I was infact sad that you guys had to go through this frustration and even tried to give a small suggestion since alot of scanlation teams ised placeholders to keep out bots uploads, if that’s not good then… ignore?? You don’t be rude about it

Proper translations make a world of difference and I appreciate the human effort that goes into this. I mean it when I see that wording and sentences are wonky, it turns me off from even the best stories.
Your work is appreciated. I hope the bad intentions of one individual doesn't paint how the rest of us feel about passionate translators.

Of course. They are misdirecting their anger at you guys, which just makes them look bad unfortunately, completely misreading your comments. Genuinely a placeholder will help them and will keep annoying extra uploader’s away, experiencing this now proves this is a good time to make one and start.
It’s unfortunate but thats just the norm now, especially when a lot of uploaders are actually just bots, and other scanlation teams have explained that placeholders stop the bots automatically uploading the chapters too. It isnt victim blaming in the slightest, people are trying to help and readers are usually always on the side of the og good quality translators unless they did something rude, weird and/or brash to warrant it.
Someone else uploading a chapter is NOT the readers fault and it is unfair to take out frustration on them as such.

Hey, I think you’re all reading anger into something I’m saying which isn’t there. I’m not taking anything out on anyone. I’m saying that the suggestion isn’t a good one. I know they’re trying to help but what I’m saying is the issue isn’t that we didn’t use a placeholder, it’s that people aren’t patient. Please don’t put words in my mouth or prescribe emotions to me that aren’t being expressed

There’s no anger coming from me, genuinely. Please don’t make out that I’ve been unreasonable.
Placeholders wouldn’t have helped in this situation. A placeholder is usually used to stop bots uploading chapters. I’m this case a human being uploaded a chapter. A placeholder wouldn’t necessarily have stopped that.

I’m always being misread as rude, it’s pretty upsetting to come back to this site and find people calling me mean and rude and telling me not to take stuff out on people and I especially don’t like the thought that me being misinterpreted “makes the whole team look bad”.
My point was that the problem isn’t that we didn’t use a placeholder. That’s what I meant by victim blaming, it’s like if a woman is assaulted and people tell her she shouldn’t have worn a short skirt. The problem here is that this other uploader was impatient, and they didn’t contact us first. It wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular, it was aimed at anyone suggesting or thinking it, that’s why I didn’t specifically reply to anyone, I just posted it as a general reply so people would stop suggesting it, cause it’s not useful.
im just gonna copy and paste this again because im actually done with mangago users and people that just upload over us. this is the SECOND TIME ON THE SAME MANGA that someone has uploaded over us and i am this close to just quitting scanlation as a whole. I know you readers dont gaf about where you read or the quality of it or even if the translations are right but please just respect scanlation team's AND MY TEAM's TIME FFS.
Hello, I'm the uploader for Discarding the Misfit Collar. Another user has posted chapter 6. I am not sure if you all are new to scanlation, but it is a general code of honor and assumed rule that others do not upload over the current uploader, especially if they are working on the project and have been actively updating the series.
My team and I been working on chapter 6, and it hasn't even been that long since the most recent chapter, so please be patient. Please do not upload over us. As a reader, I do understand that you want to read it asap, but it is very rude to upload over us and is extremely, extremely demotivating. Things like this just makes us want to quit.
If you could, could you please delete the chapter? Thank you. We are happy to have you work on the 6.5 if you'd like.
Sincerely,
Morse
