Title: Bounty scammer get payed without troubles... warnings just ignored
Post by: bitbollo on October 19, 2021, 07:02:36 PM
There is a guy from INDIA (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352156.msg57863117#msg57863117) a guy from Vietnam (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366504.msg58273661#msg58273661) that translate in ITALIAN language but he use some "unknown" words meaning everything (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352156.msg57835108#msg57835108).
Clearly ( ::) ) he is not Italian nor he can just say or write correctly "CIAO".
Despite several warnings (see below the full list), he get payed from bounty manager.  ???

Well I don't know why use negative trust, or spot scammers/fraudsters etc etc etc if at the end this is the gift for a bounty scammer.
Plus I don't know what is the real task, if even some shitty translation get payed
Even more, there are seriously project out of here ready to pay these shitty translation?

This is a fraud, plus this account has been connected to other accounts banned/fraudsters and so on...
What did you think?

Thanks in advance for any reply!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352156.msg57835108#msg57835108

I seriously don't have idea why you have ignored at least 3 posts in this topic, 1 private message, a couple of red trusts, and a couple of topics related to this BOUNTY SCAMMER, FRAUD, ACCOUNT ALREADY BANNED, AND PLAGIARIZED.

I am still really curious to know why he has been payed.
just made everyone here aware that in any case, also a shitty translation can be payed.




to be updated.

I've created a few threads about similar situations[1]; so there's really not many answers.

If you do have a local mod that speaks italian, you could simply report every post you see that has been translated this way saying that it was in fact translated by a machine.
You could also contact the manager and tell him what happen, although he'll most likely just put up an excuse. You could red-tag him in this case, it will for sure catch his attention and at least for me, it'd be a justified one.

You could also red-tag the translator, but he won't care much about it.

TLDR, reporting is your best option here

Ragazzi (Guys),
could you please confirm if this "italian" can be used by Italians or this translation can be made by Italians?

(I am just taking 1 translations ... few examples...)

Completely non-sense no meaning first part and I am not sure even if he is using Italian since this is an unknown word at least in TRECCANI Dictionary ... even this is not "common" language... ::)

He miss properly BASIC grammar... (del - article ) no one italian can talk/write in that way.... completely non sense....

this is just in a couple of pages/few examples but it is full of grammar mistakes, missing pieces, words just created ;D .
anyone Italian mother-tongue can confirm this is definitely not a real translation.


PS
I Haven't received any reply by bounty manager despite several warnings :( still now I have not answers.
However I am continuing to update the long list of accounts connected ;)

I confirm that this translation was not done by an Italian-speaking person.
In addition to the examples given by @bitbollo, it is sufficient to look at a random page of the WPP to find conceptual errors. On p. 3 for example it says:

Quote
Gli utenti si collegheranno con nuovi circoli sociali selezionando i loro interessi e scorrendo su altri utenti.

I suppose that "scorrendo " is the translation of "swipe" but in Italian nobody would translate swipe that way: it would mean "to pass over" people.
It's just one example, there are many similar ones.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d5_D8igRvbS4sDpddJNak7fl6z_Tv6cz/view



I opened the FOOBEE white paper (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d5_D8igRvbS4sDpddJNak7fl6z_Tv6cz/view) on a random page.

I landed on page 14, I choose a random sentence:

Quote
Può essere graffiante andare al primo appuntamento dopo il primo appuntamento, ma
non sembra mai stabilire nulla oltre. Le ritrazioni degli utenti su se stessi sulle app di
incontri sono spesso la fonte del problema.

I don't know what does this sentence means in Italian.

This is the original text from the Whitepaper:

Quote
It can be head-scratching to go on the first date after the first date, but
 never seem to establish anything beyond that. Users' portrayals of themselves on
dating apps are frequently the source of the problem.

Translating back to the Italian Language:

Quote
Può essere fastidioso andare al primo appuntamento dopo il primo appuntamento, ma
non sembrano mai stabilire nulla al di là di questo. Ritratti di se stessi degli utenti su
le app di appuntamenti sono spesso la fonte del problema.

Definitely similar. Possibly, the translator version is even worse than GT version.
My version would be better than that,

Man, that sentence in English doesn't even make much sense, never mind the Italian translation! 

