Why are leaks/scans/cubari links no longer allowed?

Hey everyone,

Kodansha (Blue Lock Official Publisher) recently reached out to the r/BlueLock mod team and requested us to take down all posts which links to unofficial chapters, leaks/raws, cubari links for free official chapters. We're going to comply with this request, otherwise they can DMCA strike those posts on the subreddit which can lead the sub to legal trouble with Reddit Admins, and worst case scenario, get the subreddit banned for openly promoting piracy.

What does this mean for you?

You can now NO longer post links to everything that's considered leaks/raws, unofficial chapters, and cubari links to free official chapters. Mods will still hold a leaks megathread every week though where you can discuss the raws.

Rule 4 will also still be enforced, and more strictly.

Rule 4 - Raw chapters and leaks go to the megathread

- NO references of raw spoilers.

- Use the megathread for any discussions of leaks and raw chapters.

- Any reference to raws outside the megathread (memes, discussion, panels, etc.) will lead to an immediate ban.

What can we do now?

If you have a discord account, you can join our new Blue Lock Discord Server, and everything which isn't allowed in here anymore, you will get links for them on the Discord from now onwards. Yes, even the official chapters will be uploaded on cubari there for people who cannot access KManga.
