What if we could add a series to one of our own lists that doesn't get approved to be added to the database.
For example I can't add The Beginning After the End to the site because "OEL webcomics aren't allowed to be listed". So why can't just have a special insert to my list with the name/chapter/rate so that I can keep track of it.

I can't agree more with you .

But It's also true that it would make it posible for almost any comic the be published here and so on...
Though I think that adding certain high quality series would benefit the site. I mean it's pretty odd not having UnOrdinary or TBATE ,but having some godforsaken manga that was axed.
It even gets weirder when it's published on an Asian company/ drawn by an Asian, but since it's published/ drawn elsewhere its a no go.

I really think they should be added as exceptions since the target audience ,drawing style ,and even publisher are sometimes the same as many other mangas/media posted in this site. Maybe there should just be a forum post to limit the number of additions (with the exception at the beginning and discussions or pols weather to add a series).

That's interesting! I think a lot of users would appreciate it. It reminds me of Steam letting you add shortcuts to non-Steam games to your lists of games.
