The manga paper question.

Eric

I'd like to get everything we have dealt with, if possible.

Krazer

@Mysticial too localized imo

Deidara-senpai

The #f3f2f2 question you mean? :D

Eric

@Deidara-senpai That's the one.

Deidara-senpai

I am okay with keeping it closed, provided we don't jump to use this as an example for future questions.

Madara Uchiha

Mar 2, 2013 19:12

I actually think it should be open

JNat

I really don't know

Madara Uchiha

I'm not 100% sure whether it's off-topic or on-topic, that on itself is grounds to apply the be gracious rule and leave it open.

Deidara-senpai

Either is fine with me. For me, it is 50-50.

So I will go with whatever the community chooses.

Krazer

The color of manga paper will not really help anyone doing manga production

it's the paper stock that's important

not all paper stock comes in that color

Madara Uchiha

@Krazer We don't get to determine what kinds of information would be helpful to what kinds of people.

Mysticial

Mar 2, 2013 19:14

It's definitely borderline. But if I had to make a call, I'd say it's slighly off-topic.

Krazer

you can't search for paper color by hex code

Madara Uchiha

I'm guessing it's for some photoshopping.

Deidara-senpai

Apparently the OP wants to write a manga, but that is irrelevant.

JNat

@MadaraUchiha if that's the case, haven't we ruled out as off-topic?

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha but it varies significantly based on how you scan it

Madara Uchiha

Mar 2, 2013 19:15

It's unanswerable, that's probably for sure.

Whether it's off-topic or not, I'm not sure.

Logan M

The problem I see with this question is that it's just plain wrong. Hex color is a tool used for computer graphics. When you start talking about the color of actual physical objects it's completely useless because it depends on lighting, varies over the object, and generally isn't very useful. If he asked for the shade without specifying hex color it might be acceptable.

Krazer

that's why cleaners always color balance raws

Eric

I don't think it's a bad question to ask "What paper does manga usually use?"

But the way it's asked and the specifics of the question make it off-topic and... bad.

Deidara-senpai

@Eric I agree.

Mysticial

@LoganM That's a good point.

Krazer

Mar 2, 2013 19:16

@Eric that is a legit question I have no qualms with

Logan M

@Krazer I am of the same opinion

Mysticial

The fact that we're torn on this is a good indicator that it is a boundary question for what's on-topic and not.

Madara Uchiha

Leave it closed, ask the OP to clarify it, so that it's acceptable, then reopen it.

Right now, it's this comment that worries me a lot

JNat

@MadaraUchiha agreed

@MadaraUchiha lol XD

Deidara-senpai

@MadaraUchiha Yeah, well. You cant satisfy everybody.

dont even try

Krazer

I'll reply to this one

Logan M

@MadaraUchiha meh. If one user is a bit upset with the mods, that's not something we should be worrying about IMO.

Madara Uchiha

Not worrying as with "OH MY GOD THE SITE IS GOING TO BURN!"

Mysticial

That's one of the reasons why I don't want to be a mod on SO...

Deidara-senpai

Mar 2, 2013 19:19

See the last comment on my answer here for example.

Mysticial

I don't wanna be hated.

Deidara-senpai

A: What happened to the punishment for stealing an S-Rank Quest?

Episode 19 (filler episode) and episode 20 (omake episode) are non-canonical from a continuity perspective. In the manga, when they return to Magnolia, Erza reminds them about that punishment (just like in the anime), but then they see their guild building destroyed. This begins the next Phantom ...

Eric

While we're trying to gather users, trying to please every user will violate our policies and will eventually lead to more users being angry about why they're not receiving such treatment at a later point. So we have to just try and do what we can.

Madara Uchiha

But still. I'd like to think he's misunderstood and misinformed rather than malicious.

Eric

I didn't want to cast the close vote, but I felt I was setting a bad precedent if I didn't.

Madara Uchiha

Mar 2, 2013 19:20

@Mysticial On SO, a user like that would probably get a plakaty-ulotki.pl/27-72-large/tshirt-bitch-please.jpg face and move on.

But we are not on SO. Things are a bit delicate here.

Deidara-senpai

Apparently, the user does not understand what "anime filler" means, so he accepted my answer rather reluctantly.

Mysticial

@MadaraUchiha If that happens again, it's better to let one of us non-mods respond.

Madara Uchiha

@Mysticial I kind of agree to that, yes.

Deidara-senpai

Everything will piss someone off, such is life.

JNat

ok, so the paper question stays closed?

Eric

Mar 2, 2013 19:23

Yes. Please.

Mysticial

Yeah

Deidara-senpai

@JNat unless someone wants to reword it suitably.

Eric

As I said earlier, the question HAS to be rephrased if we want to keep it.

But any rewording will make the current answer very downvotable.

Logan M

@JNat Yes, unless the OP edits it to be more like "what kind of paper does manga use?" rather than "Give me teh hex code"

JNat

@Eric keep it? or reopen it?

Deidara-senpai

Mar 2, 2013 19:24

I dont think the OP would do that.

Mysticial

I'd say let it sit closed.

Eric

@JNat Reopen, yeah. Sorry.

JNat

I'd let it be closed, and let the OP rephrase if he wants, although I think he got his answer

Eric

@Mysticial I agree. Let it be an example, like a head on a spike in your front yard.
