  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Rule 3 Addendum - Translations of Others' Works

>Man quotes my first sentence out of context, then snobbishly repeats half of each of my own points back to me as if it's a rebuttal.

Seriously, the only difference is that you were flavoring them with a thinly veiled standard set of Rule 7 salt. If this is the way things are gonna go, it might be time to finally lock the thread.

*shrug* the last cache nonclearance started around the same time so I assumed they were related. More fool me I guess.

The cache hadn't been cleared for years prior to Imgur having issues, Imgur broke when we changed server hosts. Not clearing the cache isn't something that would have been detectable from the other side.

Did I miss something? I have not been active here lately but I only knew a total of 1 translated story.

I think I was mostly referring to the stuff you'd find on Webnovel and Wattpad, Webnovel is known to have a lot of Chinese translated content with broken grammar. It's been like a month since I was on the same train of thought.

Having to reading a pre-teen Tsunade telling a friend of her's to called her uncle 13 times over the course of 4 chapter did a number on my sanity.
 
Good. The site called webnovel itself is over filled with shitty translations of fanfics. I am glad to see this site won't have the same problem.

Novelupdates doesn't even seem to link to sites hosting the works anymore, or give any actual links to translator sites. Or at least they changed their layout slightly from when I used it years ago because it's fucking worthless now.

You just have to make an account there and login in order to see the links. It is very confusing that they don't directly state that on the front page nor by where the links would originally be.

Dudes, this is neither a quest nor a story thread. Even though it is technically about story translations. Necro rules do not apply.

Okay…? Mods themselves have already mentioned considering locking this thread in earlier posts. This is about rules that have already been put in place for said translations, yes. Why is there a need to continually discuss it though? Months after the fact even.

to be fair he cleared up a misconception and even in regards to necro rules this would have its reason for being commented.

Not only is this a necro, it's a necro giving an answer that's been given about 40 times in the thread so far since my post.

He read through the thread enough to find my post, but not enough to see that it was, in fact, answered multiple times within the next 15 pages.
