Re: Requesting for a Bengali translation and Press release sub board
⭐ Merited by Rikafip (1)
I have no doubt about your dedication and professionalism in the forum. What the point of my statement was, is that a lot or enough to send 10 to 20 merits for a translation.
Yes, it quite a decent amount but in my opinion, a good translation also deserves some sort of reward. Because a good translation can be quite a lot of work. It's beneficial for the community to have high quality content translated into local languages because it will also lead to Google Search spotting these guides / articles etc..
For example, someone types in Google Search in your native language "What's a SegWit Address?" and some guides / articles on Bitcointalk will show up.
That's helping a lot of people and generating clicks for Bitcointalk.
I know it is up to the merit source but what i am seeing is that none of these translations are being read by the local member as this post doesn't get any discussion after being posted.
That's again only an issue because your local board is not a proper one. It's messy because you only have one big thread about everything. Developers of Bitcointalk should change that and it's important to change that.
If it's changed = problem solved
Contrary to what happens after so much merit distribution, a lot of new translators have tried to translate post some with permission and some don't with google translator without any basic skill in translation. What encourages them to behave like this?
You can report them in Reputation and if proven (multiple established members of your local board confirm this), the offenders will get a ton of neutral (if not negative) trust. Problem solved, they won't do that again.
For being ranked 7 among all the languages in the word we deserve a local board of our own.
Definitely, you deserve that and I support you. But I can't tell you why the forum is such a massive embarrassment to get (even easy) things done.
I admit we are having trouble having a lot of spamming activity in our board but it is an active board and new members are joining and posting there.
+1It's very important to discourage shitposting. You have my support here.
I don't know the right approach to request for a board of our own but as you are one of the moderators of the forum i am not sure you can help us anyway or not but we will be really appreciate it.
LOL, I'm not a moderator of Bitcointalk, I'm just a Merit source. So, no, I'm not a moderator here...
(At least I didn't know about that).