And yeah, I'd say there's way more than enough evidence that points to this stronzo either using a translation service or simply doing a shitty job manually translating something into a language which he's obviously not proficient in.  I don't usually tag translation scammers, but I'll make an exception in this case.

Cheating in a campaign managed by:@irfan_pak10

I mean, it has been already pointed out as issue?
Or it has been in some way addressed?

As my personal curiosity to @irfan_pak10 ....
did you think it can be sound strange that some random people from INDIA is speaking "perfectly italian like a translator" meanwhile they are completely inactive in ITALIAN SECTION but still active in foreigners local section?

Never get curiosity about that?

Ok , well, much probably we are talking about just shitcoin/shit-bounties (I am probably the first Italian that has opened one these WP ! ;D)  
this can explain this missing interest, but I am not able to find one user from italian board that has made one translation in these "bounties".
There are "real italians" that works in these bounties? I don't want asks for other countries but if some one from Germany or Spain or France would check I think this is a "global issues" not only for ITALIANS ::)

Thanks in advance for you reply @irfan_pak10 .
I am still waiting since a month (maybe more...) but no worries, Italians love to wait, no hurry at all.

If you already DM him, posted on that bounty topic and as I see that it was really for over a month that post has been there and yet @irfan_pak10 doesn't respond, I wonder if this topic would even caught his/her attention. Likely just a milking cow bounty, either with the bounty hunters and the manager itself or both, just my two cents but I think I am making some sense in this opinion of mine.

Back when I did the reporting wave on one single translator, I did get in touch with the managers. I'll quote the replies, to see what kind of reply you can expect (if any).

Hello.

Thank you for your feedback. Our team is investigating your thread. We will inform you as soon as possible. Thank you for being helpful.

Best regards.

Good night gentlemen,

I'd like you to read the following thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5295628

It does concer both of you as campaign managers, since this user has been cheating using machine translation tools. At the end of the post, you'll see that I'd also like to know why no proofreading/validation measure has been taken. I sincerely hope that the explanations you provide are convincing enough for the members of the forum.

I apologize beforehand if I'm sounding too harsh, but I've made around 200 reports of these kind of translations from him in the last couple of hours, so understand that I'm angry; mostly because there was no control about the quality of the content.

Kind regards and be safe
Csm


Hi,

Proofreading is simply not possible as the bounty takes place on the forum. Proofreading would require extreme good faith from another member of the local board to not downplay the work of the translator to take his place, or otherwise friendships that would work to proofread each other works bad or good. I know because I've been a french translator for a long time, these things can't be verified.

As far as pedrillo, he's been working for amazix for years in the past, that's because of his reputation that I chose him. Now like Halab said, I give him the benefit of the doubt unless the results of his translation includes obvious mistakes you only find in automated translation tools.

Regards.

Investigation that will never happen, or a simple "we can't check everything" will suffice...
I know I've made some noise in the past and present about this issue, but it's good to see that more members are getting involved in this from different countries

thank you @rhomelmabini. appreciated and yes generally speaking it is something acceptable/reliable as opinion.
but, I don't like that he/she come after a while and says "I was never informed about that issue" ::)

I want be really sure that he has read my several messages, topic, etc etc....
(I know he has posted https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352156.msg58218595#msg58218595 in the same page and payed the fake translation despite SEVERAL WARNINGS!)
Meanwhile I am collecting "alt accounts" linked to the same scammer ;) here (59 already posted much much more will be posted soon ;) )

If you check
1. D_DOT it's a kind of expert in Italian from the scratch....
LOL if this is the way they make this check it's something ... no I can't comment..... sorry.
 
Here in this topic the issue it is also another one.
Because, despite it has been clearly pointed out to bounty manager.... warning has been ignored. and scammer has been payed.

FBE distribution has been completed. here is the contract -

LOL ! Complaints form was also closed! ::)

What he/she is doing if he/she don't check the job done and ignore warnings ?!?
What he/she is doing if he/she is not able to speak that language but able to "recognize" previous work as "reputable"?!?!

If you have enough evidence to prove he has a banned account then the appropriate thing to do is to report it to forum moderators for ban evasion before reporting it to the bounty manager. Mods will ban all his alts and this way you ensure he won't cheat on any other campaign (unless he creates new account).
The use of automated translation tools is also against forum rules. So, you can report all his translated threads to your local board mod.

Not sure why irfan_pak10 (reputable campaign manager, afaik) is ignoring your reports and didn't take any action against this user but you can report this directly to the project owner.

