Qidian Dual-hosting Wuxiaworld Novels

Your whole reasoning is based on a wrong assumption.
NU is NOT an aggregator.

 

Arguable, because it does aggregate links that point to content outside the site. It just doesn't operate like a pirate site.

 

Technically speaking they are, which is the basis he's using for his arguments... but it's wrong headed because it's a different type of aggregator than what the rules are against.

Essentially, under the vernacular used here, they are not one.

 

It's really more like an index of links.

 

No, aggregating links doesn't make NU an aggregator.
In this community, an aggregator is a site that agregates (steals) novels from translators' site.
NU/NUF is not that kind of place.

 

It's a directory to be precise

 

That's just playing with words. No Value.
Everybody here knows what is really called an aggregator.

 

True, but that's according to what you perceive to be the majority of the community's definition of aggregator thanks to anime and manga pirates.
Bear in mind there is an objective definition for aggregator, and NU falls under its definition.
Just pointing that pedantic detail out.

 

Look, we don't need to talk about this thing again. NU IS AN AGGREGATOR.

This is not up for debate.

 

Dictionary definition would disagree, but you're absolutely right that it's not the meaning used here.

Yeah, that's really the more accurate term for it.

 

well, they showed me like that. rather than anything, they act precisely like "dont want to get involved with your mess", dont you see some staff member post? I draw the line from those people. why you defend them so much when what they did exactly opposite with your word?

 

It's like arguing that you're standing still. But relative to the sun, you're actually in motion.
Excuse my pedantry.

 

Aggregator is a website or program that collects related items of content and displays them or links to them.

 

I don't disagree. It's just the shield that person is hiding behind.

 

Posts ultimately mean nothing. Actions do. And the best action they've done so far is the new filter. Don't like Wuxiaworld or Qidian? Add them to the filter and ignore their links.
Staff are allowed to post their own opinions. If they don't like what Qidian is doing compared to Wuxiaworld, they can say what they want. This isn't Google or a big company.

 

We are a community that use specific vocabulary, like all internet communities.
He seems to be knew to this community and he doesn't understand the specific meaning we use here for aggegator.
We must educate him.

 

Yup. Including RSS reader applications, like Feedly. They also fall under the "aggregator" category.

 

I still think "fellow daoist" is one of the most awkward terms to come out of the translation community.

 

Aggregator just became a taboo word over time because it was used to point out all the shitty websites that stole translators works to host on their aggregator site. so everyone that does not look up the definition thinks the word aggregators means that website is bad when it just means it collects similar information.

This person that a lot of us are disagreeing with is using it like in a broad way to try and pigeon hole tony into looking bad when his point is actually not about the site being a aggregator but the fact he disagrees with Tony and NUF staff not str8 out banning all the drama out of here.

which is not his decision. Forums usually are never a democracy its a dictatorship get used to it or just do not use the forums you disagree on their policies with.
Imo NUF is truly being neutral its letting its readers and posters decide on what they want to see and which posts to read. its give the power to the public here in NUF.
He still does not understand what I meant when I said to separate the word "Neutral" and "Censorship"
