Manga Aggregator Antagonizes Critics Via Rule Change

The desperation continues for the embattled aggregator, though bans are incredibly easy to circumvent.  Wonder how they’ll enforce the offline and offsite part of the rule change.

From the MangaFox forum:

Any member found in attempt to shut down, close, destroy, sabotage, on a crusade to remove, dispose of, and or etc. manga, content on the site, or even Mangafox itself will be permanently banned.
What does this mean: If you make it your goal to shut down Mangafox in anyway, via contact various companies, scanlators, members, organize a group, etc. you will be seen as obstructing the function of Mangafox and we will reserve the right to permanently ban you. This includes creating groups on and off MF, posting that your goals is to shut down Mangafox via on or offline sites, and sending and or hassling scanlators to have their content removed.
What does this not include: Scanlators, translators, publishing companies and mangaka’s asking to have their content removed. This also does not include issues with mature manga or age of members as well as members or others stating their dislike for the site.
If those excluded groups wish to have their content removed they are free to contact the site but a member of their staff must do so. No proxies, no representatives that are not a member of their staff.
