Just to clear things up...Image Theft is not the name of a new project though I wish it were. This morning, I woke up to find Chapter 2 of Going in the Wrong Direction posted on mangahere.co! Sure enough, it was also posted on similar sites like mangafox. However, when I checked Batoto, where I upload my chapters, only up to Chapter 1 was uploaded like it was supposed to be. Now, when I usually upload on Batoto, I expect sites like mangahere/mangafox to eventually take those chapters. But this time, Chapter 2 was uploaded before my 24 hour delay policy was over. Having a delay policy is really important to Ghosty Scanlations because having people visit our site is the number one way to support our group. Uploading chapters before that delay policy is over draws away support from Ghosty Scanlations, and that's something I do not want to happen. I am disgusted and confused that such a thing has happened, as people usually respect my delay policy. Not only that, it means that whoever uploaded that chapter uploaded it after getting the images from this sites and uploaded them without my permission. I am extremely disappointed and have taken a few measures to prevent this from happening again. However, there is no foolproof way to block this from happening ever again, so please be warned that if chapters of this series are ever uploaded again before the 24 hour delay policy is over without my permission, I WILL STOP SCANLATING THIS SERIES. Scanlating takes a lot of work and time, and I can only hope that people will respect that and not upload chapters without permission or credit given.

As a fan, I'm very upset as well! 😡 We won't be able to enjoy the series anymore if those annoying, good-for-nothing thieves keep stealing your work. All they have to do is wait for the 24 delay to be over. Geez.

It sucks when people can't respect the wishes of scanlating groups and things like these happen. I really like this new series, but I understand if it gets dropped.

So basically this series will be dropped quite soon. I've never seen those pages actually respect those policies. I'd like to give some more protection, but it's quite hard to actually protect still images.

I'm really mad with these websites, because they only repost other people works and don't even respect them. I only read your work here and i really like your scans and i hope that you continuous translating them <3

I'm really mad that such a thing happened. I'm so sorry and understand that it upset you so much. I also understand that you'll stop if it happens again, though I really enjoy this new project so far... Some idiot thief might punish us all! :@ I hope it won't happen ever again to any of the series you're scanlating. We are all very thankful for you hard work and support you with all our heart. My favorite one is Pefect Honeymoon btw :D

These freaking thiefs need to stop doing these kind of things. It's understandable if you stop a series because of these thiefs. I want to say I'm extremely grateful for all the time and effort you put into translating these webtoons. I've actually seen a scanlator and translator give up a couple series because people would not listen to their rules. It's upsetting, but dropping a series if necessary would put these thiefs in their place.
