I'm sure many of you who read scanlations have had this experience: you find a manga you like, really get into it, and after having read enough chapters to become emotionally invested suddenly issues translated by a decent translator are no more and you're left with sub-par scanlations that smother your interest with cold, hard disappointment. That experience is so abhorrent and so prevalent in the scanlation world that I stopped reading manga altogether for about a year now.
My question is, is there any way to ascertain beforehand the continued quality of a specific manga's scanlated issues (without examining chapters in the latter half of a series ahead of reaching them)? Maybe there's a site that only allows decent-quality translations or something? I'd even settle for some tips on completed series fully and well translated. If someone could help me out here, I'd be truly grateful.
 
I don't think a site like this exit, though I would greatly appreciate if someone made one. It would be a tough task though, because you would have recruit someone who's got serious Japanese skills...
The horrible translation quality is partly what made me learn Japanese.

Remember that all link contributions will be re-uploaded as best as possible. Keep in mind that some will not be available because they can no longer be found. So I will see if they are still sold digitally. I hope they are available.
I don't know if it's because of the times when users are more active. But if you have the possibility to download a torrent file, at least keep it on your PC for some time so that it can be shared, or at least upload it to a cloud storage service like MEGA or MediaFire, etc.
Any requests, send me a message about anime music. I will do my best to help you since I also like anime music. Remember to download the complete torrent and at least share the files for a long time or post them here and upload them to a cloud drive for preservation.
