Don’t even put place holders if your incapable of remembering to replace them. That’s what place holders are, a promise you WILL come back and upload the chapter. Not the selfish “ my spot, my spot” sign that many uploaders seem to use it for in order to mark their territory. It’s all well and good if they actually do a proper job, but why boguard when you don’t plan to do a proper job. Because in my experience most uploaders/translators don’t even proof read or double check their uploads. It’s something that takes minimal time but can cause massive impact.
After reading this, one person complained because I ‘shouldn’t complain about translators ever’ as this is an illegal site and I should be grateful for it.
I don’t believe this person, who may or may not be a translator/uploader themselves, really read what I wrote properly as they have failed to grasp the point I was making if all they thought was that I was complaining about translation quality. They were clearly swayed by their own personal bias’ and it has left me quite annoyed to be told I’ve meant something I haven’t when it’s written there for everyone to easily read as many times as they want for clarification before hitting post.
So I have 2 points to clarify here:
Firstly, are you saying we can’t complain when there’s nothing there - that’s nothing, zero effort waisting both their own and everyone else’s time and effort by putting a place holder. Read specifics before getting overly defensive. This is the only one case I do think straight complaining about most translations/uploaders is fine, but this is not refered to or mentioned in my original comment.
Secondly, to clarify, when I complain about bad translations/uploads, my complaint isn’t about the bad translation/upload itself or the effort that was put into it. But instead my complaint was that they so proudly boguard (hog) the position to translate/upload a chapter by putting placeholders, therefore possibly preventing someone who actually wants to or is able to put more or better work into their translations/uploads.
