For a long time, I thought that this local board was a small group of 5-10 people with several alt accounts.

That's not true. I know a few individual users as I was offering BTC buy-sell service. Most of them don't care about signature campaigns thus, they don't care about merit either. On top of that, I have referred at least 5-6 users who are here to learn and they are doing fine although they aren't active/much active in the local board. I'm active in a Facebook group and whenever I find some questions which I can't answer perfectly, I used to refer them the forum.

Are your local smeriters not native speakers?
Granting the new local board's request won't change this practice. I think the main problem isn't the translators, but you have a compulsive local smeriter. Try to conducive to this point first. I support providing your local board but not for the sole reason of wanting to prevent users from ranking up.

Mostly they are the original topic owner. I barely merited translated topics unless they are from my interest and contain some significant information/discussion.

I have done multiple translations for Gazeta and he was always pleased with my work.

I was okay with your translation and Learn Bitcoin. But after that a lot of people started doing that and to be honest, I started feeling bored which also affected my local thread activity.

I can tell you that for each translator of each language, I have requested a proofreading of established native speakers to make sure that these translations are not Google translate spam.

May I know who are they? Because I found this translation a garbage to be honest as the translator has no idea about the translation he did despite the topic containing more of in general information instead of technical explanation.

If you are really interested in the topic you translated

The reply isn't based on the quoted text but the word caught my attention. If someone is really interested in a topic, they can use this forum, search on Google, and learn more about the topic. They don't need to translate a topic even (no problem if they do either). If someone puts a valid question here about cryptocurrency in the local, I'm always ready to answer them and if I don't know the answer, I spend hours behind that and make sure that I'm not spreading wrong information. I want to spread Bitcoin and explain Bitcoin (as much as I know).
