I have done this repeatedly. From day one. First I started writing here in Discussions, because at that time there were a Features request and feedback section. October 2016: [https://discussions.viki.com/t/making-our-contributions-page-neater-and-more-organized/12811/1](https://discussions.viki.com/t/making-our-contributions-page-neater-and-more-organized/12811/1) As an example, here are two posts from 2017 [https://discussions.viki.com/t/feature-request-in-team-list-order-subtitlers-by-language/14224](https://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/after-new-channel-manager-rules-what-about-moderator-rules/16019) That, I believe, was one of the very rare suggestions that got implemented, albeit five years later. And here is a total request list: [https://discussions.viki.com/t/request-list-changes-id-like-to-see-on-viki/17390/1](https://discussions.viki.com/t/request-list-changes-id-like-to-see-on-viki/17390/1) In December 2017, the “Features requests and feedback section” here in Discussions was scrapped, and we were told to write suggestions on the Help section. So I did that. But nobody reads those pages, so in 2018 I made a comprehensive post with links to them: > [@My ideas for a better viki. Please comment and vote!](https://discussions.viki.com/t/my-ideas-for-a-better-viki-please-comment-and-vote/19173): > > Here are my suggestions for a better viki. Please read them and feel free to comment on them and/or vote for them.

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: [https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360035835133-What-to-do-about-abandoned-projects](https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360035835133-What-to-do-about-abandoned-projects) 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. And as soon as a new staff member came, I posted the link under their introductory post, so that they could be aware of it. The last time I posted about it was when Brendas first came. And of course it still lives on my Profile page. Here it is, in case you’re curious: > **[Request list - changes I'd like to see on viki](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_Rk6ea0j6ERkSwTqTi2SQtooEO83-rCxQBTy4dLSLcY/edit?usp=sharing)** > > 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: In 2020: > [@Our Viki collections - how are they ordered?](https://discussions.viki.com/t/our-viki-collections-how-are-they-ordered/29035): > > 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 … > [@Subtitle language in contributions page](https://discussions.viki.com/t/subtitle-language-in-contributions-page/30971): > > 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. > [@\[Viki Community Team\] March 2020 Updates - The New Inbox! sparkles](https://discussions.viki.com/t/viki-community-team-march-2020-updates-the-new-inbox/27819/61): > > 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: [https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000056602-New-inbox-necessary-improvements-Dec-2020-update](https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000056602-New-inbox-necessary-improvements-Dec-2020-update) In 2023: [Project number limit for subbers too](https://discussions.viki.com/t/project-number-limit-for-subbers-too/48585) So… Don’t assume, please. It’s okay not to know (not everyone of us knows everything about everybody else). But if not, research first before talking. --- _[View the full topic](https://discussions.viki.com/t/viki-community-team-july-2024-updates/55613)._
