Thanks for the update. Any idea if we're gonna be looking at an early or late September release?Bet on late September unless we're told otherwise.
Try switching to other nodes. I had to switch mine many times to find one that works. It's annoying but it seems like there's enough abuse going on that a lot of blocking is happening. Shitty situation for everyone.
You can try the contact form https://www.fakku.net/contact. FAKKU has worked with independent artists before. They should find your message and forward it to the right people.
Fuck. There's no way I can attend, but Michiking........... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh god damn.
Sorry, this has come up many times. I believe their official position is that they never want to turn users away from content. People's tastes change all the time and even if you think never means never, sometimes it doesn't truly mean "never". The negative consequence of tag filtering is that it creates a feedback loop. If a large group of people refuses to even consider reading a manga with a certain tag, then people will draw less of it. Why even bother if so many people won't even entertain the thought? It's unfair to the creator if their works become completely invisible this way.
On the other side of things, if a reader never, ever exposes themselves to what they perceive as unpleasant, then they'll also rule out any possibility of ever coming to appreciate it. Sure, maybe it doesn't happen super often, but it really does happen. And when it does, it can open a whole new world for that person.
I think people perceive this as being user unfriendly, but they really need to understand that there are in fact negative consequences to consider.
Since you mentioned, "rape" falls under the "forced" tag.

I like having options. My first thought is that list is better because you can see tags at a glance. I think this is very important to me, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe I wouldn't miss it as much as I think.
However the front page has also become crowded with many different types of posts. I understand there are reasons for this and I'm not inherently opposed to it, but I feel it's becoming unwieldy. For that reason I would be willing to try a grid and see how I feel about it.
If you're not willing to try an implementation without a consensus, I would say just stick to the list.

I was concerned when I first heard the news, but it looks like we'll be okay in the short term. I hope the situation improves overseas. I know nothing about that convenience store ban, but it sounds like a major blow.
I have no issue with showing older content. However with its current implementation, this feature is showing some pretty recent stuff and I'd argue that it's wasting front page real estate.
Example:
Example:
I just roll balanced teams with whatever I need between Diene, Achates, Bellona, Cidd, Luna, Lorina, Pyllis, Kluri. I know there are gimmicky things I could try, but I haven't gotten into any of that. Need better equips across the board.
I play but I'm pretty inactive right now. I feel stuck with progression and without good equips/teams arena is really frustrating.
There was a "requests" subforum a while back. It was removed. I think it had something to do with the fact that people were mostly using it for unlicensed content, which is not served on Fakku. Probably not coming back as things stand.
Your last suggestion reminds me of something I suggested a while back. Basically the idea I had was to convert comment sections into forum posts. Each upload would spawn a forum thread. Comments posted in the comments section would actually be posted to the forum thread, while also being viewable on the content page. In the comments section it would mostly look and feel the same, but there would be a link or something for "further discussion". I'm still not really sure if it's a good idea. I don't really know if it would do anything to drive more forum activity or even generate better discussions. The main benefit would probably be that you could potentially have better discussions as the comments are rather limited. Plus it would probably take a bunch of work and hacking to make this happen. It's not exactly a clean solution.
