Negative tag for not a valid explanation of why a poor translator was picked?
Not for that; but for doing absolutely no check.

You can never know what they are doing as yoh can't read every language. You want to proof read the translation? If you are managing the translation from the forum, you still can't be sure that the proof reading part was done accurately.
Agreed, but this particular case was as simple as picking some random strings of text, and seeing that 100% of them are a match to google translate. The same way signature campaign managers have tu ensure their spammy users don't get paid, I don't think asking for some control here is something crazy.

But how many managers hire translator who are reputed in the forum. And reputed people also don't work with bounty rewards.
It’s not easy to pick and ensure a quality translator from this forum because there are cheaters who want to translate all the languages and get all the rewards.
Although I also agree, that's reallly the managers' problem, not ours. And maybe, and only maybe, if more people refused to be paid in some made up shittoken, we'd start seeing some real projects flourish, instead of the constant scamfest the Altcoin section has become.




I also looked at this user's posts. Didn't he break the rule?
Yes he did, that's why I reported over 200 of his posts yesterday before falling asleep, and will continue to do so today; 91 post pages are no joke to check manually. I did see that he has some local posts in other languages, but I can't judge whether they are real or another google trasnlate job; I'd love if the people speaking those languages would hop in and start reporting them aswell.




I made some random checks on his first "jobs" too, dating 2016, and not very surprisingly, they were the same machine translation material; together with some shitposts. I would appreciate if someone could make a list of all the managers he has worked under, and PM them to come here to give some explanation. By allowing this kind of unprofessional job, they let him create a huge portfolio that helped him get onboard more projects. I already PM'd the 2 managers mentioned in OP, BountyDetective replied back saying they were going to investigate the case before responding here and the other guy has yet to reply
