The problem.I see is:
- not letting us a choice in this: we are not guiny pigs.
And when V makes such decision, we feel you force us to be guiny pigs.
“You are free to edit the translation machine.” Free? Where is freedom in it? Do we have a choice? How can we feel we are free in such situation?
It’s tyrannical, restrictive and binding us.
V didn’t ask us, the main people involved, to know the situation before taking this decision.
Does a doctor suggest a solution without asking some questions to his patients? Since when, where does it hurt, how do you feel?
There are some steps before finding a solution or remedies (if a problem indeed exists).
There was near 0% listening in volunteers whereas full teams of volunteers and their viewers are impacted.
Delaying it for 7 days is not what we want and is not a solution.
-
a lack of transparency with volunteers: if it’s to improve their bot, shouldn’t V tell us clearly?
“Using us” is the feeling you convey to us if you hide it. -
hyprocrisy, limits of carpet/car sellers: using the excuse that the drama was not finished in French translation to call their bot to erase correct translations.
They got to explain why they delete the edited translation of the first episodes to replace it with a bot to make us edit again.
Where is the respect of these volunteers? Do you know they put their nights and free time for it? I have dark circles and I sleep really bad, you should take into account volunteers well-being instead of adding to our plate.
All their hard work is lost because you deleted their hard work and you ask us to re-do the work for full ep. It is beginning again from 0.
Where can I see “producitivty” in that?
-
the bot could be implemented on other channels. Again, discussing with us.
-
if from step 0, they didn’t pick the correct and active manager or didn’t care while it wasn’t translated for more than a year…
How can we, volunteers, take on their job? It is not in our powers to replace a CM or a moderator and we are already busy with our own channels to take care of others’ channels. How can we be everywhere?
There are some things Viki should take responsibility for and not delegating some tasks to us, nor the responsibility to us.
When we disagree, you tell us something else and you continue to pick the same inactive people or who didn’t finish their projects or take care in finishing them.
Why should other active volunteers and their translations be taken hostage because someone else was not there?
Of course if Viki doesn’t take active volunteers, who is going to recruit competent people, the team and translate and edit?
Of course if Viki doesn’t folllow or ask some news during the year, they can stay inactive and the channel can sleep.
Of course, volunteers can’t do anything if the person is active on the website but not on a channel they manage.
Of course, we can’t check everyone and do the work of the CM you pick.
V let them, and I am not a detective or it’s not my job to do reports and again reports or take someone else’s channel to manage or mdoerare if I can’t or don’t want.
Even when we do reports, it takes 1 month to correct a 3-min video that an abuser butchered.
- The inactiivity of some CM or moderators shouldn’t sanction other volunteers, subbers contributions or the audience.
It is mixing fever with swan flu.
The biggest abuser in all of this = Viki because you erased volunteers honest work.
I can’t sanction a whole team, I find it demotivating for everyone and it’s not their fault (subbers and editors).
Putting people in the same bag, it is pretty much not considering their own feelings.
- some subbers are dependant and don’t dare. Some CMs are dependant and don’t dare towards moderators who are also CM.
Normally you recruit people for their competences.
If you know how it is on channels they didn’t do adequate measures to make it progress, then you shouldn’t take them again until they finish it.
If you don’t know, make a trial period to see if they keep being active and the channel progresses.
If not, look for another volunteer.
After 1 year or 1 year and half, look if it is finished. If not: ask why and decides only after looking at the whole situation.
If ppl are responsible, there is progress or they would ask help to other volunteers (coCM or recruiting or doing it themselves).
It is easy to see that.