I'm not surprised, @irfan_pak10 has always been cool with issues as serious as this. I've warned in the past (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5222178.msg54273732#msg54273732) about fake translators listed in his thread, and I got the same response (ignored, sadly).
As far as I know, irfan_pak10 is Pakistani. This has a little correlation with the translators being Indian (having several common native languages). Maybe they also know each other in real life.

Just my 2 sats

Post by: irfan_pak10 on October 21, 2021, 07:41:47 PM
Thank you @bitbollo for this finding, I did check your findings in my thread and also read the comments of the guy who had done the translation job, As there were no proofs were mentioned simply saying that this guy is Indian and cant translate doesn't actually, in my opinion, justify to reject his entry. We actually usually hire backup translators too to review the translation job, Unfortunately, there was no other guy who can provide us proofs that the transaction was not done properly, or the guy used the GT.

In his comments, Where he mentioned, that if anyone can provide proofs that he used GT, I would have gladly rejected his entry if he was found guilty. But given the benefit of the doubt situation, we accepted his entry. 

I I used to work for a translation agency of India and they asked me to work for blockchain projects and gave me this account. But this was 1 year ago. And I i can translate Italian the same paragraph in 10 different ways.If you think I am lying then come on Telegram. Whoever knows italian comes to talk to me. Only he can tell whether I can speak Italian or not. if you know italian then you come.
https://t.me/@PICC0L0LATTE_4


If you think that's done by GT then You translate the same documents into Google. If the same answer comes from Google Translate, then I will step back and leave this platform on my own, I'll go back to the freelancer or other platform. Translate a few paragraphs and see if same answer comes in GT, then after that I have said that what i will do. And I don't even know how to run this platform very well and don't know much options of btt. I can toggle its options or change them.



If still, someone can provide proofs that he got paid illegitimately, We will apologize and next time will be more careful about such situations. And I will pay some bonus to the guys who in the first place pointed it out.


Title: Re: Bounty scammer get payed without troubles... warnings just ignored
Post by: bitbollo on October 21, 2021, 08:41:29 PM
no proofs

Did you pretend also that I will evidence any stupid things on that shit?! and It's more trusted for you a newbie with no trades than a DT2 Legendary User?
or maybe did you have some doubts that I am a real Italian or I am really able to speak in Italian?!?  :-*

What is your job technically?!  I mean it's an entire FAKE TRANSLATION!  
Everything created on this "translation" was just a complete shit.

It was something so evident and clear that... I have sent private message and posted many times in topic (other users have also highlighted the issue, seriously you have seen the messages?).
 
You have just ignored, and not check anything....also you have payed him

Despite you think ??? (really!?!?!?! = LOL ;D )
"that an indian guy active in indian board and not speaking in italian section"
can be reliable ok.
Let's take this bullshit as a "valid apology" ;D ok ....
Oh Yes "he work for a translation agency" in the same way I work for actually for NASA, FBI, and CIA....
but I am Italian speaking Italian living in ITALY!
Yes it is possible. It can be possible. Can you post please some evidences that I am not really work for NASA FBI and CIA?
meh.


someone can provide proofs that he got paid illegitimatel

Have you read this topic? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366504.0) (This ONE !?) ;D

I will do a selection for you.
I confirm

I don't know what does this sentence means in Italian.

Mine has been already pointed out.

"next time will be more careful"

It seems you are an expert on THAT ARGUMENT! How did you have so much proficiency in Italian Language and so many other languages?!?!?

I mean,  how many times has been already pointed out with your campaigns?
Other languages also?

@irfan_pak10, is the translators on your list guaranteed? I doubt the ability of some of the people on your list.
....
I hope you are more selective. Your recommendations affect the development of the project in the future. A translator should really be able to answer questions in their language well.

Each time I have reported something to a bounty manager I received a reply without opening a couple of topic in REPUTATION.
Please, this time, don't let me wait again one month and half without reply ....

Since the D_DOT (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=D_DOT) account is banned, I think his other account should be banned as well.
Please note that if D_DOT was the "translator" into Italian, the Adalgarp (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5356393.msg57965737#msg57965737) the account claims to be a Portuguese translator and also speaks German (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240221.msg54262051#msg54262051). Probably it is worth checking his work as well.

