Hard Translations, Source to untranslated version on Pixiv or not?

Posted under General

I'm hard translating images, and I've just gotten an automated PM saying the MD5 didn't match with the Pixiv link I gave in the submission form. Should I continue sourcing the original untranslated version, or should I source it to myself?
This is what the PM says:
"The link you used indicates that you did not upload the post directly from pixiv but instead uploaded it from your hard drive. One problem with this is that the image may have undergone modifications since it was downloaded from pixiv (like this one). The original, unmodified image is always preferred on Danbooru. Another problem is that the image might actually be a pixiv sample. To upload directly from pixiv, enter the direct image link into the "Source" field and leave the "File" field blank. This scan was unable to correct the link because the MD5 hash of this image did not match any of the sizes linked to by the source you gave. Please make sure the source URL is correct, and do not resize or in some other way modify pixiv images before uploading."

Hard Translated stuff shouldn't be uploaded at all.

Along to what the others have said, @defski you've been uploading duplicated, hard translated versions of already uploaded pictures. While hard translated pictures are allowed in certain, rare cases where the original version cannot be found, what you're doing is explicitly against the rules. We have a note system precisely for translations, so you should use that instead.

In that case, I suppose I should delete them. But it seems like there's no option to or am I blind?
