[Viki Community] Project Contribution page updates

[bozoli]

Just a glitch then, but a fun one

[lovemyself]

Yes😂 I was like… why am I a rookie? I was confused

[bozoli]

We would have been awesome rookies, though. Already knew everything we needed

[teufelchen_netty_266]

Hahaha, right. Such cool ones

[lutra]

45,0 contributions?

That is what I see on your account
29,170 subtitles
If it is about the comma, as far as I know it is the American way of writing higher numbers, in Europe most of us will use 29.170 a period. If it isn’t about this, then I don’t know what you mean.

And why I am a Rookie

I was looking at your account and your contribution, I don’t see the title Rookie at all.

It’s like this

It’s like this

That looks like a formatting error, or at least a glitch.

I just saw that the first pages of my project page all look like this:

It’s not just one page but 4 pages full with deleted projects I once worked on including some CM projects such as Oh My Geum Bi. Would have been nice if Viki informed me about it before deleting it.

[sweethope]

Most of them haven’t been available for a while already, but you wouldn’t find out until after you’d click on them.

It’s just that the way the shows are sorted in the project contribution has changed and also it’s not possible to click on them anymore, instead it’s shown that the show is not available anymore.

[Fixed] Known issue: Projects not showing up on Project Contributions page

UPDATE, May 27, 2021: This took a while but it is now resolved! Community members will now be able to view the projects they have participated in on their Project Contributions page again. For more information about the display and functional changes, look here. We shared what happened, what’s changed, and what you expect from here on out. Thanks for being patient! Hi everyone, We are aware that some of you are observing that your Project Contributions…

[Viki Community] Project Contribution page updates

@jeslynl I still have only 1 project on the first page, then I have to go to page 2 to see a whole list of project, so it’s not corrected yet, although I see the blurb video of last contribution. I did logout/login no change, also on my overview page it shows “just 1 project” not like before several ones, was it perhaps 5/6 projects before?? I also found a change in the sequel of my Rating Reviews, they are somehow all mixed up with the years… [image]

Actually, since I’m making a list of shows subtitled in Dutch, this change makes it easier for me (as I used to click on so many links, just to found out they were not available).

[vivi_1485]

I don’t think it’s been deleted, @jeslynl said these channels’ licenses have expired and so are not available (that’s why you won’t be able to find certain dramas which were there before). If the license is ever renewed, the subs and everything should still be there…
Previously, they used to show the “This show is not available in your region” message for dramas with expired licenses.

[lutra]

We once were informed that most licenses are about 2-4 years, actually a lot of channels weren’t accessible for the longest time and now are visibly “gone”.

[jadecloud88]

I do hope they do Mass Delete of all those dramas that are no longer available because it makes the page look so disorganized just leave the ones available although I see no point now in having them in the page. As long as our contribution count is there; who needs to know what drama we worked on?

Agree. I wonder what’s the point, too. We can always keep our own tab on projects we’ve worked on, either privately in a google doc, or on display in our profile page. As it is now, I see “a mess” and frankly, I don’t like it. Besides, who cares what was worked on? We care only about the quality of the final output that viewers and we ourselves get to watch, nothing else. At least for me, that is the case.

Especially now that I have seen dramas that were Fully Subbed with good quality subtitles, and I see them with a new CM/Moderator/Team being ‘‘segmented’’ and ‘Subbed’’ all over again.

Me too. I wonder why… The only reason I could think of is a change in CMship. But then again, even with a change of CMship, why is there any need to redo the whole project?

There are also shows here from USA now that bc of ‘‘not my region’’ I can’t see, although the show is from USA. What gives? (Show name LADY GAGA).

Yup. This is puzzling. I wish I could watch LG, too. She’s an excellent performer!

Anyway, my main concern is to see QC Status and out of the blue is locked so ONLY US/ourselves can see that section bc is LOCKED

You can still see each volunteer’s status from the top left corner, and what their recent project contribution is, including their badges, etc. You just can’t see their “QC status progress” such as that “locked” section in your screenscap. Yes, that section is “locked” for all of us. https://i.postimg.cc/XYMmvjML/qcstatus.png

Would have been nice if Viki informed me about it before deleting it.

Yes, it would have been nice. They used to inform us, but… not anymore. Probably too much on their hands with all the revamps and upgrades going on.

@angelight313_168

Then comes the episodes if I want to jump to the other episode I can’t bc I have to go to main/home page and click on the episode I want to see (I don’t know if it only happens to me).

Just as @ninjas_with_onions has commented, you just have to click on the “selector” to choose whichever episode you want to jump to (but only within that range of episodes, usually up to about 10 eps) which you can see on the right hand side of the screen.

@padmalayag

They don’t get accepted for days and shows pending sign

This issue has been around (on and off) for a long time. I’ve been told that it’s a Disqus issue even though Viki has its own moderators. Exactly how that works, I’ve no clue.

The undesirable aspect about these tech apps, and one that’s most frustrating, is when no one owns up to the issue and everyone just points their fingers the other way, to the other partners. In the end, the users end up having to just “deal with it” somehow.

[vivi_1485]

who cares what was worked on?

Maybe so that ​a recruiter can check to see whether a volunteer’s contributions are legitimate and of good quality before adding them to the team? Their contribution count alone ​can’t determine how good the volunteer is…

Pertaining to the “quote” (of mine) you’ve quoted, I was/we were referring to Project Contributions column (please refer to @angelight313_168’s screenshot above), where the old/archived channels are being reuploaded. You can’t determine a volunteer’s quality of work (only quantity of projects) from that column. To determine quality of work (and only to a small extent), you need to look at the Recent Contributions column.

I agree that contribution count alone cannot determine such quality of work, too. I’ve seen too many “abusers” with gibberish “input”, let alone straight off machine translation, and sadly, the algorithms could not detect and preempt them. I wish it could. I wish Viki would look into it and create algorithms that could prevent abusers from gaining count in such unethical ways, let alone the problems such “input” could bring to the respective team.
