... as this will help this site to look more legitimate. If no one 'claims their profile', it might just disappear. I am wondering about Klaus Baumann's post - he very much reminds of the poster who had started the other discussion about Lingorate that had been closed.

Exactly what I was thinking. Very fishy indeed.

All this is just free advertising for this Lingo thing.

I also had an unpleasant experience with this site. The agency I've translated for has rated my translation as 3 stars of 5 without asking my consent for publishing anything like this. I've never registered to lingorate, so it seems like the agency rep has created my profile himself - without even asking me!
I've contacted lingorate and asked them to remove my profile - no reply. Then I've sent an email to BDU (Federal association of German interpreters and translator) and asked for their advice - and unfortunately, they told me that they don't see any legal ways to influence them to delete my profile and/or review.
So I'm afraid that the only way to fix this situation for me now is to ask my loyal customers to post good reviews about me there - that's what I'll do. Good luck and be careful.

This site has appeared on Proz before, and with a rather dubious topic starter (then, not this time!).
I think the best thing we could all do is to ignore the site - I have my doubts about its authenticity and also the "value" it brings to our profession.
I have asked the site staff to look into several aspects of this thread, and await their input.
Edit: Unlocked the topic to edit that the starter last time was dubious, not this time! Sorry for any confusi... See more This site has appeared on Proz before, and with a rather dubious topic starter (then, not this time!).
