On the upside, the thread https://discussions.viki.com/t/should-vikis-paid-subbers-be-overwriting-volunteers/44219/129 did last for 19 days and it didn’t disappear, it just got locked!
At the time of the original posting, because I know viki’s penchant for squelching complaints, I predicted this would happen:
“I hope those of you who are volunteer subbers at viki have an opportunity to read this. I believe that this post will disappear very rapidly! Anyone care to guess how long this thread will exist?”
This is symptomatic of treatment of volunteers versus the solution for viewer complaining of speed of subtitles:
Viewer complaints of speed of subbing ==> Solution, hire paid subbers who overwrite volunteers still working on the subtitles
Volunteers complains about being overwritten ==> Solution, close thread from further comments by other volunteers
Volunteer complains about viki staff closing the thread ==> Solution, close thread from further comments by other volunteers. Does anyone believe this will NOT happen? It’s not “if”, it is a matter of “when”
