Bitcoin Forum

Hey everyone, I have a question for you guys,

A Staff from a local section of the forum is accusing me of using Google Translate and told me I was not allowed to post any translations anymore, he just read the first 3 words, and not the whole ANN thread I posted there. I sent him my whole portfolio, just to show him that I definitely dont use any automatic translation programs, lets see what that brings, but just in case he stays with his opinion and ignores my portfolio I sent him, who is the higher person in charge I could contact ?
Its a bit tricky right now, because through deleting my ANN thread twice I couldnt keep the deadline and I maybe lose a few ETH worth of tokens because of him.

Thanks for your help guys!

Create a thread in the Reputation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0) board proving that the Staff is wrong and that your translation is legit.

I don't think the admins would waste their time with something like this.

Ok thanks for your help, yeah I don't want to bother the admins with this too, but I have to do something in case he ignores my portfolio. I will wait for his answer and if it is negative I will post something in the Reputation sector :)

Might be in Meta too, because person is staff and Meta is for forum rules and policies.

You must wait his response before posting this thread. Admins are responsible for what they are doing and they know their acts, they are not perfect but it's their job to clean the forum if there's something wrong.

What you can do now is wait for him and be patient.  ;)

Yeah.

I think that admins are normally very busy to support members. I think they don´t get paid or they get paid just a little and there are not that many of them if you think of it. The admin of the forum is Theymos, but it is very unlikely that he will pay any attention to a minor (minor for him) issue like this.

I think that your best chance is trying to contact your local thread admin and if everything else fails I think there is a section to put a reputation claim that might help.

Yeah he answered me and told me he won’t change his opinion, obviously he just ignored my portfolio of translated documents and builds his opinion through reading 3 of a few hundred words. Many bounty managers, including the Tokensuite Team I translated many projects for, checked my translations and couldn’t find anything from an automatic translator, because there is absolutely nothing. I translate everything by myself, and even when there are a few words I don’t understand I rather research them on the internet than use Googe Translate or something.

What would be the benefit of posting it there? I dont want to harm his reputation, just want this problem solved because I did absolutely nothing wrong.

Did you mean this user?"phantastisch" ???
I have checked your posts; you have a lot of topics in that section which means "not translated by Google."
It's hard to find someone who speaks three languages so if they're in another section, that's probably a translated "Post that topic here."

This forum to talk about Bitcoin, so I recommend to stop advertising and talk a bit about Bitcoin.

Yeah Im talking about him, and I know what you mean, but there are many bounty managers which cant speak german either, but they take random lines from the documents, let them get translated by Google Translate for example and compare the result with the translation, I think someone who reviews this problem doesnt has to be able to speak german to do that. Btw, I could easily get something like a review from different bounty managers, but there has to be someone bigger than the staff who can give his opinion.

The guys above (thanks!) gave me two oppotunities: Posting this problem in the Meta and Reputation sector.

But how could that help me to solve this problem ? As I said I dont want to harm his reputation, Im pretty sure being a Staff in the community can be hard sometimes, but I did nothing wrong.

The reputation section is filled with internet sleuths that will help you to identify whether or not your claim is valid. You won't find many of these types of members in the Beginners & Help board.

You won't be harming anyone's reputation unless you (or someone else) can you prove that the staff member is blatantly neglecting their duties. If you are adamant that your translation is correct and legitimate, then you should definitely start this thread in the Reputation board. If there is a chance that the staff member is not doing their job properly, then the powers that be need to know about this.

We get an extra ordinary amount of spam in from bad or google translated threads and he went under a false positive.
Well the case here is, I banned him from posting translations and before I had time to answer to his pms he posted again.
I'm a bit in a bind here since he went behind my back because he wanted to get paid.

I´m my new (in the forum) view, you did something wrong since the translation was correct and he acted before your answer because he was convinced that you had no reason to delete the posts.

If you have to moderate a whole section you have the right to make mistakes from time to time, but now that is clear that the guy is not spamming it may be the time to let him post and forget about the whole thing.
