Completely incompetent, dishonourable and antisocial => The WeMod scandal
February 20, 2024

I've been using WeMod for some time now and at some point I thought, why not help with the translations? Which I did! For some time! Then I asked if I could be a proofreader, which I was given! I worked again for a while! Then I asked for manager authorisations to be able to translate optimally... This was also granted to me, with the statement that I could prove myself... So far, so good... Time passed again... Then I was asked if I wanted to work on the private translation project (where the translations are for the WeMod app itself and the website, not the cheat names and descriptions, which are in the public project already mentioned)

I asked if I would also be a manager there, which was denied! I would only be a proofreader! Translating itself would also be done by a professional translator, I was only supposed to correct his work! That would be fine in itself... However... The public project, which has over literally *******-******* words to translate, is free for anyone to translate, even for me to manage? But a project that has maybe 500-2000 words at most is translated by a professional translator and only managed by WeMod staff? Recognise the mistake 😒! It was also mentioned that the private project has priority... Here, too, you should recognise the error 😒😒😒

I also told all of this to this WeMod employee, who invited me... Then what? Well... I was no longer a manager in the public project! With the statement that they had consulted with the team and only gave me the rights because they thought I didn't have that much power, or something like that, because there were so many translatable words (there weren't many more than where I became manager)! The admin (the only one in the forum with this title, probably the manager) gave me these rights personally!

"Why don't you go to this admin and tell him?" you might say, which I actually did! But did I get any understanding? Well, actually, he hasn't even responded since this incident, not even today, and he's in the forum every 3-7 days at the latest (you'll see when you receive new PMs or messages in these)

You seriously think that's it? HAAHAHAHA! Of course the crown is still missing! Immediately after this incident I was told, after another request for comment, that I had only been removed because they had switched to the Enterprise version of Crowdin and changed the translation model! How is this new model supposed to work? Quite simply, you continue to make translations, but they no longer have to be checked by hand... Sounds good? WRONG! Because every translation of cheat names and descriptions now needs 5 upvotes to be officially included in the app! In other words, you HAVE to hope in the blue that EVENTUALLY SOMEDAY these 5 upvotes will come, which, as already indicated, is not guaranteed! Sure, it could be tomorrow, but it could be literally 2 years from now! Or never! And then we have wrong translations, with 5 or even more upvotes, which can be overwritten if other translations have at least as many or more upvotes, but as I said... Even getting 5 upvotes is a world art!

By the way, this was done with the statement that they only wanted to relieve us proofreaders! Funny, because we were not relieved but REPLACED! Which is quite a difference! So instead of people like me, who are proofreaders or even higher, being able to peacefully correct and let others' work through directly, we now HAVE to wait until EVENTUALLY our translations with at least 5 upvotes finally appear in the app, while the wrong ones are still there because they haven't been deleted and overwritten (I haven't even been a proofreader since then, as you can probably guess)

By the way, even Crowdin employees confirmed that the above model doesn't even exist... Interesting...

So THAT, folks, was the WeMod scandal! So believe me when I say that even Discord, or even Microsoft and co are more competent than them!
