TenSura WoG Rule Addition

[Ciel_Trinity439]

Yeah i did said that for some exceptional case of Activity Report which was presented to me. To be clear i said to "not focus on exceptional cases" since that's was not feasible imo. That said if other staffs voted for it already, i guess you can count my vote for it too.

I’ve done that.Alright, thank you all.
So, is the current number of votes enough regarding the activity reports?

I think then we can close the thread?
Can one of you do that?
Thank you!

Before we can close it, we need to write down the rule, and make sure it covers everything, and after that is done and implemented, we can close this.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Which of the areas does Bambu agree or disagree with and why?

The main point I disagree with is the use of audience answers as WoG at all. The OP currently suggests using them as long as they come from 2016 or earlier, as VSBW was less popular. I have pointed out that WoG responding to random people is much less reliable to begin with, and that powerscaling-tangent questions have certainly existed since before VSBW's conception.

These are the author’s answers, not the audience’s answers.
They are reliable since the answers were given during the period when the author was writing the novel, and even after publishing the chapter, he was responding to readers’ questions about the novel.
The questions that were asked were related to the plot, story, and events occurring in the novel in the same chapter, and there were no questions about power, so there’s no problem here.
No need to reply to me; I’m just correcting your wording.

Here:

Based on this revision, WoG is acceptable only if it is from Web Novel Impressions, Activity Reports, Official Interviews or Guidebooks, so long that they maintain consistency with Primary Canons (Web & Light Novel), while any WoG sourced from Direct Messages from Syosetu or any other site is completely banned due to the leniency and lack in consistency in those answers, as well as the fact that this form of WoG cannot be confirmed by others by themselves. Additionally, for the Web Novel Impressions specifically, only WoG dating from 2013 to 2016 before the Author's period of Inactivity is allowed.

I sent this to Fine first and he had no problems, so I'd assume at least he approves of it as it is at the moment. Though if I misunderstood something he can always correct me. Same goes for all other staff who may have some suggestions or spotted some mistakes!

 

[Ciel_Trinity439]

We can close the topic, then.

We can close the topic, then.

@Antvasima Expressed his intent to comment on this thread. So it wouldn't hurt to wait a little.

Personally speaking, aside from Direct Messege and Official Guidebooks, Interviews which i share the same opinion as everyone.

WN Impressions (2013 - 2016) and Activity Reports are oke but as Bambu have said, powerscaling have been porpular way before so WoG come from these two sources should be under extreme scrutiny

Thank you for your opinion.
However, I would like to clarify something.
Whether a power measurement exists or not is not important here.
Why?
All the questions asked to the author were related to the events of the novel and the published chapter, such as:
Explaining a certain situation within the story
Understanding the chapter’s plot or character development
Clarifying mysterious events that readers didn’t understand
There were no questions regarding powers or character levels.
And I can confirm this, as I have read all the questions and answers from the author

 

[Vietthai96]

Like i said, we will review and evaluate them with scrutiny, you can't simply say "hey they are not powerscaling" and we blindingly accept them, that is equal to "trust me bro"

What kind of evaluation or review do you mean? I want to know in advance.
Thank you!

I know it's the author's answers. To the audience.

I don't consider them reliable, because of my reasons I pointed out. The reasons you've given aren't exactly reasons to assume greater confidence in the answers being critically considered compared to the written work.

If I assumed good faith of all questions ever asked, I would be a very bad staff member.

I need to reply when you're also trying to dismiss my arguments, is the thing.

Thank you!

That is case-by-case basis, we need to see the actual evidences to evaluate, can't make a generalized answer here

 

[Reiner04]

Just as we evaluate any general WOG on this site. case by case.

For me, there is nothing more reliable than an author's answers given during the release of a chapter.

I could agree with you in a case where a writer published a chapter in 1999 and then answered a question about it in 2025 there, it might be somewhat questionable whether they still remember the details accurately. But that is not the situation here.

In this case, the author writes a chapter, publishes it for example on the 11th and then on the 12th (or even the same day), readers who have gone through the chapter ask about things they didn’t understand. The author then responds, clarifies, and explains the matter clearly.

I mean, what could be more reliable than an author explaining something they literally finished writing yesterday, responding to questions in detailed answers of more than five lines?

Also, I’m not dismissing your arguments, but I don’t find them logical or to be more precise, I simply don’t agree with them.

If this changes your position, let me know. If not, that’s completely fine.

And thank you for your time, and I apologize if my words came across as annoying I mean nothing beyond defending my arguments.

Now, should I wait longer or what?

I already have a difference of 3 votes, which is enough to close the matter.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

At that margin, given the ranks, you should get more staff. Given that most of the immediately adjacent voices have spoken on the subject, I can ping some if you'd prefer.