Awaklara has already raised topics about these accounts, and the transfer of tokens to one wallet.
3 Accounts Connected
1. Adalgarp (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2796363)
2. Manish2809 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2692877)
3. D_DOT (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2803773)
Excuse me, but how are these three accounts connected? I can't see what links them from the posts you quoted as proof! Am I missing something?

For those who received the tokens before other bounty hunters, did they join the translation campaign? If yes then that may explain it. Translators usually get their rewards earlier since they deliver their work before other participants.


Also, food for thought

My heuristic approach to investment tends to avoid putting my hard-earned money into projects that cannot even assess the quality of their own whitepaper translation.
I don't know how many next-bitcoin or next- amazon I failed to invest in, probably zero.

If there would have been a next-bitcoin or next-amazon, we would have heard of it :D
A project can be good even if it's not next-bitcoin. But you're right, there may be maybe 1% of all the projects that worth taking a first look into, and so many signs are there one doesn't even have to get to the whitepaper. And if the team couldn't double check at least the English white paper... yeah...
...But I did say that the logic in that post stands most of time :D

Totally agree with you, a serious team that's serious about building a business/a company that would stand the test of time and not just a project, would willingly put in the work required, and one of this is that every thing, from the website, to the whitepaper, to the social handles, and to the community management, everything should be up to standard, well prepaid and managed, they can't be serious with one part and neglect the other, thinking no one would take a look or care, one bad egg together with good eggs in one basket causes every egg in that basket to look bad and smell.

I'm not very good with English, everyone knows
but as an Italian, I know I know Italian well (at least)
indeed, most of the posts are on my local board (I want to make it grow even more)

I can say that as an Italian, it is not correct and it is quite strange
lol

There is a guy from INDIA (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352156.msg57863117#msg57863117) that translate in ITALIAN language but he use some "unknown" words meaning everything (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352156.msg57835108#msg57835108).
Clearly ( ::) ) he is not Italian nor he can just say or write correctly "CIAO".
Despite several warnings (see below the full list), he get payed from bounty manager.  ???

Hey guys, would you think creating some sort of "translator blacklist" would be a good idea? It'd be hosted here at the reputation board, and I have some sort of idea on how to develop it. Problem is, end of the day most of these translators simply work for shitprojects, so it could be a total waste of time

Let me know what you think of it

If still, someone can provide proofs that he got paid illegitimately, We will apologize and next time will be more careful about such situations. [/b]And I will pay some bonus to the guys who in the first place pointed it out.

Sorry yesterday I didn't reply to this part. @irfan_pak10

this guy it's me! Seriously you haven't understood already? Can I make a sketch? My english is literally so bad?!?
It should be clear. No bonus. Nothing, please.
It has been done not for any monetary or secondary purpose.
(very important = PECUNIA OLET AT LEAST FOR ME)

I created this topic to pointed out a situation with a lot of problems/issues:
- projects (it these are really "projects") get a shitty job despite money involved. They are aware? Any complaints?
- italians are completely excluded from these small tasks (no money/no sharing/no ideas nothing)
- this is a clear scam. a lot of fraud translation have been availed by unknown newbie.
- forum has been demolished by so many scammer/shit poster/ spammer etc etc and I don't want spend my precious time on a place that seems more a place for scammers than a place to talk about bitcoin.
- it's clear you have done absolutely nothing. And I am taking my situation as a CLEAR EXAMPLE of a wayto work.
Yep you didn't nothing, before any warnings, before paying him (you didn't reply to my post/other posts / Private message).

In his comments, Where he mentioned, that if anyone can provide proofs that he used GT, I would have gladly rejected his entry if he was found guilty. But given the benefit of the doubt situation, we accepted his entry. 

since you don't understand Italian very well either, maybe you should still accept suggestions from people whose native language is Italian. especially if they are already proven members here.
looking for more evidence here is pointless.

If still, someone can provide proofs that he got paid illegitimately, We will apologize and next time will be more careful about such situations. And I will pay some bonus to the guys who in the first place pointed it out.

the point is that you don't have to apologize here. You should apologize to your employers, campaigns owners. they are damaged here because they paid for something badly done, the result is that this unprofessionalism will be reflected on them.
Just imagine what their potential Italian investor those who do not read this thread and your apology will think of them, they could not do a correct translation.

