OpenSubtitles forum

May I suggest that little alleviate terminology, or specify. I got admin warning for uploading 'fake subtitle'.Fake- counterfeit, forged, fraudulent, sham, imitation, pirate (d), false, bogus ... It was subtitled for other film, which, unfortunately, I was not looking, just uploaded. Now anyone can think that I'm a thief and a liar. I'm asking for a little understanding. Thank you.

From what you say it sounds like maybe that warning was given a bit too fast and maybe "fake subtitle" is a bit short and not really covering the situation. But there are always two sides to the same story.

Have you already tried to contact the admin who warned you? Next to that red warning badge it's written which admin it is and you can contact him/her through his/her profile page (click on the user name) or by replying a message. If it was a one-time human mistake, I guess it could be reversed, or if not, a better explanation could be given.

I will contact him again, because this is the wrong subtitle (about which there is no dispute), but it is wrong, and not fake...Thanks SmallBrother.

You mean "wrong" as in uploaded under the wrong IMDb ID, wrong title? But further this is a correct and genuine subtitle? I mean, it doesn't need to be perfect, but it should be no big mess, no google translation, no duplicate, no false credits, no viagra URL's, no bad stuff like that. That would mean after correcting the ID, everything is fine and yes, "fake" would be the wrong terminology. And this happened one time? Then a warning is maybe a bit too fast.

But I don't know what is going on, so maybe I am being a bit too fast too.

So yes, contact that admin ("again"? What was said/answered?) I would say an admin doesn't warn a user over one small mistake, maybe there is something else. And keep in mind that also admins are human beings. They can make mistakes or just having a bad day. Or maybe he just corrected 100 subtitles with wrong IMDb IDs from OTHER users - and then you came...

Thank you for everything. I woke up this morning and there was no warning. I will respect all the rules, Greetings!!!
