If there's abuse ongoing and you have proof, feel free to open a topic in Meta / Reputation about it and present your proof. I'll review your reports and if other members from your local board agree to your report, I might issue a translation ban for certain members or even leave a trust feedback.

I did gave him a warning, though. And the next day, he deleted his translation. It's still in the archive, but I see no reason to bring it up. If he does it again, I'll report it on the reputation board this time.

Just like the AOBT thread, you can make another thread dedicated to those who checks the quality of a translation. To verify the authenticity of their translation. For every language, 3–4 reputed users should be sufficient, in case some are busy. You know? Like some sort of a gang. Wink

Alright, I'll try to create a topic to weed out bad translations, where everyone can contribute his 2 cents.
I've just received a bunch of new requests, so I'll list all of them in my new topic. I would start next week to create that topic and will link it here as well, of course.
Everyone would be invited as well to report bad translations from his local board.  Smiley
Great initiative 1miau. Best of luck.  Wink



I already suspect this and even criticize it on our local board. This guy will reveal their true color one day for sure. We already have some eagle eyes in the forum so what they are doing will be caught eventually one by one. I also saw how these accounts were circulating merit from one account to another. So if somehow one of them got a merit from the global board these people would earn them eight merits by circulating them through all of these eight accounts. 
The problem is, that we don't want to ruin others' reputations. But if they take this chance and utilize it in a bad way, this is not going to be good for them or for the local community. There are some genuine users and genuine users feel like they are writing a useless post because they see that shit posts getting merited in front of their eyes while genuine users only watch them. We always want to give them the benefit of doubts but now they are using it.

Here is a little example. Every sMerit was distributed in the local thread. Not even a single sMerit on the global board. All these merits are cycling in local threads, creating a farming network. Even if one or two sMerits got out of the local thread, they ended up with local members. I didn't mentioned the user's name, but I'm sure you guys already know these users. I immediately stopped sending out my sMerits after realizing this. Although there is no evidence of any kind abuse, but I know you guys can feel that something is wrong.
