It was very frustrating for me to deal with the ultimatums I received via messages while I was dealing with a reported abuser. I did not take the report at face value so I had to waste too much time looking into that while dealing with that person pestering me almost constantly. I was fed up with everything. I apologize for being short-tempered.
The experience has made me recticent to add any new people. But I have learned what not to do in the future.
Reading the profile often tells a lot… someone’s profile says “I speak English and Z”. If this person suddenly applies to translate from Chinese and Korean into English or even do the translation edit, I’d ask myself why this person suddenly knows all of these languages after previously stating that they (only) know English and Z. Just maybe.
Same in regard to someone who explains why they know a certain language. Below, they state that they can translate from Thai/Japanese/Korean to English. Now, they were appointed as TE for Chinese (or something). Where does Chinese even come from? What about the other languages?
Nowadays, it seems like everyone can do this. Some people even seemingly turn the presubs into something worse (in German we call this “verschlimmbessern” meaning that someone tries to improve something and manages to make it even worse).
I got the same one today, the account was created today too blocking the username lovelaura443_467 everywhere ! Who told me to say Hello! Also reported.
This spammer/abuser has been “busy” sending out PMs all over the Viki map today.
Reported!
Not sure if it went through. I’m puzzled by the “personal particulars not present” message (in pink box) after clicking “submit”. The profile is still online.
Our dear fake friend got deleted as well, but he returned already to edit Thai as a Korean Editor, sub Korean, do translation edit for Japanese, subtitle from Chinese to English, sub Portuguese as an English subtitler and of course edit Galician. Anyway, please watch out for people who claim to be Thai and claim to know every kind of language… as usual.
