Webnovel.Forum

As we keep voicing out concerns about Nijiya, I believe that sooner or later we will make our voices heard and @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL will do something about it. Isn't that right @CKtalon ?

This is definitely getting out of hand. That person just has too much god damn time and effort to waste.

The moderation in this place is garbage as usual.
I don't even bother with comments most of the time because they're usually flooded with exp posters.

Can't we just IP ban the guy? I've been reporting all his posts but not one of the new accounts are getting the hammer.

Zio thats what i was doing: enjoy the novel peacefully, upvote the top three "wall" comments and dont give a damn about everything else, just an enjoyable evening read and dont give a fart about this childplay in the comments

but since Nijiya uses his 50+ accounts to upvote himself, there are 3 major spoilers in the ballpark of ATTENTION SPOILER! "snape kills dumbledore in book 6 chapter xy page z because expain" unavoidable below every chapter lately so when scrolling through the chapters you will get spoilered. this affects every reader of this novel and its just atrocious that the admins let this happen for more than even a day

Bump

Don't feed the troll.

CKtalon
If thats the admin's official stance to customer complaints about harassment then i'll go read elsewhere, the internet is free after all and there are enough good sites without comment sections. Not gonna waste my time asking for quality assurance if the admins openly support bullying. Goodbye folks.

CKtalon

Very disappointing.

Ilzow They will be banned in time, but not now. There's no way they can continue this for a year. Bringing attention to them is feeding the troll. Let them burn out, and we will delete the comments after that.

CKtalon
You're kind of missing the point, which is countless people will accidentally read the spoilers. Responding to the trolls or not doesn't matter.

Are you suggesting readers should ignore the the comment section for a whole year? Seriously?

Or somehow magically forget having read the spoiler?

Tactics like "Only read comments after you've read the latest chapters" won't work. Why? Not everyone can afford to unlock all chapters at once. Many people use free SS, and have to slowly unlock chapters.

Telling them to ignore the comment section until they've read everything is ignorant.

So, yes, Just dropping a line like "Don't feed the troll" is irresponsible.

CKtalon

I do not know if your an admin, for this website forum or web-novels main website, but normally I agree with you on issues but you really are sucking up to your employer here.

Siding with a troll, over your normal readers...

Your response just motives me not to any send money on anymore SS until webnovel applies some common sense.

Maybe when sales for that novel start tanking will you/your company will listen to your readers...

Because if customer supports logic- is deal with it...

CKtalon Wow that's horrible talk about a suck up. Does @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL wipe your butt for you too.

CKtalon wow, this is disappointing if you're one of the admins. @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL

ImBloo I'm not speaking on behalf of Webnovel. There's just no cure-all pill for this symptom.

Perhaps you can give a better suggestion? Because a troll will just keep continuing and automatic systems aren't ready to handle such situations.

CKtalon create a "report spoiler" button. If enough people report the spoiler, apply an "unhide" feature for the comment like you have in the review sections. Do not display spoiler comments in the top 3 comment preview.
Reviews should also have a "report spoiler" feature so the onus to hide spoilers isn't completely on the writer of the review.

bumpity bump

CKtalon Nowadays I totally ignore his existence, but guess what? He stalk my profile and reply to my comment for every novel I read and comment before. Btw, here are the suggestion made by readers so far :

1) IP Ban
2) Create a 'report spoiler' button where it will hide the comment just like the review section
3) Prevent multiple created disposable account
4) Hire someone where his task to manage the trolls (readers can pay him using ss)

It's pretty obvious Webnovel only cares about ripping people off. That's why you have to pay at least a few hundred dollars to finish a single book unless you're willing to wait years.

Right. @CKtalon Around half a year ago, didn't you say something about how Cthulhu Gonfalon was only retranslated and stockpiling chapters for the past year or two? That it wasn't dropped?

ImBloo The system is only operable by staff of Webnovel for now and the authority to do so is dependent on the staff's permissions. For instance, someone working as an editor doesn't have access/permission to access what their colleagues earn. So likewise, different people have different authorities.

Any report system basically floods them which is unable to be handled humanly at the moment. They are working on that by outsourcing this work, but it will take time.

1. IP bans won't work.
2. Report spoiler button will have no one manning it.
3. Again impossible just like 1.
4. That's in the works, but it has to be an employee, not at the volunteer level.

We have already been in discussion about allowing translators to have the ability to delete comments, but that will take time to implement. There's the worry that translators will delete ALL negative comments too, so it's a balance of multiple factors.

CKtalon I think if we simply hide the comment instead of deleting it, it wouldn't matter if it was an unmanned system. Just make it fully automated. And if it becomes an epidemic of too many hidden comments, well, I don't think that it's the worst problem in the world. If you want it manned, then allow the translators and editors to unflag the comments.

KoraL Yes, as I said, it's a request by the translators to implement this feature, but the developers have many bugs to fix as well. It would take some time for translators to be able to handle the comments, but it's already in the works.

The Community: "Hey WN, this guy is ruining it for everyone else"

WN:

The Community: "It's been happening for months! DO SOMETHING!"

WN: "meh. Stop feeding the trolls."

...is this an out-of-season April Fools joke?

Ilzow

May I suggest Royal Road?

CKtalon I want to suggest another 1, please add 'block' button too. What will happen if translator has too many things need to do (never bother comment section), the readers at least can block the user. For example, let say I block user A. Both party won't see each other profile/post/comment. Somehow if user B reply to user A comment, I can see user B's comment but can't see what user A's post. Once I click the 'block' button and then 'poof' gone. The page automatically reload and I won't see user A post ever after that.

DeadmanWhisperer Seriously ?! Lol... That's some hardcore dedication.

Make it an option to hide the comment section.

Clowniac Well, the staff won’t make asshole comments at least. Unlike here lol.

Velixar

Truth be told, RR is becoming my main home. The only reason I even post here anymore is because of the friends I've made. This company, its services, and its treatment of writers and customers are a fucking joke.

DeadmanWhisperer that seems like a smart suggestion to me! Lol I’m ho estly amazed by some of his comments. Webnovel aotoblocks me when I try to write naive” in comments but somehow asshole isn’t considered a bad word? I mean a nice comment like the main char3cter is naive and adorable had naive ****** all symboled off, which made my comment look horrible but somehow this guy gets to write all this stuff? My main solution when someone posts a comment I hate is that I go and like every other comment I can to help drown out the bad one.... although against 54 accounts it does seem difficult. But we should form our own water army dedicated to only liking the good comments!

Well time to consider joining another community I guess. Can't believe I've been posting spoiler block comments for more than 200 chapters already. SMH
