Do you want to discuss this? Jun 29, 2011


Then maybe you can give your Proz colleagues some more details.

Or are you just expressing your frustration generally?

As Nesrin rightly points out, the only answer to your question (How is it possible...etc) without more context, is that you fell for it.

Although with a tagline like yours (WORDSMITH. ONLY THE PARANOID SURVIVE), I'm surprised.

Or perhaps not.

Forum vs Blueboard Jun 30, 2011

HI Isaac,

Don't worry, nobody's following you

I think your second posting was censored because you mentioned the outsourcer by name. If you want to directly warn your colleagues, then the Blueboard page of that outsourcer is the place to do it.
Here on the forum you can come to discuss the issue without mentioning the agency by name. You could get advice from colleagues on how to deal with such situa

Here on the forum you can come to discuss the issue without mentioning the agency by name. You could get advice from colleagues on how to deal with such situations, they could tell you where you went wrong (if at all), hear their experiences etc.

on your last point Jun 30, 2011

No you wouldn't - the host service provider who does not remove libellous material upon becoming aware of it is also liable - hence the rule, presumably.

Anglo or not Jun 30, 2011

(And I find your tone is becoming offensive),. There are EUROPEAN laws that deal with this (and please don't believe that anglo-american law differs much in terms of actual content from roman law countries).

Feel free to feel offended... Jun 30, 2011

I will not censor anyone's feelings... I would just like to discuss the facts... and at least in Spain, libel is not presumed, but determined by a judge. And I still don't know if I've been involved in a weird chickeshit scam that could affect any translator affiliated to this wise website, the administrative decissions of which cannot be questioned or discussed upon either... since the matter cannot be publicly discussed... so Fug me...!! God bless Norman Mailer...
