Yeah that picture seems too real.
Things happened at a crazy fast pace if it's true though.

Which chapter it is? I want to check.
It's not from an episode, it's from the gag preview for volume 9, at the end of the book (page 188).
And it's all explained (along with the fact

They aren't fucking fake. I didn't post anything fake. Theres pics and a summary on /a/. Are you always such a jerk?
See above.
Guess I'm not fond of trolls. It really isn't the first time you post fake shit like that.

So am I. I thought he meant the Bleach spoilers with "fake spoilers".
We use spoiler tags for the spoilers, not the actual releases.

Spoilers =/= translations
Chihayafuru Vol 1-2
This manga is so earnest.
The "chasing after a dream" and "coming of age" stories aren't anything new, but for all the (frequent) outpourings of emotions across these two volumes, the story is quite heartfelt. I don't know anything about karuta and the manga has managed to suck me in; it's interesting how a book of poems has been turned into a game.
Now I have like 18 volumes to catch up on...
Do you guys want a new spoiler policy? Might as well settle it out over the next 5000 posts.

Emma vol 5
These flashback chapters about William's parents were nice. At least they are not divorced and now we know from where William got his hate of high society. With the way the story is progressing someone is gonna end up with a bad ending. The viscount is a total douche and I don't think he will let the Jones family off easily if William just abandons the marriage plan and runs away with a maid.
Mori's art is progressively getting better, especially the characters. They don't have these odd looking faces anymore. The afterwords are still pretty fun to read and offer some good insight such as how Mori likes blonde gentlemen more or how she wants to wear a bunny tail out in public.

When people posts spoilers they should point out their source because there always fake spoilers flying around.
I saw it.

I like the idea of one thread to discuss all currently released manga without free of having to spoiler tag things. It only really creates issues in situations when a new anime adaptation of a manga comes out and a huge influx of people who only watch anime get spoiled by all the manga readers.
Look at attack on Titan, we have this thread to discuss the manga, the anime thread to discuss that, an attack on Titan OT that is pretty much just anime thread 1.5 with more people wanting to discuss the manga and pissing off anime only viewers, and a manga spoiler thread which was made so that manga users would stop posting spoilers in the Titan OT. It's an excessive amount of threads the just splits discussion. I also feel the only reason the anime thread makes ot's for every semi popular show is because the anime thread moves so fast it's almost impossible to discuss anything a problem we don't really have unless upandaway is tripping balls.
The only suggestion I can think of is what you see in my title. Maybe if you are posting about something that isn't the most recent chapter but would be considered spoilers put it in the title of your post. Again I feel spoilers are only ever an issue when an anime comes out or people like me (sorry) post too many pictures. As a whole I feel like the number of spoiler pictures has gone down. I don't want to feel like my ability to discuss manga freely without constant spoiler warnings in every other post is restricted whenever an anime adaptation starts or someone is marathoning a manga. Perhaps just a warning in the op that says "all manga discusses freely, if you are not caught up or are only watching an anime adaptation read at your own risk"
Just my thoughts on it

They're more distinctive than edit reasons.
Seconded. When the manga thread was first established, we hashed over stuff like this extensively. I thought the final agreement was bolded manga titles AND THAT'S IT. I don't remember ever seeing a spoiler tag in this thread, and I've found it happening with increasing frequency. These aren't literary masterpieces. These are comics and we really don't need to involve some of the lame spoiler-bitching that the rest of the forum has to endure, because we're a more savvy group. At least, that's what I used to think.
Besides, unspoilered translations have lead to some of this thread's greatest moments, like the sharingan tank.

True but at the same time thanks to attack on Titan anime there has been a lot of discussion about the series as a whole in this topic. Should every other post have
Attack on Titan spoilers
On the off chance an anime only watcher clicks this thread and reads it?

Nah, why make that exception? They come here at their own risk.
I actually really do like the spoiler policy in this thread. Makes it really hard to discover new series when people are too hesitant about describing them in depth.

I never read post titles. They're a gimmick, much like the "reason for edit" and some people here treat it as such.

I thought the reason is mainly because tons of non hardcore anime watchers want to discuss a series or people would like more direct and focused discussion. (one piece thread, JJBA one, titan, a few others).
At least when posts here are at least properly headlined and tagged then its easy to skip over a post, but well, people often dont do that or posts at the top of a new page be unmarked with the series...
That's sort of the point. I feel like even edit lines are too distinctive but if when I use email tags barely anyone gets to them
Hey now don't be disrespecting me with your quote antics.That's sort of the point. I feel like even edit lines are too distinctive but if when I use email tags barely anyone gets to them

Im quite sure I miss every single reason for edit, people reload the page and reread previously posted posts? Kind of too demanding and inconsiderate and inconvenient to others to post messages there.

Its the cover for the magazine that Aku no Hana and Attack on Titan are in. Having Nakamura on the cover tells me that we could be approaching "IT'S HAPPENING.gif" status very soon.
Yuyushiki is really fun. Henneko is pretty much what I expected from gunbo's hype haha. I wonder if Hataraku counts as moe.
Now you're misquoting me.
Nobody is arguing with this:
So I guess this is the only one that's settled? If you guys can agree on BassForever's suggestion I'll modify the spoiler rule in the OP.
You quoted the wrong post.

Just to be clear upandaway I was just joking around with that weird edit conversation up there.
I guess I've been posting too much fluff for a while now oh well, sorry guys. I've been trying to take a break until I catch up on manga again but I couldn't help it!
(also, i just realized that it was probably distasteful to reply to brot and DTL's edit line comments.. in an edit line. whoops)

Nah, it's fine. Everyone should participate anyway they want to. As long as they follow spoiler rules I guess.
Mori's ramblings about maids and bunny girls are the best thing ever, you cannot help but admire such strong and genuine enthusiasm for such delicate subjects.Emma vol 5

Yes to the "citing the source for spoiler" and "black bar before the actual release" policies.

Speaking of Mori, is Otoyomegatari on hiatus or something?

Giving the source for the spoilers is good. Dunno what's different about BassForever's suggestion than we already do. Don't most people already bold the title of the manga when they post about chapters not yet released?
The cover for Anything and Something makes more sense now.
Yeah, it was on break for one month.Speaking of Mori, is Otoyomegatari on hiatus or something?

Alright, good to know.
Also that reminds me that I should totally get her artbook.

Emma vol 6
Oh boy, almost all the chapters in this volume were named A Turn for the Worst. Things really got bad for almost every major character. Poor Eleanor ;_;
The lead up sequence to the kidnapping event was well done. Mori really captured the feelings of having to wait for something important while being distracted by work. Then we get to the actual kidnapping scene with the creepy and dark atmosphere. The afterword for this volume was pretty funny too. Mori explained why the kidnapper looked like an evil colonel of Santa Claus. Also reading this volume reminded me, what the hell was the point of Hakim? The guy did absolutely nothing after asking Emma out and getting rejected. He just sat in William's house lazing around and not contributing anything to the story. I even forgot he was in the manga until I saw him near the end.

While looking around for manga covers, Maison Ikkoku really got my attention. I know from impressions here it's likely a romance story full of misunderstandings and bad pacing, but I have to read it.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
This is a super simplistic argument that doesn't really say anything about Shingeki. The author deserves a certain number of chapters to establish the story in whatever way he sees fit. Saying that he should have told you from the beginning that people were titans is straight up whining.
E: It's even more silly when you add in the fact that since this "bait-n-switch" occurs so early, people were at liberty to stop reading it, but then didn't.

Shouldnt it be reworded or at least add emphasis to the spoiler tag leaks/transl?
