    What's going on?

    For example, I can't make a reply on these threads:

    Web author makes $16.7 mil USD a year
    How does Munpia work?
    Syosetu and Patreon: Perfect match?
    Qidian filed hundreds of civil lawsuits against websites that infringed its rights
    Would QidianEnglish be successful by offering $0.03 per chapter?
    Congrats to Gravitytales English Authors

    Look like I make threads that are deem not appropriate to talk about on NUF.

    Web author makes $16.7 mil USD a year
    How does Munpia work?
    Syosetu and Patreon: Perfect match?
    Qidian filed hundreds of civil lawsuits against websites that infringed its rights
    Would QidianEnglish be successful by offering $0.03 per chapter?

    so the Mod removed my ability to reply.

    It is consider spamming if I talk about the business side of web novel. I thought this is a discussion forum for web novels. I guess not!

    I think the problem is here it sounds like you're trying to monetize fan translations and the web novel community even more so than it already is. Not many people take kindly to that.

    So it is not okay to have an unpopular view? So because people don't like my viewpoint, NUF should silence me by not letting me post?

    What Qidian and Munpia is doing should be celebrated because it allows for thousands of authors to be able to write full-time.

    It is doing wonder for Chinese and South Korean authors.

    If such a thing exist for English language web authors, it should be celebrated. Patreon is a step in the right direction --- allowing some web authors to generate some income. Hopefully, with many more to come.

    There are not many English language writers on this forum...
    You should take this to English writers forums like RoyalRoad, Wattpad or FanFiction.net instead,
    This is a Forum for mainly Translations Novel not English language web fiction.
    We don't create the novels, only translate them. It's a different kind of field.

    This is a web novel forum is it not?

    My threads talk about the business side of web novels (Qidian, Munpia, Syosetu etc...)

    Web author makes $16.7 mil USD a year
    How does Munpia work?
    Syosetu and Patreon: Perfect match?
    Qidian filed hundreds of civil lawsuits against websites that infringed its rights
    Would QidianEnglish be successful by offering $0.03 per chapter?



    Because it is an unpopular viewpoint, it should not be allowed to posted? Isn't that censorship?

    What rules did I break exactly? I'm still unclear on that.

    The threads I created are not advertisements or spam.

    I'm just talking about the business side of web novels.

    If you want to talk about x. By all means. Talk about x. I dont like censorship, but I dont run this forum. If the mods decide to silence you, thats their choice.

    Though, you sound exactly the same as that one other person from the past. MikeR.

    1. You started this specifically when mods were offline. Suspicious
    2. You are either trying to start up a business or part of an active business. Suspicious
    3. You are trying to gather people who would pay you. Suspicious
    4. Suspicious
    5. You are doing market research and soliciting potential customers. Suspicious
    The broken rule:
    You posted a lot of these threads, in a suspicious copy pasted manner.
    Spam: "Irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients."
    You argue that novel discussion is relevant. It is. You are discussing business though, not novels.

    Look here, the translators didn't write the novel so how are they supposed to make money off it? Buy the author's copyright? Most translators are only translating as a hobby so do you expect them to have the money to buy the author's copyright?

    @csgo:
    As our mod @Nom de Plume has mentioned, all of your threads are heavily business focused, not novel focused
    By looking at the thread names you have started, it feels that you have an interest of starting a business in novels and is in the gathering information stage.
    And if you are, you are asking in the wrong place since this place is a gathering of NOVEL TRANSLATIONS
    Not a lot of authors here to share their opinions

    Edit: I am actually curious if you read the novels here to begin with

    Too many threads for nearly the same subject over a short period, that is the spam part.
    Had you combined them all into one thread it would probably have been different.

    NUF, for a large part, does not accept content that is related to real money noor do we accept advertisement, recruitment, or market research type of thread that explicitly discuss real money reward. Similary, raffle or gifting thread that involve real money is banned from this forum. Previously another user have tried doing the same thing, and get banned for it. Our stance has never changed, and I doubt it will.

    Another reason is explained in post above:
    If you want to gather opinion and information about english author, it would be better for you to go to wattpad and royal road.
