Re: Rule for Editor?

This is never going to happen simply because most project starter's ie. the translator who found the will to begin translating something to begin also goes onto also be the project admin. I highly doubt you will see a separation in these roles. And saying translator can't commit undo's is fanciful.Mosswind wrote: ProjectAdmins should be individuals who are able to walk a middle ground; for example, a PA should be able to sit down with the translator and figure out how his or her style works and where he/she leans in terms of literal vs free-edit. When edits start flying in, the PA should address any problems the translator has by not undoing everything that particular editor has done, but picking out things that the translator finds particularly offensive and fixing them. In fact, I think PA's should be the only people with undo/redo power.
The case of Log Horizon is special since the main translator doesn't seem to have an account on this website. He's given permission to post his work and do what we like with it. If LittleDrago stuck to what he said originally (needs a TLC from a translator), it's unlikely your edits would have been approved since there was no one TLCing against the original text in the first place.
