Maybe I can start to set up an attempt to bring this topic to more local boards or as we have discussed recently, where I was planning to launch a topic, where people could link their recent posts and good ones would receive an additional chunk of Merit if the requirements are met. At least, Merit is meant that way: to reward quality posts.

Then perhaps this also the right moment to remind to all users of this topic that they can show their involvement too by translating and adapting this topic in their local boards:

That's always a good idea. Some topics can be very specific for certain local boards (of if the creator of the original topic has shared some of his thoughts).

And when talkin about adapting, something similar comes to my mind (but much more on a basic level):
The best candidates are the ones, where the reference link is added below ( Roll Eyes

) the translated text and when readers are starting to read the post, we can't see that it's a translation and might be tricked into thinking OP (of the translation) would be the originalcreator of the text.
Doing so, is some sort of very shady Merit fishing. Cry

A proper translation will aways display the reference link right away.

Translations

Romanian - GazetaBitcoin
German - 1miau

And, speaking of that, I was wondering if 1miau could add these translations to the OP?

Adding in my German local board version, do you mean?

I am very sorry to hear how things are working inside German board. For sure, the situation does not look good. The mod from that section should act with a strong hand against spam -- or, in case the workload is too much for him, perhaps he can ask for some help...?

Indeed, dear GazetaBitcoin, indeed (the bold part)...
Perhaps help is necessary but after my report from yesterday got overturned, I'm less optimistic. I've reported an ANN translation to be moved in our dedicated sub-board for this (Project Development (Projektentwicklung)) and the ANN topic also was (correctly) moved there by the mod at first, but then, the translator (Cricktor) complained why his ANN translation got moved to the other ANN translations and mole0815 moved it back to the prominent German front page. And Cricktor told mole0815 to move it back because it would be more visible on the front page. It's important to note here, that the dedicated sub-board didn't play any role in this argumentation, just the better visibility.
So, ANN topics can now be posted directly on the prominent front page on our German local board, while there's a dedicated sub-board for all project in construction and finished ones (ANN), called "Projektentwicklung" (Project Development). Roll Eyes

This won't end in a total mess, won't it? Cheesy

Anyways, I've explained Cricktor that visibility doesn't matter, where a topic should be placed. Only the content of a topic is relevant, where it's getting placed and "Projektentwicklung" is, where all ANN threads are placed (except Altcoins, Altcoin ANN's belong to our German Altcoins section).
Maybe it's helpful to get some order in this again....
