صباح الخير جميعا
لقد لاحظت مؤخرا - وخاصة منذ انسحابي من الإشراف على صفحات كودوز العربية/ الانجليزية، أن هناك اعتماد تام على أن يقوم المشرف بحذف أي أسئلة تنتهك قواعد كودوز (الأسئلة التي تتضمن أكثر من جملة، أكثر من 10 كلمات الخ). وربما يعود هذا إلى عدم إدراك البعض بأن أي شخص عنده أكثر من 500 نقطة كودوز من حقه أن يصبح "محرر كودوز" Kudoz editor بعد اجتياز اختبار قصير وبسيط (على ما أذكر) عن قواعد الموقع.
المشكلة أن محرري كودوز - على عكس المشرفين - لا يمكن أن يحذفوا سؤالاً إذا كان هذا السؤال قد تلقى أجوبة، لذلك فإنه يفضل (خاصة في غياب مشرف) أن يكون هناك عدد كبير من المحررين النشطين ليتداركوا المواقف قبل تطوع بعض الزملاء بتقديم خدمات ترجمة مجانية لمنتهكي القواعد (كما حدث مؤخرا)

أكيد لازم أقول صباح الفل بعد مرور أكثر من 3 شهور على الموضوع. هل يوجد رابط أو شخص يمكن الاتصال به للقيام بذلك أم أتصل بالدعم مباشرة؟

"5.1 - I see some users (not moderators) reclassifying, or removing, others' questions. How are these members selected?
Moderators may invite members/registered users who have at least 300 KudoZ PRO points to read the guidelines for reclassifying and squashing, and take a short test. Those who pass have the right to edit in these ways."
الحقيقة إنه "على أيامي" ما كان من اللازم أن يدعوني أحد المشرفين لأصبح محررة، كان الموضوع أبسط من ذلك. فالعبء عليك الآن أن تطلب من أحد المشرفين أن يدعوك لتصبح محرراً!!

recently that some questions are flagged as against site rules for containing more than one term, I was always under the impression that terms or phrases were acceptable just not full sentences I also think someone quoted a maximum of about 8 words.

I think we need to seek clarification from the kudos editors what is permissible and what is not and this needs to be made clearer in the site rules.
This is not a dig at the editors who i thnk do a very good job just a request fro clarification ▲ Collapse

Hi Steve,
The problem is a Kudoz-wide one, not restricted to the Arabic-English word pairs, and has always been a cause of controversy. The problem is that although Kudoz rules state that we should ask only "one term per question" (rule 2.3), at the same time they state that "Texts posted for translation via KudoZ should be limited to approximately ten (10) words" (2.2). This is further clarified in the FAQ:
A group of words (up to approximately 10) should be posted in a single question only when they constitute an unbreakable unit, such as an idiomatic expression (e.g. 'a jack of all trades and master of none') that may be several words long and where omitting any part would not formulate the question correctly.
which makes sense, in my opinion, but leaves the door wide open to interpretation as regards what constitutes an "unbreakable unit" and what could or could not have been omitted.
Also, it doesn't help that there's a clear contradiction between the "one term per question" rule and the fact that when asking a question, you're asked to provide the "term or phrase". Having read the FAQ quoted above you understand what that means of course, but it just means that Kudoz editors have a harder time convincing askers that they should stick to one term....
