    While I would prefer actual chapters, If a group makes an effort to release a fake chapter there should be a thread specifically for groups to post those pranks.

    So that we can read them in all their glory.

    Yay for April Fools. Too bad that that it doesn't actually have good stuff on that holiday. I wonder who invented that holiday, anyway?
    I'm guessing that since all the releases on April 1st are joke chapters, that's why there are no chapters today?

    Not all groups will fake chapters, and many which do link to the real chapter inside the prank.

    2 hours in April 1st and still haven't got a prank of any sort. I'm off to a good start. (all of the pranksters must still be asleep since its still 2AM)

    latest chapter of hero academy manga had a bunch of nonsense for all but last 2 pages on mangahere. i think they jumped the gun and it just got released early, though. had to go to a dif site for the actual full chapter. i'm slightly amazed at how long some of these things would have to take, especially for things that are already going at a snails pace. wasting 2 weeks of effort just for a quick "ha ha, i got'chu!"...

    Sorry, manga? What's that? XP
    Is it eatable?
    (Reading only Haikyuu, One Piece, Fairy Tail, D. Gray-man, Berserk, One Punch, Hajime No Ippo and Detective Conan (in short oldies))
    Hmph
    (not talking about Manhwa and Manhua's which I read a bit more)

    Edit: and I am for having jokes on 1 April just to help the translators unwind (try translating yourself and you'll never whine again about April fool's chapters...)
    P. S. Not saying I will not report on fakes ;)

    Why would you ban someone from NU for something they do on their own site? Those things are unrelated.

    I think you don't understand how novelupdates work then.

    Releases are not added by people, but by bots, they add the release on their site and they're automatically added by the bots to NU via RSS feeds.
