Notability Standards for Webnovels/Webcomics

[deonment]

I personally think a hard and fast number shouldn't be in place at all really, context matters when we evaluate crts and stuff, so why should it not be the same for determining if a verse is eligible to be indexed on-site, and while you can go ahead and give general outlines of what is okay or not

For example a verse I know would likely be rejected off of our current notability standards, The Primal Hunter, makes the author like 70k off Patreon alone, which I think anyone would have difficulty arguing isn't notable, especially considering the current impacts that in certain circles can be seen in how new novels in those circles are made/developed

But presumably not, though. Presumably that's why the pirate sites have so many. Some number of views on the main site are suckers people who paid for it, but a substantial amount of people seem to just pivot to piracy.

Still. Reckon this probably settles the issue of notoriety, if its net views are just horrifically spread out (and that seems to verifiably be the case). At least, it seems reliable enough in my opinion. It'd be wiser to mention this on the actual thread for this verse.

For the record, because this thread isn't strictly about the Infinite Mana hubbub, I stand by the notion that the OP and some messages in here exaggerate the issues with the system as it is, and that in its current form, the system is achieving a balancing point between being well defined and not being overly restrictive. I don't really see the issue with allowing for human evaluation rather than an overreliance on any one stat- truthfully, I may be confused as to what the point of these posts is. It seems to me people agree with the notion of any number being arbitrary, or too ignorant of the many instances of context, or what have you- but people still seem to want this to be the status quo, to codify (for example) 1 million views on YouTube as the requirement. I don't really understand it at all.

I asked because multiple different staff members gave confusing responses. This is just a qna thread, not intended to change anything.
