Back to the subject and the core of your concerns, it converges with:
And the call we got last time back in September (if I remember correctly) with Viki.
2 things: inactivity and incompetencies.
Both are abusing activities.
1. Inactivity that led some of us to the bot:
We defended at the same time people who were truly inactive on their dramas (either CM, either the French mod, either the English team) and people who were active.
I’m not going to pay for someone else’s inactivity. I don’t see why.
Inactivity?
- Not being present on a drama to complete it and edit it before some time.
- Some time is in some people’s mind = before the 1 year’s anniversary.
- I don’t take into account exceptional cases (exceptional not common).
2. Lack of quality = incompetency?
Incompetency for Mods and CMs?
- being inactive while knowing the job description?
- being inactive and making others take responsibility for their inactivity?
- knowing Viki rules but not respecting them and still keeping the same way of doing things that goes against the policy?
- accepting a job we don’t have the qualifications for or recruiting a moderator/keeping him while having evidence they don’t have the qualifications to do it alone?
- assessing oneself = us or someone not thoroughly?
I think most of us are not children anymore.
If someone is not able to assess her/his own skills while taking an important role such as CM or moderator (the Viki guidelines are clear on they’re in charge of the quality, CM and mods): report and ask Viki to do something.
My pov:
They made a wrong move in picking CMs like that, because they let opened doors to abusers in being too lenient on the criteria to pick CMs.
Not only in managing, they allowed abusers in moderating (after effect).
Quality will be probably dead on Viki because people don’t run after quality (even Viki… bot), they run after “I was in…”, “I was mod in…”, “I did 500 dramas…”, “I managed…”
Ego, fame, self accomplishment to boost self confidence… whatever name people want to call it, is it coming back to the same?
And what about these dramas?
If they had their own voice, what would they say…
Thank you or?
I find it really a pity that some people don’t respect these dramas or say they like the stories or the actors or they want to contribute for the audience or they dare to talk about quality, when themselves don’t even take time to put or check quality in their own dramas.
Talks vs acts
I understand your call in: “Please, respect these dramas and the audience.”
Or “don’t just see them like objects you can collect for yourself?”
Echo to someone else’s post:
Self awareness vs. police patrol
People know, the question is: do they care?
If they don’t care, why then agree with Viki conditions or using the website like that?
If they don’t respect Viki policy, then something should be done by Viki?

Also, the thrill to be selected and the attention gathered, a consequence of it.
The thrill or the privilege to be selected on a popular-trendy drama, to be picked over everyone else who asked for it, then to be requested to participate by moderators to build the team.
The rush of adredaline, dopamine?
Being the attention center that results from being selected? Notice me?
Once the thrill of the “beginning” is gone (it never lasts long, brain system or life is like that?), people let this down and look elsewhere, on the hunt for the next thrill, something new to prove they can, they are able to, they are what they are not yet? A sort of accomplishment?
The pursuit of happiness? Attention craving? Filling something they don’t have in their real life?
What is this called? Is it a sign of their unhappiness in their real life, conscious or unconscious?
Or a sign they don’t care enough, their light feelings?
If we could open brains and discover what people think, to understand behaviors, explain why some people would give up after the first rushes or wouldn’t give enough care on dramas they moderate/manage and we thought they would care about because they asked for it… It enters the psychology field, your field.
Strangers of their brains can only look at the results or bear the consequences when participating in the same team or if we’re viewers. I don’t understand why we should bear the consequences for this? It’s not our job to take responsibility for someone else’s absence, incompetencies or unreliability or external problems. We can be understanding when given some reasonable reasons, but there’s a limit to stick to one’s role for one’s interest only and forgetting about the Viki policy or team/drama’s interest.
Dramas are not socks! Have some respect!
Any true fan / volunteer would say: they deserve to be cared about, especially by the channel manager and moderators! What’s their role otherwise?
