    If the translators update the site with a chapter number even without the chapter content NU will show it as being updated.
    NU bots search through each site in its directory every five minutes and updates it accordingly. So fault of translator not site.
    Doesn't happen for teasers of next chapter though.

    So what happens here is while the translation is being created locally , the relevant RSS entry in feed is created and published as well. So it's the fault of local CMS (content management system). The NU queries RSS feeds.
    The solution - somewhere on CMS the RSS feed published after additional confirmation/whatever

    its not the chapter, its just a post about the chapter being translated but not edited:
    "As usual, I’ll post it here once our editor friend is done with his part."

    So yes basically what I said.
    "V4C19 got updated yet the Chapter isn't even out yet but in the middle of being edited yet its Notified me already in NU? Like why?"
    Point being it shouldn't get updated in NU.

    If you see fake chapters or releases that's not supposed to be a chapter, use this to report them:

    Oh it's because bots rip their stories off their site and repost elsewhere, even the disclaimer that it's incomplete and where to read the complete version too. So they give out a clearly and intentionally inferior product then edit in the superior ones a few hours later.

    The thing that happens is someone is editing the post, then accidentally publishes it and then unpublishes it.
    Problem is that it gets pushed to the rss feed.
    And if it gets picked up there before the rss feed is updated, then it gets posted on NU.

    ...the real reason is cause that specific translator likes making update posts that say when the chapter will come out and the bot picks that up.
