https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=82538 this user had warning for plagiarism already so I suppose plagiarism strike can be added for him (new case of plagiarism is here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=289160.msg1416847#msg1416847)

Sorry for bumping this thread. It seems the thread is not active for a while. I was searching for additional rules like AI posts report thread, Auto translated report thread. I am not even sure if these are allowed or not. I would love to know If using AI is allowed or not. I believe It should not be allowed and users should get some kind of penalty for using AI to write their content. Another thing is, that I noticed that some users in my local board used Automatic translators like Google translate to translate the topic. Is it a punishable offense? Where should we report that?

If it is an enedited low quality translation with a link to a source, you can give it -karma. You can inform me and I will give additional -karma. If they'll continue the same, then I can issue a warning for a low quality posting. Several warnings or big enough violation can lead to a strike badge.

If it is a translation without a link to a source, it is a plagiarism and you can share it in this topic. First they'll get a warning, if they'll proceed, they'll get a plagiarist badge.

Let's wait for a clarification of admin or president.

What If I say the moderator of our Local board used an automatic translator to translate important threads, and those were pinned, too? Here is one of the examples, which I believe was translated using an automatic translator: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=192081.0. I haven't even finished reading that post yet.

But then, it was highly modified. I am a translator myself, and I have used automatic translators to understand things that I do not understand. Then, I write it in my own words. But when someone just copy-paste and then edit it a little bit to make it understandable, that should not be appreciated.

If it is edited so that text looks more or less good, then it's not the biggest problem. Is the result a low quality post? If no, let it be. Probably there can be changes with time, but users are not paid for translations and if they look more or less good and don't have specific for automated translation mistakes... well, as I said, not the biggest problem.

It's not because he's a moderator, the same quality assessment method can be used for translations of a regular users as well: if the post is edited enough that the result doesn't look as a low quality post, then let it be.

If the result is a low quality post, then let's see what we can do with it.

Yes, it is my fault for not including the link of the original thread but there's a reason for that why I didn't put the link of the original thread. This was years ago where einax created their own exchange (I think they shutdown or maybe they just abandoned their BTT forum account. Before I posted this topic, I was asking einax first if it's fine if I reposted the thread and also a translation. einax did reply and said that I can freely do as I please which means einax gave me permission. I only reply here to explain this. While I was writing this, I also did check the messages on BTT since I asked einax's permission by sending einax a PM but I think the message between me and einax are pruned and also their telegram group seems abandoned.

I just wanted to know the rules regarding the translations and usage of automatic translators. Yes, Rules for moderators and users should be equal. I don't know how many times he edited the thread and for which reason, because the thread was created back in 2021 and I was not there to know how it was before the edit.

But, the thread still does not read too good. If forum administration do not see any problem using automatic translator, I am no one to complain about it. I just act according to the rules and that's it.

Yes and thank you for your intentions on making the forum better! +karma

As for now there are no strict rules on translations and I think we should be flexible in evaluating. If something is really bad, if some translation doesn't have a source link or has other reasons to pay additional attention to it, then we should act.

How bad is the thread you are talking about? If it is hard to read and there can be some misunderstanding, we can try to deal with it. Try to make your own translation, let's see what other native speakers will say. If it will be better, it is possible that it can replace an old translation. As for me, I can read Bengali only with an online translator, so I can't evaluate it by myself anyhow.

You're welcome, buddy!

No, It's really hard to read. As a native speaker, I can read it and understand what he was trying to say. But, sometimes, better wording can improve such guides. Since the forum does not have strict rules about it, I should not blame him for the work that he did free of cost.

Now, If you talk about my own translation, I can do it, but my translations take ages to complete because I have a lot of work, and I do translations in my free time. Recently, I also joined AOBT on BitcoinTalk as a main translator and I have done some work before. I guess I will apply for a translator badge at some point.

Okay. I never thought I had to report the plagiarism of Padawan users. The user is a Moderator of this forum. Translator and Bounty manager as well. I am sorry if this user is the writer of that website. But, He is unlikely to be a writer there.

Nice catch of big fish. 
Teleported crew started a special secret cleaning job, so all members better be careful what you are doing.
Do we have any list of all active moderators and admins in altcoinstalks forum?
