I tried to adapt this topic as much as possible for the Russian community and have already received the expected criticism.

Don't be discouraged because a few (possibly) uneducated but (at least) shitpost apologists or even low-level posters have appeared there and tried to belittle our campaign. It happened in my local board as well: the most butthurt offenders will show up there and belittle any effort to increase posting quality. It's nothing unexpected and it's a good sign that our topic is overdue.
I've addressed the criticism here more in detail because it's off-topic in AOBT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409763.msg62911675#msg62911675

It might appear that some sorts of translations are causing indeed a considerable amount of discomfort, especially "advertising" translations. We had some experts in our local board. And I've had discussions with our incompetent moderator @mole0815 in the past as well but that was only because he didn't move them into the appropriate sub-section (project development, as we don't have a sub-section for project ANNs). In my opinion, "advertising" translations are legitimate* but should be posted in a section, where they belong and are not offensive.

1miau, no one (including me) is saying that advertising translations are something bad. My proposal initially was that translators of service announcements should also at least once test the service they are writing about.

...

Well, any sort of "advertising" translations getting offered here (or not getting offered) is not my issue because I'm not a member of AOBT.
Porifiiri even opposed it from what I can see.
But maybe we can have a clarification what this post should achieve?
I don't want to misinterpret it and that's why I've only cited the most obvious parts.
To keep it on-topic here, I would like to suggest to keep the discussion about our posting quality campaign in the dedicated topics.
