    I guess CN Censorship is still using humans to manually sniff out the text/lines/paragraphs in violation to the censorship laws?

    Example of violation: Advocating Constitutional monarchy (君主立宪制) (Just google the HK separatist/independence movement)

    A couple of author/artists got perma-banned from the industry and their works cancelled, example: http://www.dm5.com/manhua-yilingba/ (HK manhua on reimagined version of Water Margin Heroes) by advocating that Constitutional monarchy is the best government system.

    However, another CN Novel author (Don's Adventure in Another World, 唐寅在异界) who wrote that "Constitutional monarchy is the best government system" (and has an equivalent manhua running) managed to get away scot-free.

    They're just not popular enough to be noticed by those big dudes, I guess.

    The real problem is there is still time, they can get removed or heavily edited in future. True a lot of people would of already read them but future readers or those who wish to go back and read it again will not be able to too or get the same experience as it was originally created in. Anyway I know of God of Slaughter, the author got a way with a lot but also wrote some hardcore stuff on another site and added in a secret link to it in the full stops where it left off or at the end of the novel. Away only those that knew about would read it but eventually it got reported, not only did they remove the links and the other website, they also heavily edited the novel and the stuff that was already written, they gutted the novel and it became a shell of what it was.

    Funny thing was that the author/artist of http://www.dm5.com/manhua-yilingba/ got away with plagiarizing Jiraiya from Naruto and Hisoka from HxH but got caught for the "Constitutional monarchy" stuff.

    Waiting the artist of (Don's Adventure in Another World, 唐寅在异界) to make the same mistake in their manhua, since they just copy lines directly from the novel without proofreading. Will take probably 3 years for them to catch up to the "Constitutional monarchy" stuff.

    you know that the work can be more than just the title ( unless you are japanese wn author), perhaps the former is heavily criticizing the chinese goverment and why they don't change to Constitutional monarchy, why the latter is a slow living story about building an harem in another world that has several kingdoms and the best is Constitutional

    China's censorship is so absolute that even you, this topic, your sect and 9 generations of your family will cease to exist after tonight. :blobsleepless:

    Because 10 is too high, only the heavens can unleash such a punishment.

    It's not 9 generations. It's 9 familial exterminations or 9 kinship exterminations.
    By the time you reach Level 10, it means anyone that is in contact with you even via mail or conversation, will be exterminated by association.
    10th Degree extermination: A rare case was Fang Xiaoru (1357–1402), whose students and friends were also executed as the 10th family by the Yongle Emperor (r. 1402 – 1424), the only case where "ten exterminations" was officially sentenced and carried out.

    Am I getting this right? Writing a phrase like 'constitutional monarchy is da best' etc. gets you blacklisted? How far does it go? Is there a definite guide to Chinese censorship? It would be a fun read!

    Didn't they say 6 degrees of separation basically relate anyone to everyone else in the world? A proper 9 degrees extermination would mean killing off the entire human race, including the dude ordering the extermination, and possibly a bunch of animals too!

    The degrees of separation includes things like just being acquainted with someone, like being sitting in the same class as someone. The 9 familial extermination only refers to family. It means killing:
    • The criminal's living parents
    • The criminal's living grandparents
    • Any children the criminal may have, over a certain age (which is usually variable depending on the time period) and—if married—their spouses
    • Any grandchildren the criminal may have, over a certain age (which is usually variable depending on the time period) and—if married—their spouses
    • Siblings and siblings-in-law (the siblings of the criminal and that of his or her spouse, in the case where he or she is married)
    • Uncles and aunts of the criminal, as well as their spouses
    • The criminal's cousins
    • The criminal's spouse
    • The criminal's spouse's parents
    • The criminal himself

    Unfortunately, 10 degrees of familial extermination exists just what @elengee has stated, which would include students, friends, acquaintances, teachers, shifus. So example, if you perform 10 degrees of familial extermination on @elengee , probably every male /trap sex cultivator and anyone that has him on his cultivation-group-chat-list would have to be expunged along with him.

    Historical example of 10 degrees of familial extermination:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori..._was_the_punishment_of_nine_familial/cz8wyrn/
    I can't remember which xianxia or xuanhuan CN Novel had 11th degrees of familial extermination which included the extermination of deities that helped MC.
