potetto Well, badmouthing isn't exactly something that can be restricted unless they are attacking the translators person directly. Well, you could turn this place into a safe space, but it would require quite alot of moderation. Also, vauge rules like 'don't badmouth translators/authors' would be hard to enforce. Like, i also criticized some translators about their professionality and quality of content. You can make mistakes from time to time, but you can't just miss half a chapter, remove parts from the novel since you think that it may offend some people, change the names of places and characters or continue doing the same kind of mistakes even after the mistakes are reported. One should learn from their mistakes no? If you don't, then you deserve the badmouthing of discontent readers. Would you say it is wrong to criticize them in these situations? But if you set a rule like 'don't badmouth translators', then where do you draw the line? It would be entirely up to the moderator to interpret it as he/she likes and take action...

    The problem lied on the community.

    If Qidian did such thing like regulating the badmouth translators, the people will say ''OMG censorship'', ''Communist'' or whatever.

    I had even seen how the community says to Qidian ''This isn't China, this is the west'' because Qidian's business methods is different like the subscription or whatever. And I want to use this moment to say to those people, ''This isn't the west neither your country, this is the shtty Internet.''

    Just because of little issue about their business methods, the community cried so hard. I mean, they looked like imposing other to follow their doctrine.

    And it's obvious that this can be seen in every forum of translation.

    So, most of the problem lied on the community.

    I'm not defending Qidian, but as a Chinese, I can see sometimes, the community includes some action of Qidian with China. And when I say action, it's not only about problems of Qidian, it's about every thing they do.

      Ohhh...finally. I like to see that user to answer this post. I keep on seeing her/him around here. 🤔
