Yes. My mistake.

Today I went swimming with some friends. Had a blast until I had to get out lol.

Been working on a few things but I hate how I have no time. Full time job is really annoying me >_<

And I thought it was OP ...

Best not IP ban . You might block out a complete innocent person from registering , maybe more than just one person ...

Let's not forget the ability to proxy as well ...

These spammers usually do rely on proxy sites. In some sites can detect if they use proxies as well and blocks the ability to use them.

Indeed . Those alternative IPs produced by proxies may hinder the effectiveness of IP banning .

I lurked Mangaraiders a few days ago (I won't post anymore there indefinitely) and stumbled upon this thread . Of course it's locked now , but before that there were lots of posts questioning the OP . But that's not what piqued my curiosity (I might make an advisory thread on spotting red flags in the business of collaboration) - this did , mentioned by the OP .

Upon further digging or not even much for the red flag to be raised , the service page leaves an odd taste . Why would you pay for a spot in their publishing company ? Very sketchy ...

I might also want to open a megathread that lists all publishers that are not trustworthy like what AbsoluteWrite does for their fellow writers . But I think a regular thread will do , for now ... the question is , where do I put it at ?

Noted. I will not IP ban indefinitely.

I'm sorry it didn't work out in that other forum.

The topic would go here. I decided to rename this the General "MM" Discussion to help clarify.

That site looks like potential spam. Anyone serious about getting published would never go to such am obvious scam.

Another reason I kinda like this forum, as quiet as it can be sometimes: it's not full of braindead zombies who would actually fall for that kind of thing. Maybe the age average is a little higher over here, or I dunno.

Lumaria · « **Reply #142 on:** February 27, 2017, 10:37:51 pm »

I would hope so. That site screams virus.

I know of younger people who're smarter than me in real life , provided they were offered the best education can offer . Otherwise , one has to learn things the hard way , like I did (my IQ is just above average) .

And that's where I have my concerns . There seems to be a major bloom of idiots that far outnumbers the smart ones .

@Orchid
"MM" ?

@Lumaria
Not that likely , but it is of a concern as well (unless one has that habit of clicking impulsively) . However , scamming is probably the site's main priority , it seems .

General MM Discussion. MM is short for Manga Mavericks.

This section will be anything related to what MM is about. What's going on with writing and drawing. The other two are odd topic but categorized into two different sections to help organize it better.

I've been finishing up on some things and heard Beauty and the Beast is getting controversy and I can't help but say Disney deserved it.

They changing the plot and turning a character gay and promoting it to give themselves a pat on the back.

I don't have a problem with it. But just like marvel looks like they doing it just for the money and controversy. Some of it sounds like paid drama. They were hoping this would be a problem and they looking to exploit it.

Just like Ghostbusters reboot.

Great . Firefox's no longer supporting XP users . I'm probably not going to be able to go online then ... or maybe not .

Orchid · « **Reply #148 on:** March 10, 2017, 06:22:01 pm »

Wow really? I don't use Firefox I use chrome. How's everyone doing? Did anyone find anything interesting this week?

I been trying to catch up on anime and manga too. I'm not too interested in the Ghost in the Shell: Arise series from netflix. It's Not as good as SAC.

guest4 · « **Reply #149 on:** March 10, 2017, 11:18:11 pm »

It's the last browser that still updates for XP users . Now that's gone too , I won't know how long it'll hold out under an obsolete windows . I'm still using Chrome but it's no longer getting updates for a year or two now for XP users .

My life's a boring one , so nothing interesting here .
