Does the report button actually work?
0
There are a ton of broken links all over fakku, I click on report but there is no visual representation of something happening. I reported dozens to hundreds of broken links over the last year or so , the ones I rechecked stayed broken even after months.
Does the report button even work? Does it use some sort of script or popup or something that might be blocked?

When you report something, the Moderators get the message and it's up to them to decide what to do. In the case of broken links, I don't think they can do anything about it other than maybe contact the one who posted it and see if he/she can replace the link. Sometimes users become inactive or they no longer have the material in their possession so they themselves can't do anything about it.
Besides, the Report button is mostly for people who are breaking the rules in one way or another. Moderators aren't obligated to deal with broken links.

The report button is solely to deal with people who are violating the rules of the forum.
Using it for broken links is silly and will be ignored by said mods because you are being foolish.

what are you talking about? Because I am talking about this
As you can clearly see it says "report dead link" and not "report rule violations"

If a link is to an offsite location it should be removed (ideally replaced but if there is no time at least remove the broken one).
A lot of them are in fakku itself so there is something weird going on with the servers that causes files to disappear from fakku servers inexplicably (and quite often I might add).
Series which have all their download links removed should be placed in a special category of "lost series" where users are encouraged to resubmit it to fakku.
Not to mention that a lot of those have a broken "down from fakku" link while still allowing you to VIEW on fakku so there is nothing to reacquire, you just need to fix the broken link. That is assuming that the viewer is reading the zip/rar which is supposed to be linked rather then there being a duplicate of each manga kept in uncompressed format. If it is the latter then repackaging is needed.
If there are too many such requests for the moderators there are tons of people who would volunteer to help with this.

There are people who are called Fakku Helpers (not on their title, but I know some).
Anyway, thanks for making a thread out of it, be patient, the staff will look at it at some point.

Are you talking about broken links or Fakku download links being down? If it's the latter, then Fakku download links goes down temporarily from time to time.

Oh, that. Sometimes the download server is going down... I think it's when there're too many people downloading from server. Just try again or wait a few minutes (or even hours)

There are broken links to offsite downloads.
There are also a variety of files while give a page not found error when you try to download them directly from fakku. Those are not due to fakku server being down as other links work just fine.
For example: https://www.fakku.net/viewmanga.php?id=6404&mode=download
You will notice this gives 404 error when downloading the fakku file. You can view it from fakku in gallery mode with no problems and the server is online since I can download a bunch of other files. I have been trying it for months now.
It appears to me that reports of broken links on the fakku website itself are just ignored with the assumption of it being a server overloading issue or users being stupid when there appears to be an actual problem of mysteriously missing files. Note that this manga is not the only one that has been down for months.

Try messaging who ever posted the doujin in the first place to see if they can reupload the file. That is most direct route.

I (if i had permission... or anyone else) can easily repackage it from the gallery viewer where it works.
The bigger issue is that a variety of files on fakku's own server give a 404 page not found error, there is some issue that is causing them to disappear.

Alright, that is an issue then. Also means my "does the button work" question was right on the money since even a global moderator like you don't have access to those reports (and we don't have confirmation that jacob does yet, we just assume he does since nobody else gets them)
I believe all the moderators should have acccess to those reports, and for that matter so should at least some fakku helpers.
Also, I am interested in helping not just whining.
If I were to repackage a comic whose links are all broken from the gallery view, how would I go about uploading it?

That seems like a rather odd way of doing things... but then again, who is supposed to keep them updated?
Shouldn't the uploaders/translation groups get the report?

Oh... I doubt that the broken links will be fixed then.

It's database stuff, the only two people who are allowed to go into the database are Jake and Upantsu(who is also busy 900% of the time). It may be an odd way to run things but this site has been burned in the past by people who were trusted so I understand the dilemma.

It may be an odd way to run things but this site has been burned in the past by people who were trusted so I understand the dilemma.I understand the dilema, but since only three people (jacob, jake (unless you mean jake as jacob) and upantsu) and two of which are generally busy with other things (jacob is busy fixing the servers and doing his job (I assume) and fixing bugs and shit.. so it's either one person fixing it all, or it's nobody (depends if jake is jacob, or i'm just high on miscellaneous gasses)
They should probably look into it, but at the same time, be very cautious.. I imagine it'd be hard, what with the hack attempt and shit...
Edit: by look into it, I mean look into getting more people in charge of that area.. perhaps..
