Hello everyone, it about time for an update on the hunt for forum moderators and tag reviewers.

First off, thank you so much to everyone who applied for either position! The site has grown quite a bit since its conversion to a reader and it was long overdue to admit our small ragtag group could've used a few more rags.

Our priority when initially making the post was on forum moderation, and it's still actively going now. We have taken on Soga Lisa as a forum moderator after some evaluation time, and are currently working with beeaggro for their evaluation period. If things go well, then we will likely cease additional moderator recruitment with the two additional personnel.

We're working on an additional resource to coincide with taking on tag reviewers. Once we confirm forum moderation is in a good place and the new resource is workable, we'll proceed with taking on volunteers for helping clear through our tag request queue. A lot of understanding of our tags has been on vibes from institutional knowledge, which potentially leads to disagreements or confusion when applying them. The resource should help people better interpret what tags mean and what they're meant for, with a more fleshed out definition than the little blurb that accompanies them on their pages.

Y'all are getting quite wild, moreso than usual. This series kinda invites the craziness, but if we're going to turn this into modern-day political fan-fiction, well don't! Put that into AO3 or something.
And also at the very least, do not use the f-slur here, leave that at 4chan. Temporary suspension.

This should come as no surprise as it is long overdue.
Tags go through constant churn and our team is just too small and too busy to reasonably keep up without OrangePekoe coming in with the hail mary a few times a year. As of this post there's 862 tag requests in waiting!
The forums have long had a caustic reputation, but it's clearly taken a disgusting turn with uptick in anti-trans rhetoric and we need the extra eyeballs to help correct the ship.

There are a few hard requirements for both positions:

• Be fluent in English. Doesn't matter if English is your first or fourth language as long as you're fluent in it because you're going to be reading a lot (you've certainly seen some essays posted by some regulars in here) to determine if anything is actionable. We're also English-only speakers so not having communication foibles is critical as well.
• Discord (or if we end up moving to something like Flux down the line, whatever it ends up being) is mandatory as well for live direct communication between us.

Additionally what we're looking for in a moderator:

• Be level-headed and understanding. Things get heated, both on the forums and frankly almost everywhere else on the internet, and you must be able to address any potential valid points being made on their merits rather than on reaction. Of course there should still be the need to discipline the OP themselves if they take things too far in their anger (with warnings or whatever feels necessary) but you must be able to parse through it first to see if there are validity to any claims.
• You're going to need to be familiar with both internet culture and LGBTQIA+ internet culture. Recognizing landmines associated with certain terms/phrases/behavior and understanding some people's upbringings that aren't your own will greatly help in preventing offenses from occurring by accident. Being knowledgeable of typical tactics employed by awful people such as dogwhistling or "just asking questions" will also be important to get people who understand our rules and use these ways to skirt offenses by word manipulation.

Additionally for tag reviewer:

• We expect inquiries to us or other people regarding important tag addition or removal (typically going to be yuri/subtext and spoiler tags) even if you're confident. We need to be able to trust you with such actions so we will want to be notified of those things, at least early on.

Post your username and desired position in our Discord in #forum-applications to be considered. We're going to be putting more of our focus on the moderator positions than tag reviewers as that's more important right now, but if you want to do both then that is also an option.

If you find that you don't want to do this anymore for any reason, please just let us know. Ghosting is incredibly common since this is the internet, but it'd be quite nice if you can just tell us with just a few words that you're out so we can go back to recruiting a replacement sooner instead of coming to the conclusion much later that we lost people.

We're absolutely very sorry that moderation has been in the gutter for a while in general and will be working towards getting that corrected, likely with additional personnel.

@Nya-chan: This has not been the first time you've pissed off various people, trans or not, with your attitude towards divisive topics, to the point where you're seen as a sealion. This has been going on for a long while on Pale Blue Color Saudade I wanted to make it clear that this nitpicky nature of discussion you only really seem to thoroughly engage in when it's about trans identity is quacking like a duck. Even if you're being entirely genuine, your consistency in pissing people off requires change.

And it's been made clear to us that Nya-chan is not the only one making topics involving trans identity dreadful or outright triggering, regardless of intention, and so this also serves as a visible warning to everyone else that this may apply too with possible line straddling or just asking questions.

Separately, there are also some vehement insisting on what a particular work is or means, and pushing/punching everyone else who doesn't understand your viewpoint away. This has also led to dead ends that result in all parties being frustrated and hurtful, and will also be dealt with at our discretion.

This is always going to be a bit delicate as it tends to involve very personal lived experiences that other trans people may or may not have had either, let alone anyone who's cis. I don't fault anyone reacting quite negatively to any perception of being denied their existence considering today's political environment worldwide, although I simultaneously do wish that possible misunderstandings wouldn't so quickly switch to immense hostility.

While it's far from optimal, the limitations of the forums system here makes it so that the best way to get ahold of us more quickly is to ping us on the discord or on bsky as it's easier to keep up with, especially during working hours which those platforms are easier to mask from prying administrative eyes.

Edit: The oneshot was removed by the scanlator themselves due to the quite negative results in this thread.

