This might be a stupid question, but what does this mean? Do we, contributors, need to fill out a form of some sort to “sign up” or does this happen automatically since we’ve been contributing already? I don’t remember filling out a form when I first joined? Maybe I did? I just remember volunteering with a CM and then starting to contribute. Can anyone explain? This line kind of confused me.

So, the About page, which some of us have painstakingly fine-tuned over the years, will still be there somewhere, or do we have to re-make it?
Because in that one, I have my projects listed in reverse chronological order, latest first. Done, present, future. With links to each project, the date and the exact role (including subber or moderator of which language, or if there is a double role, I have written both. Those things are not possible in the Viki Contributions page, where it doesn’t even list the language!

Which, unfortunately, is the reality of many people. They have a few projects that have not been completed in months, yet they apply to new ones. As of lately, you see them rushing to complete older projects because people have been speaking up about their abuse and how they pick up new dramas because they have “free slots” but don’t bother to complete the ones they already have.
I can see both sides of the argument of being able to see how many active projects.

I’m happy about the light mode, so thank you for that.

I’ve got several applications from moderators without free slots.When you tell them, that you couldn’t add them, they are soo surprised “Ooops! I don’t know what happened!” and “I will complete this drama asap, please wait just 2 weeks!”

Sadly, it still has a “Follow” button and it means anyone can track an user. That’s an issue that I believe it should be addressed because users do not have a way to make unwanted people unfollow them, causing discomfort, just as described here: Weird accounts following me.
Since you are at it @vikicommunity, please add that feature and allow viki users to be free of unwanted followers as many other apps do. Thank you.

Could you please specify this more? I mean, right now, there’s already no privacy, as anyone could even read almost every subtitle I wrote, even if I rewrote it x times. And I can already see how many shows someone is moderating, it just takes longer to research. So making it more convenient for CMs would definitely be a plus in my eyes.

Majority of CMs don’t do such a thorough check, however. Because they don’t care.

But I and some/many others care and do a thorough check before choosing (as we’re supposed to).
And maybe the mentioned majority just doesn’t do that because it is so much work.

It’s kind of a difference between an advanced internet user and an average one. If you really wanted to find information, you could. Those who find it’s too much work to investigate themselves can then just focus on empty slots.
In the end, even if you knew all the projects the candidate has as Mod, it will not help you know how many projects the candidate has finished successfully (completed AND significantly contributed to) or abandoned. You still have to investigate if you’re that dedicated, especially to find any abuse.

I understood that it’s only for those who don’t contribute.

So far, nothing was difficult for me to find, in addition, Viki helped us because the Moderator, who did not have a free place, could not get another place. Because even if they tried to enter, we they would get a nice notification that that person doesn’t have an empty seat.

It just means that those who haven’t contributed (yet) will not have sections for Project Contributions and Recent Contributions present until they actually contribute.
However, that also means one can’t recruit a complete newbie by sending a PM. You have to wait for them to send you a PM first, whether directly or via the Project Finder. Which is slightly weird.
Has there been a lot of spam and phishing on Viki, so that’s why they’re limiting the message system only to volunteers?
And will this help to ameliorate the inbox error somehow?
Or was the inbox error there because they were working on this new limited feature?

I think it’ll still be possible to message them by going to our inbox, create a new message and paste their username in “To:”.

What happened? Where’s the new profile page experience?

That is quite enough, each CM writes that it is necessary to have an active QC status and at least one empty place. So every moderator knows whether or not they can apply for a new drama.
