If you do the second option for sample images (as mentioned above), just use pomf clones like [http://pomf.io/ pomf.io], [http://1339.cf/ 1339.cf] and more.

	~~[IMG]http://link.to.your.first.image/[/IMG]~~
	~~[IMG]http://link.to.your.second.image/[/IMG]~~

	~~If you don't know what thumbnails are or don't know how to make them~~, ~~don't worry! ImageFap automatically generates these thumbnails and provides direct links to them after you upload the image(s).~~

	~~====Best practice:====~~

	~~Upload your images to an image host like Minus and include screenshots like you normally would.<br />~~
	After making sure everything is in order and offering your torrent open your sandbox again and press 'Upload images to image server' upon which all images should be detected and by pressing 'Replace selected images' your description will automagically be updated and all images will be transferred to BakaSHOTS.<br />
	~~Do note that even if your imagehost does not automatically create thumbnails~~, ~~BakaSHOTS does. This means that even if your sample images hosted by minus appear fullsized and~~ have ~~no thumbnails before you press the 'Upload images to image server' button, they will after you do this and they are hosted on BakaSHOTS~~
	'''Note:''' Your old description containing your original links will remain cached in your sandbox, to avoid undoing the changes you will need to press 'Load original description' prior to making any other changes to the description.

			== Scans / Rips ==

			=== Step 1 - Introduction ===
			Let's talk about scans. What do we mean by '''scans'''? We mean english published volumes, scanned by someone on the internet (or digitally ripped). We allow 1 Scans torrent, and 1 scanlations torrent. Sometimes you will see certain cases that we keep two scans, but that's for really specific cases. We don't have specific rules for this, aside from what it's stated above. All the rules that normal torrent had, also apply to these. And yes, you can offer on going manga with scans/rip, sometimes they are the only alternative. Now, let's pass to offering them (which only has one major step!).

			=== Step 2 - Official files ===
			The rule is the same, always try to get offiicial files. The "main" scanner out there is [http://kickthekitty.blogspot.com/ KickTheKitty], he scans them and someone else might edit them, or not. Some might offer [https://bakabt.me/torrent/175397/nora-nora-the-last-chronicle-of-devildom unedited scans], some might offer [https://bakabt.me/torrent/181742/uki-trash-market-scans edited scans], it's up to you if you want to clean them or not. Then, there is the rippers. Most digital rippers mainly rip comics, not manga, but every now and then someone cashs out a bit of money and rips a whole manga. Where can you get them? Madokami usually gets them up too, [http://www.bookgn.com/manga/ BookGN's manga section] always get them too. And sometimes, some people on madokami rip directly from other places like ComicWalker, Crunchyroll's 'free' time for manga, etc etc. But that's it. Sometimes, some rips are too old and they won't have names, so you can put them as "Unknown".


			And...that's it for scans. The whole process isn't hard or anything, maybe tricky the first time but it shouldn't intimidate you. And chill, the full torrent might be heavy but it's fine. And remember, '''bigger doesn't mean quality!'''

	Offering On Going manga is a bit more tricky than offering normal manga. Sometimes you will run into a lot of groups doing random chapters, it might not be completely translated (if it's that the case, then it can't be offered), there might be an on going long arc so you don't know where to start adding chapters and that's about it. ~~All the other~~ rules that were on the 'Ordinary Manga' part, also apply here. Original files (if possible) and so. And the manga needs to be either 10 volumes long or have 5 years in serialization.

			All the other rules that were on the 'Ordinary Manga' part, also apply here. But the most important rules for offering manga are:

			* Original files (if possible)
			* The manga needs to be either 10 volumes long or have 5 years in serialization.
			* You need to offer it from the start to a certain point where an arc ends. What's an arc? ''Well...''

			=== Step 3 - Arc-breaks ===
	To offer on going manga, you have to read the manga and find a part where an arc ends. What's an arc? I will cite Wikipedia on this part.		To offer on going manga, you have to read the manga and find a part where an arc ends. What's an arc? I will cite Wikipedia on this part.