We will be address Kirin's issues talking to and about people separately. I don't believe he does it out of bigotry either, but his stubbornness can certainly send the wrong message.

Let's please otherwise stay on topic.

Pruning the thread a bit. People have already made it quite simple and clear why they may or may not consider certain actions or presumptions as pro or anti-whatever. You don't have to agree and you don't have to nuts about your disagreements.

You people are forgetting they're Japanese people, and Japanese society would rather let a murderer go scott free than allowing such scandalous murder to disturb society.
So Makoto won't even be accussed and the police will claim that dad died due to an allergic reaction to the food. Marie will know deeply inside but she will refuse to accept the truth because she's too vapid to entertain the notion of a parricide.

This is not an acceptable comment to be making. While you don't frequently post, you have a few that verge on weirdly extremist takes like this. I'm going to request that you stop this kind of shitty posting.

@omermia

Your previous verbiage before editing is duly noted so consider yourself on super thin ice with this seemingly "just asking questions" attitude going on here.

Fixed the order of the chapters.

Edit: and the page order of chapter 6

This is not the best place to discuss in essay-length about how a Japanese fighting game developer over the course of decades and several writers probably sucks ass at writing about gender issues in their arcade mode of their fighting game. This is not their first retcon and also isn't going to be their last.

Removed at the scanlator's request

This thread has gone way off topic. I'm going to lock this until further notice.

@PantyLee: Referring to people as the T-word is a slur and will not be tolerated. Do not do this again.

Pruning some posts in this thread as well.

Hello, Dynasty is run by only a handful of staff and now a bunch of regular uploaders, so tags will be inconsistent a lot of times but we do try to correct them when we find it and as time moves on and things change. Images are mostly staff-side with Dpf at the helm. yuri and subtext will continue to be a hot debate for years to come and as more uploaders are granted privilege they may have their own ideas, staff will still be around to try to shape the final result in the manner we deem appropriate.

As for this, I'm not the uploader of the image nor was I the one to tag it yuri or not for the other Mizuki pairings.
Tagging on Dynasty is to mainly help with searching. It's not to help provide anyone in real life with labels. You'll have NB people calling themselves lesbian/gay and others who will not label themselves as such. There is no hard definition as everyone has their own circumstances. In the end here we have to settle on something for the tags and we strive to have it make sense for the communities involved and to also help with searching of course.

@eromancer Look man, perhaps in your confusion you're not realizing it, but the manner of writing you wrote your initial posts came off not as confusion but as with some authority. Perhaps you meant it, perhaps you didn't. I'm going to tell you that I was irked all the same. If you intend on engaging for the intent of clarification or further context, I would say you should ask a question rather than providing further statements. This is why you were called being a "cis fuck" which, while of course rude and something we don't want to be proliferating on here too much either, was something you walked into without knowing by appearing to be another cishet guy in the world trying to talk in place of the minorities (I am also cishet, if that means anything).
Also as a side note yes, there are going to be people who embrace certain minority groups and exclude others with prejudice, even if they are also part of an endangered minority group themselves. It's an unfortunate fact of the world we live in.

@Perlen297 @skelly85 I'm not a Project Sekai follower so I'm going to take your words, as well as what is available in their wiki and such from my searches, as reason to look back at the other Mizuki pairings to tag with yuri.

I'm removing posts that refer way past current chapters and also rely on MTL of all things.

We will not be allowing for blaming the minor in grooming situations. I am hoping this month ban will aid in helping you realize how minors can't consent with adults XadarxBlack.

This isn't the place for personal quabbles with each other's gaming habits nor is this image thread the place for Genshin Impact. I will say that I recommend not equating someone's dislike of a game to an attack on your person. If you enjoy a game then enjoy the game; you don't need other people's input to continue enjoying it. Gacha games will get tons of dislikes fairly and unfairly that is just what it means to be a major gacha game.

@thechampionmike95 The argument was inherently about bisexuality, without anyone using the term, even if the image wasn't tagged as such. I've added the tag now as I had no idea about the context of the series to confidently add or remove tags prior as tagging is handled by only so many.

Pruned some comments and handed out some temporary removals. This yuri purity shit because bisexuals exist is not welcome.

last edited at Nov 30, 2024 9:34PM

This argument has gone on long enough. People are allowed to enjoy "crumbs", whether old or young. For all this talk about not being anti-bi, y'all sure are keen on making sure that it can't be classified as real yuri in any context because they may also like a dude sometimes while liking each other too. I'm sure it's unsatisfying for y'all that it's not just women in the series but this purist shit is incredibly annoying.
There will be no more talk in that regards. Shit on it being from a harem series all you want, there will be no bi-erasure here.

You are all free to have your opinions, however being anti-bi is not going to be one of them, okay?

Linked to the site all official-like. Going to try to post to it more than our Twitter one (ie. more than never) but no guarantees there.
Death to Twitter.

Those two points are in our long list of wants for changes to the site, but we have no time frame for when that will happen.

Download link fixed

They were placed in an anthology volume alongside two other stories. Couldn't tell you why only these were selected.
Thank you for the information; I'll try to incorporate that in the description of the series and probably tag them all duplicates
