I might be for a change, the most open person for discussion, after all I don't think anyone sits 12 hours a day on separate irc channel, alone, just in case any editor has questions. I took my time to prepare guidelines that can be discussed, and should be adhered to unless changed... but what does that effort amount to, when faced with the self-importance of certain editor...
The main issue was that Mosswind went in and started to make a huge, major changes without asking, without consultation, without adhering to specified project guidelines - in fact blatantly against them. I take my time and check every edit on series I do, every single one. But I've never seen someone go that far, moreover there was many changes that I didn't like - mainly changing the meaning in few spots and adding additional - unnecessary lines (why would you need to indicate who speaks when there's only two people speaking? In fact I do add lines indicating the speaker myself when there is a need to, but there - it was unnecessary.). And that was something I couldn't - and won't accept whether now or the future. It's annoying and
insulting the effort I take to support/supervise the editors to the point I won't think twice of reverting it. You took two hours to do it? That's cute, imagine how long did I take translating the entire volume, or the series so far - of which consistency goes down and the meanings change - and with that - the quality goes down.
Well, just this. I'm not gonna delve any further into this topic since I think it's really pointless, but I felt somehow obliged to at least write one post of reply to mosswind's ?accusations?
Also, I'm very happy that you're going to avoid me, thanks for consideration.
Any and all editors are welcome to join me at #antimagicacademy@rizon if you need to consult any major changes or you have any doubts on translated part of either Antimagic Academy or Elysion.
EDIT: This was my closing post on the entire Mosswind issue and a response to comments about me above, thus I'm not going to add a single one beyond this. (This edit is sponsored by Mosswind's post below)
EDIT2: Ah, right this topic is about rules editors should adhere to, (thanks cloudi, those rules make sense) and dealing with problematic editors, not about the editing style. There is a separate liberal vs literal topic started long time ago by larenthian:
viewtopic.php?f=55&t=5682 so please try your luck with editing discussion over there.
Anyways, with this I'm really gonna stop myself from commenting any further.