It's no big deal if you count or don't few retweets, but for things like this, you should have zero-tolerance.

That's the thing he lacks as I see it, the one month that @bitbollo provided pieces of evidence and details stating it's a lousy translation job, that's more than enough I guess that he lacks the tolerance.

I don't think it will just be a total waste of time if there are attentive bounty managers that will open translation bounties in the future. Some of these translator wannabes do tend to apply if the rate is huge even on some legit projects and it's a good thing if bounty managers have this list to look for. I think it's a good idea.

Can you take a look here please? I am giving the time to reply but it seems you don't care at this point.

I have other /questions/other "strange stuffs" to post here :) regarding your campaigns (yes already saved/archived ::) ).

[E.G, it seems I am not the first "Italian" that is ignored by you... meanwhile other people are able to speak several languages  ::) LOL ]

I am not asking too much I guess.... If you don't want post here or you don't have any excuse to explain these "strange stuffs" it's ok for me :P just to be aware :)

Actually, It would be a good idea, As I have created a list of all the translators, we can actually go through their previous work and see how many of them were fake - And we can add them to the blacklist. I had some permanent translators and some backup, and usually ask my backup translators to review the translation. Actually we can ask those permanent one's if they would like to review their native language translators, as it would take them few min to get an idea if the translation is done by a native or that someone used GT.

OK. this not means (at least for ME ::) ) that your answer was satisfactory or has minimum logical sense.
And I should not ask more question or try to understand a bit more :) ?

Oh yes, sure... " e la marmotta che confezionava la cioccolata" (not italians please check YT here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEpiC5Sn5FU)

A newbie without trust that has never created a topic in Italian language or section.
He is more trusted then an active user... that is also a member of Bitcoin Foundation Italian! ;D since ..some years but yes .

Thank you definitely, you are just confirming step by step that you were clearly aware of what was going on.


Please can you explain to me this:

definitely speaking D_DOT has been always your Italian point of reference.
I am seriously curious to know WHY you need help by Italian translator (LOL ;D in your group ;D hahahahhaha)
THE DAY AFTER D_DOT Confirmed he is not using Google Translate (!!!)

(ULTRA LOL ;D I AM ITALIAN I DON'T USE GT TO CHECK IF SOME ONE HE IS REALLY A MOTHER TONGUE!)
meanwhile you have not replied to any of my warnings in private or pubblic. You have just payed him.

I mean this think has no excuse. More you try to give shitty explanation and more It's something weird that you have no idea that a Legendary User Dt2 that write a lot in Italian section was less trusted than a NEWBIE with 0 post in italian section!  ???
https://i.ibb.co/qDhSSBm/Schermata-2021-10-23-alle-09-27-34.png (https://imgbb.com/)

in this screenshot there is another famous user that there is ready to get help.
famous because he has already connected with suspicious other alt-accounts. ( I have proof ready to be posted but .... there are so many scammers in group managed by you and your bounty that is seriously harder catch ALL SCAMMERS and ALL CONNECTIONS)

Just matter of time :)


complaint
No. I don't want waste time for you or with you.
I don't want post each question or observation 2 times since you don't want to reply clearly.

I have explained several ISSUES with this kind of "translations" .
[If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.”]
Definitely my questions are not too much focused to you but to an entire community of people that follow bitcoin and bitcointalk.
Just to be clear since you are not really smart with this shady way to reply to me (or also ignoring me for weeks and weeks and replied ONLY NOW IN THIS TOPIC!!!! ;) )


list of translators?
are you serious? I mean you have availed several scammers in several fake translation.
It's something weird/dismal/crazy that YOU PRETEND to create a TRUSTED LIST OF TRANSLATORS.

this is a point that has been already pointed out with translators involved in your bounty project (likewise D_DOT was your Italian ;D preferred and he is just an altaccount of another vietnamese translator, proof posted TODAY HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg58273278#msg58273278) and HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5365814.msg58273422#msg58273422)

I don't know if you are just trying to "close the eyes" but .... I am literally shocked about your behavior since you are from a while in this forum.  Also enough time that posting ponzi was something "accepted".


EDIT
As you know fake Italian translator was D_DOT.
As I have posted HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg58273278#msg58273278) and HERE (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5365814.msg58273422#msg58273422) this guy is actually a "vietnamese translator".

USERNAME = anobtc

The guys that was producing fake translation in ITALIANO with this username on forum = ANO BTC .

