Forum:Following the official release schedule

I would like to propose extending the ban on spoilers to unofficial chapter scanlations. This would mean that information from new chapters would not be allowed on the wiki until the official chapter release date (normal schedule: Sundays 20:00 UTC).

As you may know, the groups responsible for unofficial scanlations during the past few years have ended their work on One Piece. There are currently no properly organized attempts to translate One Piece scans into English. This is looking to result in a mess of botched translations with varying quality on a weekly basis, possibly retranslated from other scanlations in different languages. I think it is best to disavow these for the sake of maintaining a standard of accuracy on the wiki.

The official release is typically only about 2 days behind unofficial scans now. It won't be that difficult to make the switch and starting waiting a few days. Editors can use that time to prepare for the new content. We would need to devote effort to make this rule clear to the userbase at the beginning, but with the right precautions we can prevent most of the issues. 19:13, January 3, 2020 (UTC)
