I have done this repeatedly. From day one.https://discussions.viki.com/t/making-our-contributions-page-neater-and-more-organized/12811/1
As an example, here are two posts from 2017https://discussions.viki.com/t/feature-request-in-team-list-order-subtitlers-by-language/14224 https://discussions.viki.com/t/after-new-channel-manager-rules-what-about-moderator-rules/16019 https://discussions.viki.com/t/request-list-changes-id-like-to-see-on-viki/17390/1
In the summer of 2019, I wrote a very popular post about regional restrictions for QCs.
I also made a post about it here, knowing fully well that nobody would read it there otherwise:
I would really appreciate that they lift all regional restrictions for volunteers.
It’s a minimum token of appreciation for our hard work.
Yes, they give us a Vikipass (plus if they are in America) which is necessary if we can’t watch something we also can’t access the subbing tools and work on it.
But there are more and more shows we cannot watch because of geo-blocking. What happens then is that those don’t have enough team members and the subtitles are excruciatingly slow. The viewers get …
And another one about abandoned projects:
Abandoned/inactive projects, especially those which have been abandoned by the English teams, are a problem. Volunteers tend to seek the excitement of new shows, possibly on-air ones, with popular ...
Then, that same summer, after a Zoom meeting with Viki staff, at their request, I compiled a comprehensive Google document with my and other people’s suggestions. Which I faithfully and meticulously updated every year, when there were changes.
REQUEST LIST – FOR A BETTER VIKI Made by Irene Maradei September 28th, 2019LAST UPDATE: July 28tth, 2023 First written here: https://discussions.viki.com/t/request-list-changes-id-like-to-see-on-viki/17390 Update: July 10th, 2019. Update: September...
But I haven’t stopped writing here in Discussions as well, since here is where people mostly see and discuss everything:
It’s not a life-or-death problem, but I’ve been curious about the criteria of the order in our personal collections.
It’s not alphabetical order, it’s not order added either. It’s not chronological order (date show was aired or came to Viki) either.
Then what?
In each “page” I can see only ten shows and there is a “Next” arrow on the bottom. As you can easily understand, my Watched collection, which has more than 200 titles, is not easy to navigate.
There is no skipping to other pages or to …
It’s very distressing that the subtitling language is not shown anymore on the contributions page.
[no-language-showing]
Let’s say that if a subber works with only one language per show, it’s somehow possible to find out which one it is, by asking the moderator or even asking the subber herself.
But when someone contributes in two languages (for instance what I do, Italian moderator & English editor), or subtitles and captions on the same show, there is no distinction. You’re just getting two…
When the New Inbox was implemented, I took part in the discussion under the topic by Viki staff and gave my own feedback with problems and solutions.
Let’s summarize. Friends, if you can think of something else I didn’t include, please tell me and I’ll add it. Of course this is my personal view, you may not agree with some:
WHAT I LIKE
The fact that group messages one sends to team members from the project’s “Manage” page are grouped into one to three messages and don’t appear as individual messages in your messaging space: so you don’t have to delete 100 single messages in batches of 20 to get rid of all of them.
The fact that the message…
Then, to be on the safe side, I took my suggestions for improvement to the Help pages, in the Suggestions section:
There was a post of mine on this, but somehow it has disappeared and the contents were somehow obsolete anyway, so here is an updated version (December 2020).
To begin with, because a picture is b...
In 2023: Project number limit for subbers too
So…