ANO
BTC

 ::) ???

(foreigners please check by yourself what it means in Italian....  :'( I can't post a picture... sorry .... I confess this explain clearly why these translation are simply s*it)

Please note =
I was able to detect ALL this connections with D_DOT and other alt-accounts (69+) including

ANO
BTC

 ::) ???

in just a couple of hours in total.

What is really absurd to me ::) is that  I am not a BOUNTY MANAGER with literally NO EXPERIENCE IN SUCH TYPE OF RESEARCH ;) but I WAS ABLE THE SAME TO CATCH TENS OF SCAMMERS ULTRA LOL ;D LIKEWISE DURING "DRINKING A COFFEE " AND WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF ECONOMIC INTEREST/PAYMENT ETC ETC ETC....

THIS IS SELF-EXPLANATORY ! ;)

I would love to see your complaints/ Actually anyone's complaints and will process them [Should have some valid proofs.]

Last but not least...
You continue to deny that there is an issue, You continue to deny PROOFS!
My complaints are not enough? You seriously have not clear after a couple of months? Why You call COMPLAINTS ?
I have seen everything than a complaints since I AM NOT PAYED by this bounty.... just warnings!!!

Actually anyone's complaints and will process them [Should have some valid proofs.]

Generally speaking, did you means,
that if I am the only that is complaining from Italy this is something that doesn't give importance to me or what I have posted here? Or maybe you have likewise a limite of people before you take care about an issue or a scam?

Moreover, about PROOFS:
I have seen, @duesoldi @fillippone @babo replies on this topic.
I don't know no one in person ( ::) ) but since they are active from several years in Italian section and they know very well tradition history culture etc etc ......

Again, you need other
Proofs?
More Complaints?
You need some help again a couple of months of explanation by several users also this time?
More connections with D_DOT and people enrolled in your bounty?
Other scammers/fake translator in your bounty/telegram group?

I mean "PICC0LOLATTE" It's something weird and stupid that no one idiot in Italy will use as a nick name but I mean.... I am asking rethorical question, there are enough evidences for others forum users to make their free OPINION.

shouldn't you be looking for some of the previous work from the translator? also checking post history, it is easy to determine if the user has any connection to the language for which he is offering translation.
honestly, I'm surprised that after so much experience and campaign you've been managing, you still don't have your own list of quality translators.

We do have out own list, but lately many of them are inactive, so we had to go with the new translators. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fTtJCSqHBLkhWIbbiqR0Y7DnRfrDYoIEVaKGn0O6VYM/edit?usp=sharing

Figures you'd have to do that, since the user is already banned from the forum...

I'll try to create the blacklist I mentioned earlier in a few hours, but come on... It does look like you are saying you are taking some action AFTER you have no other choice. I know altcoin bounties are worse than the wild west, but managers shouldn't be the ones encouraging it

As I mentioned before we use to hire our permanent translators [Permanent Italian translators - unsoindovo & Luigi21] and which I believe are very good, seeing their previous work. But recently they were active so we tried finding a new one and D_DOT got a history a translation job, He actually joined many campaigns before managed by reputed managers and got accepted in them. So we hired him as our translator for Foobee campaigns.

[edit]

We only used him recently in our last few campaigns, from which I can he got paid in only one. I will be rejecting him in the campaigns where he has yet to get paid/

Edit 2

I'm sorry irfan_pak10, but your answer does not add up. You ignored the proof of one Italian guy and asked for confirmation from another Italian guy? What's the difference? Did you have a special reason for not believing bitbollo in the first place? Or at least for not verifying his claim?

Removing D_DOT from our translator list,
WOW So you are confirming that he was "not removed" until now, or generally unless banned or unless pointed out by tens of member?
The fact that he has been payed in FEW campaign it's just shocking .
Because other people (fake translator) get payed in your campaign

Moreover,
This is a sort of concession to me or to Italian Community? Have you seen that this is another alt-account of VIETNAMESE TRANSLATOR?
STOP I WILL NOT LINK ANYMORE NOTHING ;) there are enough proofs :)

and with the next translation bounty, I will hire backup guys to review the translations job.
LOL ;D
Here it's the same STOP. I WILL NOT MAKE ANY OTHER RESEARCH.

