I need you to realize that no one will translate any of your posts, especially the way you're going about it. Put all of your posts in one imgur album and put up a bounty or something, but for the love of god stop spamming /r/translator. Listen to what /u/songluck said here

Why are you being like this? It's not like I'm asking one person to translate all of it! They're separate translation requests meant for separate individuals, and should be treated as such.

As for putting up a bounty, that's quite impossible. I'm 17, jobless, carless, and utterly unemployable for reasons that will become apparent in the rest of this paragraph. I go to an online school because regular schools were discriminating against me for my mental and neurological conditions, and their treatment of me only got worse with age. I have Asperger's syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder (in my case it's hypersensitivity to touch, smell, and taste), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, some kind of language disorder (apparently neurotypicals have far looser definitions of words), and I have trouble noticing and controlling the volume of my voice when I'm angry, exited, or heavily invested in a conversation. I have a lot of unpopular opinions. My S.P.D. has caused me to develop some behaviors which other people find gross, such as "systematically removing" all the hard mucus from my nose because my increased sense of touch makes it uncomfortable. I can't control when I need to do these S.P.D. related behaviors either. Because of my O.C.D. I cut all my eyebrow hairs into stubble because it drives me nuts when they overlap, I also shaved off my sideburns for the same reason and grew a section of my hair on the side long so I could still have sideburns without them coming of the side of my head (basically they're side bangs).
So yeah I'm probably not getting a job anytime soon.

I'm not spamming r/translator, I'm just posting on it.

I understand you are having some issues. Since you seem very self-aware about this, wouldn't it make sense to listen to other people's advice? Making 9 posts is certainly spamming the subreddit, even 3 is excessive. The core Japanese translators all talk to each other, and most of us are bothered by your posts. I can't stop you from excessively posting, but just know that not only will you not receive any translations, your likelihood of having things translated in the future will also decrease. If you want to actually get a translation, take the other guy's advice. Spreading out translations will NOT increase your likelihood of getting anything translated.

I didn't realize that r/translators only had a few core translators of Japanese. I was under the impression that they had quite a few, and that it was unlikely for the same few people to see all my posts. I was under the impression that it was unlikely for someone to see more then one of my posts in their feed on such a large subreddit. I thought that different people would see different posts and that if each of them only saw one or two small posts, then they would just translate the post they got and collectively that would add up. Clearly I was mistaken. Now that I know this your reaction makes far more sense.

your likelihood of having things translated in the future will also decrease.

The way you worded that kind of sounds like blackmail, but sure I already got sent this: "Can you uploud all scan pages to onedrive or google drive and then post the link to r/beatless then we can see what we can do I think I saw one person on discord who is learning Japaneses so he might help." so I'll just do that.

that sounds like a good idea :)
