    I'm sure you've seen those 'locked' (adwalled) icons around Novel Updates. Well, you knew this was coming if you've seen those icons. You can now also filter out those adwalled chapters from NU.

    You can remove adwalled chapters from...
    Basically, just check everything if you want those chapters removed sitewide. You can check out the new feature here -> Release Filtering (You can access it via the right sidebar or mobile menu). I know it's not the prettiest design so please deal with it for now. I'll redesign that page once I have time.

    Going back to those 'locked' icons. There's a bot going around tagging those releases automatically. The bot will then again go back and recheck them every ___ hours and remove the locked icons once the chapters are no longer locked. I'm currently testing this so it's no where close to perfect.

    Since I'm here, I would like to state that NU has always accepted adwalled chapters. Yes, before this whole drama. What we don't accept are app-walled releases which was the main reason Qidian releases were removed back then. I get that you're pissed at Qidian and it's clouding your judgement but come on...
    1. Qidian drama -> Users complaining about wanting group filtering -> http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/exclude-group-feature-is-live.43038/ (I stayed up late to finish that feature in a few hours after the flood of complaints)
    2. Qidian drama again about adwall releases -> Lots of users complaining -> http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/adwall-release-filtering-is-live.46358/ (Yup, that's this thread. I finished the locked icon + this feature in about a day or two)
    Well, whatever, it doesn't bother me. It's hilarious at this point :blobpopcorn:. It's bothering another mod (which shall remain anonymous) more than it should so I figured I should at least say something.

    Do you seriously think I'm being paid by _________ with the timing of these features? I'm just trying to do whatever I think is best for NU and it's users. I'm listening and responding (with features) to the complaints as best as I can but I'm the only developer developing NU and it's not like I can just instantly throw out features at will. It takes time for these things and I also have a lot of other things going on. Don't worry, I know it's just a small misinformed group so I'm not mad, bothered or care about it but I felt I should at least say something.

    Wow, wall of text... if you survived that wall of text, thanks! :blobtriumph:
