User:Pedro Sá Couto/TW/NewTitles

STEPS

Asking for a new title is separated in 4 steps:

1. Checking if the file was already asked for
2. Filling the form with info from the title
3. Submiting the request
4. Displaying the request

WHY?

Tactical Watermarks will exist alongside its use.

Not only I intend Tactical Watermarks to become a tool, in this route I wanted to create a stimulus where users can ask for titles they need. This feature increases the sociability within the web platform and also augments the sense of community and solidarity that exists in this online space. Requesting a new title is also an approach to populate Library Genesis with files that might be missing to other users of this shadow-library aswell.
