That changes the scope of this argument.
It's no longer about whether covers spoil. It's about
what counts as legit covers on the project page, because there's no such policy concerning this on BT. As in, what constitutes a volume cover, and what doesn't.
So far on BT, I've only seen actual LN bunkobon covers used as volume covers (other than that Double Seven scan). As far as I'm concerned, that magazine scan does not count as a volume cover, because you can't really call that magazine a
volume. Only covers of bunkobon should count as volume covers, because, well, light novel volumes come in bunkobon format? (Interestingly, some Chinese translated LN sites have no problems with putting those too, for some reason. Yes, magazine scans as volume covers. And no one there complains of them being spoilers lol. Not that I do either; the reason why IMO they don't belong on the project page is because they aren't volume covers, not because they spoil stuff. But looking back, seems like some of them
do spoil stuff.)
But as to volume covers themselves, there's no reason to remove them from the project page.

I've said this before, but seems it needs to be said again. All anyone had to do was sit and wait and the covers would have come back, patiences is a virtue. I'm genuinely curious as how it can seem you have the patience to wait for translations but can't extent that patience towards this. It baffles me really. I thought that it would itch more waiting for the next chapter rather then not seing thoes cover pics you already seen and would only add a bit of aesthetic value to the wiki.
Read again. His latest posts had nothing to do with whether it was OK to put back the covers. (Other than the latest latest one.)
I'm fine with waiting now that he's stated his plan, but that's a different matter altogether. It may seem that I don't have patience, but depending on the outcome of this, it may potentially end up affecting the whole BT.
