Project number limit for subbers too

“As Channel Managers of teams, you have to assign yourself in positions on the team that you want to participate in. Example: As a CM, I have to add myself as a Greek Moderator & Greek Subtitler if I plan to hold these positions and participate in these roles.”

I think you’ve misinterpreted this statement. Or, I should probably say that the statement allows itself to be misinterpreted without any context. The aim of the above statement is to limit Moderator positions to only 5 and not allow cheating. If, as a CM, I also work as a Croatian Mod, but don’t assign that role to myself, then that is cheating on the 5 project rule for Mods.

The point about subbers who should not be editing is also true - those added as subbers should never be added as also editors (and vice versa!).

So, to simplify things for anyone who is struggling with the role management on Viki…

Viki’s roles are hierarchical:

1. Mod - write subs, edit, recruit into a team
2. Editor - write subs, edit
3. Subber - write subs

Now, as for the second part of this statement, I think it’s extremely embarrassing for Viki to write such a thing because it’s simply not true and needs to be corrected asap:

@Subbers Without Mod are Not Allowed Anymore?

The editor role is only for users that will be editing, not creating the initial subtitles.
