after forty inputs the general consensus is pro watermark. the virtue of dropping it for a genuine manga experience doesnt seem the least bit beneficial when you guys are sacrificing your credibility. keep the watermark or have a poll to decide, a statistic wont change the communities well-knit beliefs though.
hardcontact has a point, however. if the translators believe this is for the best then there really shouldnt be any amount of feedback that changes your minds. we might not see what you mean to accomplish by removing them so our judgment may be clouded. just know that whichever choice you end up sticking with the fakku community supports it.