arif90900 - Italian ALTACCOUNT DDOT
gamezal - German
Manish2809 (Hindi) - ALTACCOUNT DDOT
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ejZ-_hCJhbZbLBwDmYX2n3_V201WQwtkJIWJ5wtkD7I/edit#gid=480175974

It's clear these guys are genius since they are also able to speak (in your campaign) this language.

gamezal - Russian
arif90900 - French
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ObeZgIaX66LtIOYoGD4VSw6gfjJ88kcd3AbFWjcpMbo/edit?usp=sharing

I have taken just the FIRST 2 SPREADSHEET THIS MORNING (7 and half Rome Time)
This means that in a less then 15-20 minutes I have been able to detect at least 2 fake translators from your campaign.
please note I am not speaking other languages but I can confirm that these guys are not speaking so many languages (and casually .... all are altaccount of D_DOT / Manish2809 /
ANOBTC (he is still my favorite ;) ...) / arif90900 /

And I was able to detect just checking 2 spreadsheet in few minutes...early morning.
did you have never noticed that these guys were able to speaking several languages?
PS this is "your job" and  you have you topic "list of translator" and more over a complete excel. If you don't get it............ ::)

At this point, your "clients" are aware that people enrolled in your translation seems able to speak several languages?

And you are completely unable to make your verify or understand correctly who is a trusted guy or who don't?
Or this guy create content from 8 years in Italian section. Definitely a Newbie "from India" it's more trusted and more logical sense  ::) LOL ;D at least is funny for me.


@Stalker22
I have posted a screenshot were it was clear ... that he was not interested to have a look on my reply.

He has availed this explanation (andI mean and I repeat, we are talking with a kind of expert in this field, but he was not able to detect a clear scam with multi account and pointed out by a DT2 User with several trust, active here.... from several years).


@D_DOT, This spammer is an indian. But he translate Italian language. So its simple that he used GT.


If you think that's done by GT then You translate the same documents into Google. If the same answer comes from Google Translate, then I will step back and leave this platform on my own, I'll go back to the freelancer or other platform. Translate a few paragraphs and see if same answer comes in GT, then after that I have said that what i will do. And I don't even know how to run this platform very well and don't know much options of btt. I can toggle its options or change them.

Well @irfan_pak10 thinks that this is a valid explanation (in fact he has not replied to me and payed him).
They (both guys) were thinking that "if this is not translated with GT this is ok" .... LOL
And I have discovered a lot of data just as hobby? Plus it's FULL OF ALT ACCOUNTS of "D_DOT" (ANOBTC yes he is still my favourite!!!) in translation list?

MA MIA FACCIA IL PIACERE (foreigners please check YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa3a50pLmu8 )

What this fake translator did is crazy and I think that managers should also be responsible for something like this, so @irfan_pak10 you should know that you are putting your reputation on the line for him.

I think that many translators from bitcointalk are just using google or other machine translations that are getting better and better, but they are still not good enough to correctly translate large documents like whitepapers.
There was even a case in our local forum with one member who was doing just that while he was using several alt accounts, he didn't stop even after we told him to stop doing that, but he ended up being banned now for plagiarism.
People are doing cheating like this even if they are speaking the language because it's faster and usually there is nobody to check the translation, that is the biggest problem.

@irfan_pak10
I mean could you avoid please to pay such very low quality user? this is what he has posted in italian section:
Op non ti preoccupare perché il thread che vuoi vedere è il problema principale Lo sto guardando anche io, quindi siamo gli stessi che abbiamo visto l'immagine che vogliamo vedere è il problema.

Quote
don't worry because the thread you want to see is the main problem I'm looking at it too, so we are the same ones we saw the image we want to see is the problem.

LOL! yes in english maybe this has a sense but the translation is a complete SHIT!




and....to "mr scammer fake italian"  
please remember that Italian is one of the hardest language that you can learn.
you don't know anything about our history so this is why you have such ludicrous result easy to be detected.

Even you can find a "good translator" you will be detected because you don't know nothing about "our tradition and many other things that only ITALIANI knows ;)

So what you're doing  It's just a waste a time like an idiot ;)
just my 2 cents but probably the same applies also to any other language..... so I guess it's ok this "money making machine" is OVER!
:P

I would say the above quoted paragraph has no sense whatsoever in Italian. Bitbollo is right, Italian is a difficult language, and this translator provides a very low quality work.
