As far as I can see the available moderators can't be online enough to moderate the site. Some forums sometimes turn out be a mess; off-topic threads take place on the other forums, screams of desperate girls for translations are every where and so on... I think some new moderators should be appointed among those who are frequently online and willing to do the work.

Have I posted to the right forum

KeithL also raised the issue of the entirely out of proportion translation requests. He took it one step further and wrote to the site administration. I think all concerns should be sent to them directly as they are not always available to read forum posts.

On a personal note...I am getting really tired of seeing the same people asking for translation requests multiple times in a day. It's as if they post every time they get a SMS or we are there next to them while they chat on-line. No, I don't have to read them. But just looking at the forum titles lets us know their content. Maybe people should stop translating them so frequently. Or maybe these people should realize the ridiculous situation of trying to have a relationship that is completely dependent on the communication skills of another party. It's so illogical and in the words of KeithL totally "illusional"!

Ok...I know that was a tangent. But I had to get that off my chest.

When I asked Admin to do something about the huge and absurd amount of (love) translation questions, he wrote to me that he thought it is a good idea. He said he would start to do something about it after Thanksgiving. That was last week, so I think he is busy with other things regarding nothing has changed yet. We should be patient a bit more, maybe?

I think there is nothing wrong with such translation posts as long as they are posted to the right forum. That's the translation forum.

I think theres alot of us sick of seing the same stuff over and over again. However this is a free online trnaslation forum.....and i t certainly doesn't say no sms/txts .... think we ought to chill out a little and just not translate it if we are that bothered!
p.s...i don't ask for sms to be translated for myself ever!

I hate seeing the one worders, that if you double click on them the meaning comes up......arghhhhhhhhh pointless

Well I'm constanatly on here seeing as it is sort of my gap year, actually I quit because I was bored out of mind and the things they were teaching is what I already knew so I saw no point in me being there - but I'm going to enrole to college next year .

Anway as I was saying I am on here a lot of the time and I don't mind committing my time to be an administrator, so you are welcome to give my name to Fatih (aka Admin) if you are considering to write to him

I think this issue has been solved. Fatih has separated the translation requests out of the normal top 50 forum posts.
It is now very easy to see new threads and recent ongoing threads.

Now its just up to the members here to keep the place interesting.

As far as being a turkish learning site, there are none better on the internet. But unless you can utilize the turkish language on a daily basis, your language skills will only advance so far.

But again, I think this site is very, very good.
