pay for the official "localizations" in the first place?

Lmao, "you Indians?" Holy shit with the racism.

Oh, man. You didn't get to do Kengan after all the shit you were talking? And so Wildfang ends with the whimper it deserves. You won't be missed. By anyone.

Ichido, you suck. Your scans suck, you suck, and you're always gonna suck.

Lightysnake, one day, pick one of your favorite manga series that is untranslated, something that has a lot of volumes, say more than 35 volumes, no, better yet, something standard. About 25 or so.

And make it, scan it, translate it, edit it, check it and spend the 20-25 hrs of work for each of those volumes in it, until then, you will be blind to see that is pure heart and passion what drives people to make the dreams that they have.

Wild fang ended because there's no more for me to do. It was a beautiful and natural end because I promised everybody that it was going to be like this. People fighting to read more and to find more of this thing called "Grappler Baki" I finished all the series, all my sponsors are happily owning all the manga up to the last 4th series. I suck, yes, I was always the bad guy, man. But that's in the eyes of strangers. It's too late to "be a member" and to "pay money" to join the WFP because we already had our final party. We all said goodbye and thank each other for a job well done. May I remind you that the sponsoring for BAKI (the Netflix series) came from the USA? The anime from a manga that I finished 15 years ago, In a time that nobody knew what Baki was. My nickname will always be attached to "the guy that brought Baki to the rest of the world" My manga version are flooding youtube, people are discussing about scripts I wrote and my medals are in this page, in the "release list" of the Wild Fang Project. So, I'm really sorry you couldn't join my group for the 25.00 dollars back in 2003, probably you were a baby then. But is okay man, is here for you. Make this old man a favor and release "Shishi no mon" or "Karate baka ichidai" or something enjoyable to read.

I experience something strange, the more you release, the more pissed off people are at you, so I pissed them on purpose. I released chapters way ahead of the current release out of order, to make it interesting, to make it like a "goose chase" It was a fun game for me, but it was that, a fun game.

In all seriousness, I was going to steal "Kengan" from hokuto no gun, damn, it was going to be great. I'm envious of the fact that they got almost 7 guys and fast release it. Man, I wanted to be one of those guys, I even had a team of dudes ready to tackle it. I can't win all my battles, but the ones I won (Ending Shamo, ending all the Baki series, ending Garouden) feel damn sweet.

Here's for you man, carry it into the future, if you're so pissed off at me, awesome, make something much better than the wild fang, I'll be there to read it. Until then, Cheers, there's one more book for me to do, 8th of January and I'll fade away.

@Transdude: [why the Hell would you expect people to pay for them when we don't even pay for the official "localizations" in the first place?]

Oh, man, how wrong you are. There are people that pay, but they expect something very good in return. I'm talking: information, updates, full volumes translated and delivered about 2 weeks from the Japanese release. Quality stuff in the form of home scanned volumes, Japanese translators etc.

I never ran a scanlation group, I ran a Baki fan community and without money, you would have not seen the obscene list that the Wild Fang Project has in this site, verified.

You know how much people paid? 25 bucks A YEAR!! FOR 15 VOLUMES!!! come on, man. First, they accused me that I wanted to steal their money and when they saw it done, they accused me that I didn't do it for free, it's a battle that I'll never win.

People were used to pay for vhs videotapes too, remember that era? yeah, I was a fansubber of that time and made my own fansubs to get some funding for my projects. It is not a new system but it worked for me. You might not find my vhs subs cause all is digital now, but back then I easily pulled 300-400 dollars per projects for funding, subbing, making vhs tapes etc. An era long gone.

Well, I'm outta here, have fun with the google translated manga era.

Archive all of ichido's bullshit for everyone to see, ladies and gentlemen, before he has the chance to scrub it. There are very rare times that you will ever see someone this full of themselves.

Oh, so all your supporters consist of the retards that populate Leddit, Discord, and Resetera. Good to know.
Quote from ichido reichan

Yeah, right. There's dozens of other groups that do the same shit, and then some, FOR FREE, and they've been doing it FOR YEARS.

I didn't even know who the Hell you, or what the Hell "Baki" even was, until you came here whining that you're being "silenced".

No, I was born after the generation. However, I have talked to numerous people from that era and they make no hesitation for calling out how much of a bunch of fags those people were due to there being groups, even back then, who proved that shit FOR FREE and only asked that you provide the tape.

That explains why you're such a stupid montherfucker. You're upset that people aren't putting up with your bullshit any longer. While people love to look back and criticize companies like ADV, at least they paid for the right to distribute all of their shit.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
However, that doesn't mean a damn thing because I trust these companies as far as I can throw them, and I know that funding them isn't going to result in the creator seeing a penny of my money as a result.

You're just so held up on your God complex that you think people should be grateful that you spent a whopping $50 for a passion project and expecting something in return from it, when that's never been true. And, people spending up to 10-20 times as much are doing it FOR FREE with an ounce of some selfrespect. A lot of people, including me, do hate on how retarded some scanlation teams can be with their views and methods, but we can agree that even they never had the gull to demand for money for their shit.

You're going after the Mangadex because it's run by a bunch of Pajeets, yet you're even worse. You're acting like the most yellow-skinned, bug-eyed bastard I have ever seen. Perhaps you may even have some Chinese blood in your system. Maybe, you even are Chinese. In that case:
1989年6月4日
六四事件
八九民运
六四天安門事件.

Alright, bye.
