I kind of agree with this. Thankfully I'm not a huge fan of this series now so I can live not reading it forever but I really feel bad for the fans who really followed the rules and by even flagging that update and redirecting readers to the scanlators tumblr and now I read that the scanlator made his tumblr private.. poor fans. :/ Anyways I also understand scanlators we really have no right to complain, they sacrificed time, effort, money just to share this wirh fellow fans so they have the right to make their rules. :/ ugh
I'm a huge fan of the manga but I will be willing to wait for the scans. I've been a part of a scanlation group before but it was always about sharing it to the whole fandom and make fellow fans happy also, not thus ego-tripping drama we have right now.
I said goodbye to itsdaletos the moment he said "final warning". I agree that people should respect the translator, but among a crowd there will ALWAYS be a few assholes. It's literally impossible to keep a scanlation that has been made public on their website only. Of course I'm grateful and all but if you truly wanted to scanlate a licensed series without getting caught, you should do it another way. If it was me I would upload the chapters on manga sites in a way it cannot be tracked and leave a credits page, but I would not give out any info to find me anywhere else.
Thankfully, I'm not too big of a fan of SIH I don't mind waiting for a long time for someone else to scanlate the new chapters (I'm 99.99% sure this will happen). But I feel bad for the fans who really like it.
