I think that would make interesting reading, don't you agree? Hall of shame or fame? I hope this can be implemented, seriously! What do you think? I know it's possible to see the number of questions asked from the profiles, but a nice clear table listing the big offenders would be fantastic...

Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
| | | | | a kind of pillory?!? | May 19, 2005 |
Well, Giovanni, don't you think that it would sound as a "war of the poors"?
Or maybe I don't get it!?!
Giovanna
It's already possible (as you spotted)from the profile page...so why?
I'm not teasing and if I didn't get it, please let me understand.

But seriously, it is a very good idea.

| | | | | with answers = 0 ? | May 19, 2005 |
I guess you mean those who ask hundreds of questions and answer none whatosever? Or possibly those with a ratio of 100:1 . We wouldn't want to "shame" the genuinely active... maybe have their names flashing red on the question page as well, or a pop-up that says "this person contributes nothing whatsoever"...

| What about those who do not grade answers? | May 19, 2005 |
I think asking questions is not a problem, as long as it is part of the participation in the community's life, i.e. answering quesions as well. However, those who ask questions and then never, or hardly ever care to grade them, that is something I do not want to name. Their attitude should not be tolerated.

In memoriam | I strongly disagree | May 19, 2005 |
Cheap shot, Giovanni,
Askers should never be labeled 'offenders' and nobody needs a 'hall of shame'.
A question you do not like is to be skipped as fast as possible and never be a reason to defame somebody.

I think it's a very goog idea. Interesting!
| | | | | Asking page yes, list no | May 19, 2005 |
Hi Giovanni.
Stats are shown on the KudoZ pages, if this is not prominent enough we can of course make it stand out more. I don't like the idea of a list, though.

Nobody should be discouraged from asking questions IMO. I do not think asking is a shame; asking too many questions for translations that are outside your abilities is a shame in my opinion.

| First, get the right dictionaries! | May 19, 2005 |
I think that if you regard yourself as a translator from let's say X language in Y fields, you should get the appropriate tools of your trade, i.e., the right dictionaries. For example a good Finance dictionary. And our fellow Proz translators, I'm sure, can help in telling us what dictionaries are essential. Once clear of this stage, so that you can dictionary check terms, there should no shame in asking.

However, a professional translator should not be asking about terms which are in the dictionaries (I've noticed there are quite a lot of these and I've replied to one or two myself.)
Most 'umbly....

I just wonder why the rule is not applied to forums, say, almost quoting your words:
"A *forum posting* you do not like is to be skipped as fast as possible but be a reason to defame somebody".
Is this a bad `golden rule', dear Mats?

SITE LOCALIZER | There is a difference I think | May 19, 2005 |
IMHO, there is a difference between forums and answering KudoZ. A forum thread is open for us to discuss things/opinions between us.
A KudoZ answer is given to help someone in need.
Cheers,
Monika

Yes, everything is open. And what is common to both forums and kudoZ is that we should not be indifferent. My own `golden rule' is "don't pass by when you see that something is wrong". So when I see at proZ something I do not like (including kudoZ problems and abuses) I usually don't simply pass by -- I go to forums to discuss issues and to find solutions. Not just to say or hear `it's OK as it is, so forget it if you don't like it'.
