Been using baka-updates for a while now, great site to find out when something is updated.
That is if people actually post the releases.

First time here on the forum and have a question.

When posting new releases it says:

Some groups have been doing individual chapters as individual releases. DO NOT do this unless they have individual bittorrent links. If you've released 4 chapters, just put, for example, Vol6 1-4 instead of having 4 separate releases.

does this mean that if I were to go an put in all those released I should group up releases from the same day even if they are separate pages? Should I group up releases that are days apart since I would otherwise be flooding the releases for that manga?
Am I even posting this question in the right subforum and if not which subforum should it be posted in?

If they've been released on the same day, then that's 1 entry. If they're different days, each gets its own entry

Another question, is there a way to remove current pending releases (not yet moderated)?
I have had some times where I refreshed at the screen after submitting a release which causes it to submit the same thing again.
Or should I just let mods handle it when they get to it?

We'll handle it

Yet another question, I have been seeing some releases that do not have a group listed as creating the chapter nor do I know what the source of it is if it is not just uploaded directly to the site.
Tried to use "No group given" for 2 overlord chapters this way but those were not approved.
How should I mark the group field for such releases or is there something else I need to do for releases like those?

This site only approves of releases from official groups. So releases by "anonymous" (as in an unknown person, not the actual group) are usually not listed at all here.

Basically any random dude could upload any random joke chapter to an aggregation site, so it won't be shown here. As far as I remember a valid release needs to be confirmed via the release group's website or something similar. No confirmed group means no chapter release on this site.

Is there anywhere to report bots or conversations in general?
Got a random message from a user with an offsite link today, user in question only joined an hour ago.
Could say the name here but would rather not as it could lead people to that offsite link as its in their signature too.

Thanks, we're dealing with it right now
